Scholz: EU countries beside Germany want clarity on e-fuels after 2035

An agreement by the European Union on a combustion engine ban is not up for debate, but other EU countries also want clarity on the use of e-fuels after 2035, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Wednesday.

Germany recently declared its last-minute opposition to a landmark European Union law to end sales of CO2-emitting cars in 2035. Berlin wants sales of new cars with internal combustion engines to be allowed after that date if they run on e-fuels.
