As all those who closely follow the development of the automotive industry know, for some years there has been a process of transformation within this industry, among other things, because in a few years, and unless the plans suddenly Changed, they would end up being 100×100 electric models that certainly outclass conventional combustion engines.
In this sense, we are currently at a time when, while it is true that many brands are betting on gradually increasing the range of 100 × 100 electric models in their catalogs, there are also many brands that are trying to increase the life of the combustion engine. betting on. engine as much as possible in this case To introduce innovations in fuel.
Not that it is no secret that petrol and diesel, as we know ourselves by now, represent a serious problem at the environmental level, despite the fact that they will still exist for some years, that The reason is that there are already several projects capable of giving life to combustion engines, but with more respectable fuels in terms of emissions and pollution.
Cost of e-fuel or synthetic gasoline could become a problem
The projects which are getting more thrust are synthetic gasoline, with the aim of increasing the availability of e-fuels around the world. A greater availability which also comes with a lower production cost and thus, the cost a driver would have to pay to use it in their car.
The problem in this case is that, as mentioned HIF Global Currently the largest producer of synthetic fuel promoting e-fuels globally, they forecast large-scale production of this fuel in the coming years. Synthetic gasoline will cost around €2 per litre.
As if this price was not high enough already, it must be taken into account that the taxes of each country must also be included, which, for example, are around 50% in Spain, so that for one liter of fuel The price of fuel could end up around three euros, currently a much higher price than gasoline, which remains below two euros. More than obvious problem for the industry.
