Representatives of the 27 member states approved a package raising the current goal of 32% to 45% by 2030. About 22% of the EU’s total energy consumption came from renewables in 2021, meaning the new target will double the amount in less than a decade.

    This is the e-fuel that I was referring to. When burnt it releases carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere. It’s better than nothing, but it doesn’t decrease the carbon footprint. We should really be focusing on capturing CO2 and not releasing it back into the atmosphere.

    Hydrogen cells like you described are a promising alternative.
