E-fuels are also known as Power-to-X (PtX), or Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO)A strong synergy exists with Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU), but it is not entirely the same

CLEAN GASEOUS AND LIQUID FUELS STILL NEEDED FOR MANY DECADES

• General agreement to act against global warming• urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions• share of transport ~25% of CO2 emissions, and not yet decreasing
• Electrification alone is not enough• at current rates it takes >20 years to replace all combustion engine
vehicles• not all modes of transport are suited for electrification
• Increasing share of renewables• requires large scale energy storage to reduce or even avoid curtailment• offers opportunities to convert low cost electricity• option to improve carbon yield of existing processes
The practical side of electricity storage

To conclude...
New Delhi, March 8, 2018
• E-fuels enable chemical storage
of (renewable) electricity
• E-fuels can be integrated with
existing production processes
• E-fuels offer flexibility in terms of
scale as well as fuel type
• E-fuels system drastically reduce
emissions (WtW)
• E-fuels fit with existing and future
transport infrastructure
