Laut einer neuen Studie gibt es in Europa genügend landwirtschaftliche Abfälle und Holzabfälle, um fossile Brennstoffe im Straßenverkehr vollständig zu ersetzen. Trotz des Vormarsches für Elektrofahrzeuge argumentieren Forscher, dass „ReFuels“, die aus Rückständen – und nicht nur aus Speiseöl – hergestellt werden, die Millionen von Verbrennungsfahrzeugen, die noch im Einsatz sind, dekarbonisieren könnten.

This was a study done with a biofuel think tank and automobile engineering consultancy, commissioned by BMW. I wonder if that could have influenced outcomes ever so slightly…

While this may just be the automotive industry trying very hard to fight against the EV mandate, every alternative to imported fuel should be investigated.
How are they being decarbonized if they are still burning fuels?
Don’t they also import gutter oil from china?
Considering how much hydrocarbons feces and other waste contain, and that ~50% of biomass can be converted to biochar, if we really wanted we could’ve not only created circular economy, it would’ve been possible to decrease CO2 levels (even if slowly).
Also, if we wanted we could’ve used something like Pressure Swing Adsorption based on zeolite to filter out oxygen to prevent formation of NOx during combustion of hydrocarbons in modern ICE engines, or used fuel cells, etc. where it’s possible control temperature of reactions.
> could decarbonize the millions of combustion vehicles still in use
That’s not a thing.
Must be another of those studies paid by the German automotive industry.
