The European Union has agreed to make a carveout for synthetic fuels in its proposed 2035 ban on the sale of new combustion engine cars. Per the Associated Press<\/ins><\/a>, the bloc made a deal with Germany on Saturday to allow automakers to sell new ICE cars past 2035, provided those vehicles run on climate-neutral fuels only. The agreement ends a dispute that had threatened to scuttle the EU\u2019s signature climate change policy. At the start of March, the European Parliament delayed a vote<\/ins><\/a> that would have codified the proposed ban after Germany, with support from automakers<\/ins><\/a>, said it would not back the mandate without an exemption for synthetic fuels.<\/p>\n

We have found an agreement with Germany on the future use of efuels in cars. <\/p>\n

We will work now on getting the CO2-standards for cars regulation adopted as soon as possible, and the Commission will follow-up swiftly with the necessary legal steps to implement recital 11.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe have found an agreement with Germany on the future use of e-fuels in cars,\u201d Frans Timmermans, the executive vice president of European Green Deal, posted to Twitter on Saturday<\/ins><\/a>. \u201cWe will work now on getting the CO2 standards for cars regulation adopted as soon as possible.\u201d Environmental group Greenpeace criticized the agreement. \u201cThis lazy compromise undermines climate protection in transport, and it harms Europe,\u201d the organization wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n

As The Guardian<\/ins><\/em> notes<\/ins><\/a>, making synthetic fuels is incredibly energy intensive. Moreover, without direct air capture tech, e-fuel cars produce almost as many greenhouse emissions as their conventional ICE counterparts. According to one estimate<\/ins><\/a> published before Saturday\u2019s announcement, a carveout for synthetic fuels could result in as many as 46 million fewer cumulative EV sales in Europe by 2050 \u201cwithout providing any additional CO2 savings.\u201d It\u2019s also worth noting that no company is producing synthetic fuels at scale yet<\/ins><\/a>. That\u2019s a significant point because e-fuels are unlikely to save European drivers money. By 2030, Transport & Environment<\/ins><\/a> estimates the average EU driver will pay \u20ac782 a year more to fill their car’s tank with synthetic fuel than conventional gas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
