The rest of the energy created (heat) is tossed overboard into the windstream through the coolant system or exhaust. Or lost to mechanical friction and Pumping losses. An electric motor has three moving parts the rotor, and the two bearings that support it. Not much if any of a transmission is required. No clutches. valves. timing chains; oil& fuel pumps. O r the 1500or so , moving parts that require lubrication ,adjustment, and replacement.. Electrics are 90-95% efficient. 90-95 cents of every dollar of energy is used to move the vehicle; and that is reason enough. They are just "better" in every measure.

Original Message
Researchers from Valencia’s Polytechnic University (UPV) have designed a new internal combustion engine (ICE) that does not generate carbon dioxide and other harmful gases.
It is a “revolutionary” engine that both meets the regulation on emissions planned for 2040 and also has high efficiency.
The technology used for the new ICE design uses MIEC ceramic membranes. These membranes remove CO2 and NOx, capturing its own CO2 and the environmental CO2 and liquefying it.

Funny thing, is I don;t think the new bidet' regualations actually care about reducing CO2, they are more about making it impossible to get a car that is affordable for the middle class(by jacking fleet mileage standards up to 40mpg)....
