Today, Stefan Unnasch from Life Cycle Associates and Steffen Mueller from the Energy Resources Center (ERC) spoke about how the aviation industry can be decarbonized through biofuels that can be blended into jet fuels. One of the ERC research groups is focused on life cycle greenhouse gas emissions analyses of bioenergy and clean transportation options, including sustainable aviation fuels. This ERC Speaker Series webinar provided insights into how the carbon intensity of different sustainable aviation fuels is determined and the most promising feedstocks on the market today.

🚗🗞️ Do not miss the publication "Fuelling Change: An Update to our Driving to 2050 Vision" released by Canadian Fuels Association - Association canadienne des carburants 👉https://lnkd.in/dCp7nTmU Three years ago, the Canadian Fuels Association released Driving to 2050, their vision for #decarbonizing the #transportation sector in support of Canada’s goal of #NetZero by 2050. Since then, they have put words into action with member projects from coast to coast spanning the full range of decarbonization pathways, including biofuels, hydrogen, carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) and electrification.

If we were to use it strategically, hydrogen fuel could play a critical role in getting us to net zero greenhouse gas emissions, before it’s too late. Hydrogen Fuel: An Overview, and Potential for Green Energy https://lnkd.in/gPwC8GaP

For Earth Day, I asked OEMs to weigh in on which alternative fuel or power technology showed the most promise in reducing emissions in the near term. Got many great answers! https://lnkd.in/eZ_X82ym #powerbriefing #powerprogress #emissions #alternativefuels #alternativeenergy

🌱 Transitioning to Sustainable and Alternative Fuels for a Greener Future 🌱 With fossil fuels still driving 48% of global energy consumption, the need to shift towards sustainable and alternative fuels is urgent. Promising alternatives like biofuels, hydrogen fuel, and synthetic fuels can significantly reduce emissions and enhance energy security. Embrace these innovations to drive the transition towards a cleaner, greener future.

E-synthetic Fuels In my last post I highlighted how a Gen1/2 EV is not environmentally friendly, which is a problem.  So what are the alternatives and is there a robust solution out there for the over 1.3 billion ICE vehicles on the road around the world and that will be on the road for years to come? Hydrogen is often tabled as the future and many companies have invested heavily in this technology, either as a fuel for an ICE vehicle or as a fuel source in a Fuel Cell to provide power for EV motors. Either way hydrogen is very explosive and so fuel tanks are not like the fuel tanks used on our Euro 6/7 ICE vehicles but complex, heavy, reinforced tanks, needed to both contain the fuel in normal operation but also strong enough to survive a crash which could be catastrophic and in existing ICE vehicles, significant impractical modifications would be needed in order to operate with hydrogen. So if EV is not yet environmentally friendly and hydrogen not an easy step change or conversion on the existing 1.3 billion global ICE vehicle fleet operating in the world, how can we help the environment today? The answer lies with e-synthetic fuels, fuels with the same output as petroleum based fuels, pumped and distributed in gas stations/forecourts, just like it is today and can be used in our ICE gasoline/petrol and diesel vehicles without any modifications and be environmentally friendly with net zero carbon emissions. This is called a no-brainer… Synthetic fuel and lubricants have been around for over 100 years developed by brilliant chemists, chemical engineers and physicists, originally synthesising the carbon in coal with a electrolysis process. Today, companies like HIF Global ( https://lnkd.in/gr4v5SQq ) use carbon dioxide captured from the air and wind generated electricity for the electrolysis process, producing a net zero carbon fuel (gasoline and diesel) that can be used in an ICE vehicle without modifications. The beauty of e-synthetic fuels is it not only addresses the global fleet (1.3 bn automotive vehicles) but allows OEM vehicle manufacturers and its suppliers to continue to benefit from a return on net assets. What e-synthetic suppliers are now working on, is to scale up production to make the fuel competitive priced when compared with artificially controlled OPEC priced petroleum based fuels. Either way the free market is speaking, with new EV sales and resales stagnating or plummeting in many markets. Politicians need to allow the free markets to continue to be free and the state needs to refrain from dictating what we should or should not drive but if the market could understand they can still drive whatever they want and also be net carbon neutral then e-synthetic fuel is the solution.

Many different sectors can decarbonize rapidly by embracing lower-carbon fuels like hydrogen and biofuels — especially those which are hard to electrify: http://bit.ly/3myYMj4 #NaturalGas #Hydrogen #EnergyTransition
