Synthetic fuels: the unexpected saviour of the combustion engine in 2025?

For several years, traditional combustion engines have been threatened by ever stricter environmental standards and a trend towards the widespread electrification of the car fleet. Petrol and diesel vehicles, long mainstays of our daily journeys, are likely to gradually become obsolete in the face of growing ecological requirements and the announced ban on the sale of new combustion vehicles by 2035 in the European Union. Faced with these challenges, motorists and professionals are desperately looking for innovative solutions to extend the life of combustion engines.

Among the emerging solutions, synthetic fuels, or e-fuels, are the favourites. Designed from CO₂ captured from the atmosphere and hydrogen from renewable energies, these fuels have the unique advantage of being usable in current combustion engines without major modifications. Thus, they offer a concrete and rapid response to climate challenges, making it possible to drastically reduce overall CO₂ emissions while keeping current vehicles on the road. A real boon for motorists and professionals attached to their internal combustion vehicles.

Synthetic fuels bring several key benefits that justify their growing popularity in France. Firstly, their direct compatibility with existing infrastructure is a huge advantage: petrol stations and vehicles do not require any major adaptations. Secondly, these fuels could allow millions of vehicles already on French roads to continue to drive in a clean and sustainable way, thus offering an affordable and realistic ecological transition for all motorists.

However, there are still several hurdles to overcome before synthetic fuels become the norm. Their production costs are still relatively high, which could limit their adoption in the short term. In addition, their mass production requires specific infrastructure for CO₂ capture and renewable hydrogen generation. Despite these challenges, the medium-term outlook remains very promising thanks to the numerous industrial investments and government initiatives in favor of these innovative fuels.

Faced with these major developments, choosing a partner capable of ensuring the sustainability of internal combustion vehicles becomes crucial.
