A new analysis by Transport & Environment highlights that running vehicles on advanced biofuels is significantly more expensive than charging electric vehicles, while also criticizing the European car industry's push to classify biofuel-powered combustion cars as zero emissions despite their limited availability and high CO2 emissions.
The key insight is that advanced biofuels are significantly more expensive and less available compared to electric vehicle (EV) charging, making them a less viable option for achieving net-zero emissions in the transportation sector. This highlights the importance of maintaining strong EU car CO2 targets that prioritize EV adoption over combustion cars using biofuels, which may not be as sustainable or cost-effective in the long run.
