The Future of ICE, EVs, and eFuels [RR 881]

<div class="px-10"> <div class="text-lg pt-4 text-left prose-lg"> <p style="line-height: 16.5pt">Derek Kaufman, Managing Partner at Schwarz Advisors, discusses the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) and the potential for alternative fuels to coexist with EVs. He explores the recent European Union's mandate to eliminate internal combustion engines by 2035 and the possibility of allowing fuels to keep ICE cars alive. The conversation then shifts to e-fuels, their production process, and the challenges of scaling up renewable electricity for their production. Both Derek and Carm emphasize the importance of finding a balanced approach that considers different solutions to address climate change.</p> </div> </div> Derek Kaufman, Managing Partner, <a href="https://www.schwartzadvisors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Schwartz Advisors</a>, President of C3 Network.
