The German government gives up its resistance. The EU has now reached an agreement with the Germans that all new cars sold after 2035 must be carbon neutral. “We have something of an agreement with Germany on the future use of e-fuel in cars,” writes the EU’s climate chief Franz Timmermans. By e-fuel is meant fuel made from renewable electricity and which must be climate neutral. Timmermans says that the EU can now go ahead with developing standards that can classify cars that run on e-fuel as climate neutral. Germany has opposed a declaration of the death of the internal combustion engine that an agreement on climate-neutral cars would entail. But now the Germans have found that e-fuels are acceptable.
