EU and Germany reach agreement on e-fuels and zero-emissions cars.

Germany and the European Union have reached an agreement on the sale of new internal combustion cars, which will be banned beginning in 2035. Germany insisted that some cars with conventional engines be allowed to be sold if they run on carbon-neutral e-fuels. The agreement allows vehicles with combustion engines that only use CO2-neutral fuels to be newly registered after 2035. However, the EU Commission will make a proposal on how pure e-fuels vehicles would contribute to the CO2 reduction targets, which could create potential stumbling blocks for the future of the process.
