Electrofuels or e-fuels or synthetic fuels are an emerging class of carbon neutral fuels that are made from renewable sources in the chemical of liquid fuels

Can e-fuels power Europe’s low carbon future?

In the spirit of technological neutrality, Europe is exploring multiple pathways to decarbonisation. Among them are e-fuels, whose chemical composition is identical to that of fossil fuels but are produced through synthetic processes rather than extracted and refined. This makes them a potential low-carbon alternative – provided that key sustainability criteria are met and critical ...
