Accelerating the transition to renewable synthetic fuels

Accelerating the transition to renewable synthetic fuels

CROSS-SECTOR PERSPECTIVE

E-Fuel adoption depends on more than fuel production.

Credible policy, investment, infrastructure, technical readiness and real-world demand must develop together. The E-Fuel Association connects these areas to provide a clearer view of how renewable synthetic fuels can move from projects to practical use.

From renewable electricity to ready-to-use fuel.

A simplified view of how renewable electricity becomes a transportable liquid or gaseous energy carrier.

  1. Renewable Power

    Wind, solar and other renewable sources provide electricity.

  2. Hydrogen

    Electrolysis converts water and renewable electricity into hydrogen.

  3. Carbon or Nitrogen

    Captured carbon or nitrogen is prepared for the selected fuel pathway.

  4. Synthesis

    Hydrogen is converted into a liquid or gaseous synthetic fuel.

  5. Distribution & Use

    The final fuel is stored, transported and used in its application.

WHY E-FUELS

Renewable molecules for sectors that still need fuel

Hard-to-Electrify Applications

Support decarbonisation pathways in aviation, shipping, selected heavy-duty applications and industrial processes.

Transportable Renewable Energy

Convert renewable electricity into fuels that can be stored and transported across regions.

Infrastructure Potential

Certain compatible fuels may use parts of today’s storage, transport and distribution infrastructure.

Industrial Feedstocks

Replace fossil-based molecules not only as fuels, but also as feedstocks for selected chemical processes.

Direct electrification is central to the energy transition. Yet some applications require high energy density, long operating ranges, transportable energy or molecular feedstocks. Renewable E-Fuels can complement batteries, renewable electricity and hydrogen in these areas.

The right solution depends on the sector, application, infrastructure and complete lifecycle impact.
