‘I don’t think e-fuels will be successful. According to assessments made in recent days, they are too expensive to be the right answer for an average European citizen’ and Berlin’s request ‘is probably linked to very specific questions and very limited quantities’. This was stated by the Spanish Deputy Prime Minister and Environment Minister, Teresa Ribera, on the sidelines of the Energy Council in Brussels.
Blocking at the last minute the regulation on the ban on internal combustion engines in 2035, already approved by the European Parliament and the Member States, ‘was not a good move by Germany and I hope that no one takes it as a precedent, because it could lead to of the difficulties’ in the EU’, highlighted the minister, according to which ‘the approach’ used by Berlin, ‘together with Italy and Poland’, which had formed ‘a blocking minority’, ‘is not correct ‘.
‘The good thing – he added – is that the European Commission has found a way to accommodate this request from Germany without jeopardizing the substance and importance
of the agreement’.
