Synthetic fuels for passenger vehicles, commercial trucks or even marine applications could play an important role in achieving a near-zero emissions mobility, by using renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to create a closed CO 2 cycle when viewed from a holistic “well-to-wheel” perspective.

An analysis of near-term spending plans on renewables by the biggest oil and gas companies shows that real investments in renewable energy will continue to pale in comparison to capex plans for greenfield fossil fuel projects. Indeed, much of Big Oil's reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions leans on the so-called natural gas bridge.
