We don't need to convert them to either BEV or hydrogen EV. --- End quote --- Even without the hard and fast rules for consumer cars, most new trucks in the EU will pretty much be forced to run on synth fuel or batteries from 2030 on ... there's no other way to reach a 45% emission reduction target otherwise. 2050 is very very close, there is no time to fuck around. Everything has to be solved at the same time. |

Forget lithium-ion batteries; their energy density is laughable. Hydrogen, although better than batteries, still falls short compared to hydrocarbons in terms of energy density. Hydrocarbons serve as a superior and safer energy carrier. Someone needs to develop an affordable method for converting CO2 back into hydrocarbons. The necessary ingredients CO2, the Sun's radiation and water, are abundant and easily accessible on Earth. All it takes is clever bioengineer who could create a tree that produces berries containing petroleum products, offering a sustainable and renewable source of such resource. :) |

Renewable methane is the easiest to synthesize carbon based fuel, pump hydrogen and CO2 into an old gas field and wait. Liquid methane is already a common truck fuel. |
