Synthetic fuels do not reduce emissions. The emissions are just not from fossil fuels. Or am I missing something?

- FartyMcFarter 4y agoThere are fuels that consume CO2 from the air during production and then burn it during usage (net being close to zero depending on the energy used to generate it).
- pjc50 4y agoI put "fossil emissions" in my original comment for a reason; things which are made from atmospheric CO2 and not fossil carbon, but then release CO2 again when used, are "net zero" and should not be counted unless you want to confuse people.
- madsbuch 4y agoThe normal person add fuel to their car and expects emission from the car. The discourse on qualifying different forms of fuels is way more confusing. It is also dangerous. If we allow marketing of "net-zero" fuels, fossil fuel companies will offset their fuel with CO2 certificates.
