@Rautainen @AukeHoekstra Sure:
#5 Distillation Curve Challenge: This has been debunked as untrue. Refining output can be changed with modern technology. If it couldn't, how is power-to-liquid even possible, then?
Also, even if this #5 was true, we are *not* forced to burn the leftover fuel. (1/n)

@Rautainen @AukeHoekstra #6 While afforestation in developing countries sounds like a good idea, it has its risks. At worst, it is renewed colonialism. Also, the longevity of results is uncertain.
To be clear: I do not oppose afforestation in general, but it is far from being a surefire solution. (2/n)

@Rautainen @AukeHoekstra #7: "Aviation, marine and road freight transport - Direct electrification is not an option"
Well, Norway plans to electrify all domestic flights by 2040. We already have several electric roads and BEV trucks&ferries.
Only long haul aviation and marine are more challenging. (3/n)

@Rautainen @AukeHoekstra #9 (p.23): "SUVs - can be challenging to electrify fully"
Umm, right. Please allow me to introduce you to the Tesla Model X, delivered since year 2015. The fully electric SUV that has 500+ km range and 2 250 kg towing capacity. (4/n)

@Rautainen @AukeHoekstra General note: Obviously there are a lot of unsaid things here. For example, what is the cost, service life and service interval of all P2X related equipment?
Also, how are we going to deal with air quality problems using liquid fuels? This is a serious problem in winter. (5/n)

@Rautainen @AukeHoekstra Final note: This "Outlook" vastly underestimates the potential of battery electric vehicles. Their life cycle CO2 emissions can be superior to just about anything. See: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Lastly, energy efficiency of P2X is omitted. Let me end this thread with an image.(6/6)
