German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said talks were constructive with the European Union in resolving a dispute over plans to ban new combustion-engine cars in the bloc from 2035, after Berlin derailed the effort this past week.
“We are in a constructive dialog,” von der Leyen told reporters after the meeting. “We give full support for technological openness, but it must be in line with our goal of climate change.” She added that the discussions were “good and constructive.” Scholz said that the issue is what can be achieved regarding the outlook for vehicles that exclusively use e-fuels after 2035. “It’s not at all about differences of opinion but about the question of how it can work,” he said. “And that is such a solvable question that we’re all very optimistic—not just within the German government but also regarding our talks with the commission.”
To make it, captured carbon dioxide is combined with hydrogen split from water in a process powered by renewable energy, creating a synthetic hydrocarbon fuel. When burned in a combustion engine, the e-fuels create carbon dioxide. But since it was made from previously captured CO2, backers argue it’s climate neutral.
