E-cars “environmentally friendly” despite coal-fired electricity
According to Ralf Diener, managing director of the “eFuel Alliance”, which includes car manufacturers and suppliers, the first thing to do is to influence the political framework so that the generation of climate-neutral fuel can also become a viable business model for providers. On the one hand, even an electric car that runs on 100 percent coal-fired electricity is currently considered climate-neutral and eligible because it emits zero grams of CO2. On the other hand, the taxation of carrier media is still based on their energy density and not on the actual CO2 balance.
