#3"from 2035 new cars and vans must not emit any CO2"
Wont this effectively kill any ICE vehicle? Biogas, ethanol, HVO diesel, etc.

I don't fully understand these proclamations. Can we really actually electrify everything, everywhere, by then? And what about long distance travel and haul? EV still seem somewhat of a niche in that they have clear restrictions and constraints.

it's worded so that synthetic zero emission fuels can still come along and save the ice engine which is what mercedes etc are hoping for

Yes, but as per usual this will most likely get pushed once the date gets closer, as I doubt the EU member states will all have the electric infrastructure for these vehicles.
However could be wrong, as there’s much more public transit in those countries so we’ll see.

#9The difference between the world now, and the world in 2050, will have to be much larger than the difference in the world of 1996 and now, in order for this to happen.
Without carbon capture it seems impossible to me. A person burns one plastic bag in their garden, and boom, no net zero.

The earth absorbs carbon through different mechanisms, although a lot of them are getting close to saturation.
