The synthetic fuel I'm thinking of is the recent innovation which is made from base components...they construct a liquid hydrocarbon fuel from hydrogen (in water) and carbon (from the atmosphere)...it's quite ingenious....plus a lot of electricity (from renewables hopefully).How exactly does that reduce the amount of CO2 going into the atmosphere? Replacing fossil fuel with biomass derived fuel?
Sadly it isn't yet industrial scale...does seem to be quite a neat solution given that existing ICE engines can use it I believe.
Stick that synthetic fuel in a PHEV and I reckon it's job done...say 40 mile electric range for clean city use and then zero carbon liquid fuel for long distance.
