Yes -- hold that thought! As noted above, e-fuel is made from green energy and captured CO2. So, net zero, more or less, after the fuel is burned. But traditional oil extraction doesn't begin by capturing CO2. So, burning that fuel is carbon positive.
- sumy23 4y agoYes, but you're not answering why it's better to convert the captured CO2 into e-fuel rather than sequester it directly. My point is that converting to e-fuel instead of direct sequestration only makes sense if you can produce e-fuel from carbon more efficiently than you can extract and refine oil.
