Synthetic Gasoline Promises Neutral Emissions - But the Math Doesn't Work

06 May 2023 | Abstracted from Ars Technica

"E-fuels sound like a panacea, but there's not enough spare electricity to make them."

"Fossil fuels are a great source of concentrated energy. They exist as a finite but abundant resource because millions of years of time and energy went into transforming the organic matter they're made of into gas, oil, and coal...sure, synthetic fuel can keep race cars and old classics running...But in terms of mitigating the disaster we're in, synthetic fuel is just a very expensive side quest."
