Unlike conventional fuel manufacturing, e-fuels are synthesized from green hydrogen—produced by water electrolysis using renewable electricity—and carbon dioxide, resulting in 80% lower lifecycle emissions. Aramco aims to leverage its advanced fuels technology carefully to design an effective fuel formulation.

In fact, policies aimed at cutting carbon emissions improve air quality by a similar amount as policies specifically targeting air pollution. Selin and colleagues compared the health benefits to the economic costs of three climate policies: a clean-energy standard, a transportation policy, and a cap-and-trade program. Thompson, R.

The high-level performance goals of the Partnership are a 25-40% improvement in fuel economy in a light-duty vehicle (LDV) and achieving 55% brake thermal efficiency (BTE) in heavy-duty engine systems. bio-derived) fuels have the potential to dramatically increase fuel economy. The potential is significant.
