There will likely always be a need for hydrocarbon fuels until there are order of magnitude improvements in battery energy density, or we decide small nuclear reactors are acceptable for things like cargo ships and aviation. Plus, having much better carbon capture tech means just simply removing CO2 for some sort of inert long term storage is cheaper.
