The Paris climate accord – in continuation of the original Kyoto agreement – and the German federal government's climate protection plan establish ambitious goals for overall CO 2 reduction. In 2050, a reduction of 80–95 % in comparison to the reference year 1990 is aspired for. This essay tries to outline challenges and boundary conditions for using e‐fuels to directly substitute currently used fossil fuels in internal combustion engines and turbines.
