E-fuels: Wissing against higher CO2 reductions

German Minister of Transport Volker Wissing (FDP) is resisting DG Clima’s call to raise the CO2 reduction requirement for e-fuels. DG Grow had proposed leaving it at the current definition. At the e-fuels conference in Munich, which was organized by the Ministry of Transport, Wissing made a strong case for a workable regulation that would allow synthetic fuels to be used in internal combustion engines. The solution, he said, „cannot be 100 percent“.
