Five Things About This E-Fuel Chatter in Germany That You Might Want To Realize

1.  E-fuel basically comes from a 'power-to-fuel' process.  You end up with a fuel that comes from water and carbon dioxide.  

2.  Chief negative?  There are stages to reach E-fuel, and each stage has a cost factor.  Presently, no matter who is talking about the path....everyone stresses it will never catch on unless you gain a technology jump or throttle back the cost factor.

3.  Siemens betting alot on E-fuel?  I'd say presently....they lead the pack, and if this works out....they will be getting a huge position over everyone else.

4.   There is this belief that if E-fuels do arrive....it'll be for strictly larger-sized vehicles (big rig trucks, construction equipment, etc)....mostly because of cost.

5.  The EU says it'll allow E-fuels to be a potential path for the future of private cars.  It probably pissed-off a lot of the E-car companies like BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes.
