Argonne study shows range of GHG reductions for electrofuel Fischer-Tropsch; up to 108% reduction

Green Car Congress

The authors modeled the FT fuel synthesis process using Aspen Plus, which showed that 45% of the carbon in CO 2 can be fixed in the FT fuel, with a fuel production energy efficiency of 58%. This study highlights the sensitivity of the carbon intensity of FT fuels to the system boundary selection (i.e.,
