The main advantage of renewable gasoline over batteries is that we can decarbonize the existing vehicle fleet without replacing it. Also, the very high energy density of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel will make sense for a long time in Jet aircraft, long haul trucks, and ocean container ships, for example.
- cjbenedikt 7y agoThe very high density is in hydrogen - actually.

- Grustaf 7y agoNow for aircraft I can see how it makes sense, but anything ground based could easily be electrified. Another thing, will this synthetic diesel burn cleanly like hydrogen or do they need to add lots of nasty stuff?
