E-fuels are synthetic fuels that can be used to power cars and planes without emitting carbon dioxide. They are made by combining hydrogen and carbon dioxide, which can be captured from the air or from industrial sources. However, e-fuels have a hidden cost: they require a lot of energy and water to produce, and they may not be as efficient or sustainable as electric vehicles.

Its #water demand is even more mind bending.
Falter et al come to the conclusion that: "The water footprint consists of 7.4 liters per liter of jet fuel of direct demand on-site and 42.4 liters per liter of jet fuel of indirect demand"
By the way: I don't see any reason why the numbers should significantly differ for car fuel.
Let's say the 42 litres will magically solve itself by #innovation and somehow #efficient processes (yeah, we hear you FDP, the future is going to be great!).
Then there is still a demand of 7 litres per litre of fuel on-site. On-site (as discussed in Germany at the moment) means: sunny regions towards the equator, deserts, South America, Africa, well basically were ever the colonies were.
This debate is stupid, utterly, utterly colonialist.

Currently, Africa relies heavily on biomass for primary energy.
In 2050 solarPV electricity is used directly, converted to #SyntheticFuels for transport & industry, or stored in batteries.
