I‘m not particularly hyped about synthetic fuels, but the application to low-carbon cement seems important to me, if this is possible at the scale required
There are plenty of applications where batteries simply won't be sufficient, so synthetic fuels do have a place. Just not in land based transport.
Agreed. Or the heating of buildings and warm water. (edit: would also be very! inefficient)
Maybe in some remote, off-grid cabins, otherwise heating with synthetic fuels would be hugely inefficient.
Yes. That is how I meant the comment. I see now, it could be read both ways.
