The price for e-kerosene is currently at least four times more expensive than fossil kerosene, which is approximately 550 euros per ton. But Dr. Neuling is convinced that “with larger, optimised plants and lower electricity prices, it should be possible to reduce the price to less than 1,000...
Synthetic fuels are how much more expensive than hydrogen? There has been a lot of research in H2 in the last 40 years, but way less in synthetic fuels.
I also cannot see batteries for intercontinental flights.
As for leaking jet fuel vs H2: At least we have 100 years experience with jet fuel...
There was an interview with a guy from Mercedes/Actros truck division. He said, BEV for long haul trucks will be no problem, we just have to make the battery big enough to handle 4-5 hours, because then - legally in the EU - the driver has to have mandatory rest period which will be enough to...
I also thought that there might be niches, but where are they?
1. Shipping? Should be a hybrid solution with batteries and synthetic fuels.
2. Airplane? Would you seriously considering sitting in a plain with a leaking tank full of explosive hydrogen?
And the 19kWh, 19%, might be optimistic. This professor from my other post said, in all this H2 studies, he did not find losses occurring in H2 "gas" station.
H2 economy is insane! The efficiency "well to wheel" is horrific, so even all H2 is produced by renewable we need like 3-4 times as many renewables as we need with BEV. These renewable sources have to manufactured, maintained and replaced regularly all consumes additional energy. What are these...
IMHO this has nothing to do with German car culture.
In the Chinese market, I cannot order a Taycan with the standard speakers, they all came with Bose min. They do differentiate.
The problem with the US market is, the USD lost value over the DM/EURO over the last 60 years. What was once a...
