Synthetic Fuels

Issues

● Replacing fossil fuels in the maritime and aviation sectors

These two sectors alone account for a quarter of global CO2 emissions.

Synthetic fuels are particularly well-suited for sectors where decarbonization can only be achieved through electrification.

The fuel of the future for decarbonizing heavy-duty transportation, in particular, would involve using synthetic fuels or e-fuels produced from hydrogen and CO2.

● Support project developers in the planning, design, and construction of e-biokerosene and e-methanol production plants

E-methane, e-kerosene, e-methanol… Synthetic fuels, or “e-fuels,” encompass all fuels—whether liquid or gaseous—produced from renewable electricity (such as solar or wind power) or decarbonized electricity. This feedstock distinguishes them from biofuels, which are primarily produced from biomass.

What is synthetic fuel?

Synthetic fuels, or e-fuels, are produced from renewable (solar and wind) or decarbonized electricity, carbon dioxide or nitrogen in the case of e-ammonia, and hydrogen produced by electrolysis. This raw material sets them apart from biofuels, which are primarily produced from biomass.

They fully contribute to the decarbonization of transportation and industry by drastically reducing harmful emissions from engine combustion into the environment. Their carbon footprint is lower than that of petroleum-based fuels.

These fuels, also known as synthetic fuels or “e-fuels,” are part of the national low-carbon strategy aimed at decarbonizing maritime transport and promoting more sustainable aviation.
