Bosch on importance of renewable synthetic fuels to reach climate goals; e-fuels

Green Car Congress

In addition, around half the vehicles that will be on the road in 2030 have already been sold—most with gasoline or diesel engines. to make synthetic gasoline, diesel, gas, or kerosene. As their name suggests, renewable synthetic fuels are made exclusively with energy obtained from renewable sources such as the sun or wind.

Biomass fuels: challenges and opportunities – ET Auto

Baua Electric

While solar and wind provide carbon-free electricity or H 2 through water splitting, they lack the ability to directly produce carbon-based fuels and chemicals without additional carbon sources. By cycling carbon through energy generation systems as biomass, it offers a means to address climate change.

Tenneco exploring synthetic fuels for climate-neutral mobility; NAMOSYN project

Green Car Congress

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.

Hycagens improved biodiesel successfully completes first stage testing in stationary power application

Green Car Congress

A hyper-stabilized reusable enzyme catalyst assimilates the combined feedstocks into the Hycadiesel generating no waste. The Hycagen solution therefore completely circumvents the issues of glycerol waste, use of caustic alkali, the recycling of methanol and the product wash steps needed with the conventional biodiesel process.
