Bosch on importance of renewable synthetic fuels to reach climate goals; e-fuels

Green Car Congress

Electromobility is just now picking up momentum; further, electric cars are only as emissions-free as the production of electricity that charges their batteries. In addition, around half the vehicles that will be on the road in 2030 have already been sold—most with gasoline or diesel engines. Climate neutrality.
