Our latest Horizons update brings together our hydrogen, carbon, and oils research to analyse the potential of e-fuels for hard to decarbonise sectors. You can read the full piece below and get in touch if you'd like to further explore how Wood Mackenzie is covering these areas. The energy transition requires e-fuels, but they depend on the successful deployment of other technologies that are still nascent and expensive, such as #greenhydrogen and CO2 capture. This month’s Horizons explores the potential of synthetic alternatives to fossil fuels – and the likely winners in the #efuel race. Read it here: https://okt.to/PgdNj3

Hydrogen is a decarbonisation vector and can reshape current power, gas, chemicals, and fuel markets. Hydrogen can play a fundamental role in enabling countries and industries to meet their net-zero emission targets by 2050. The solution to abate all emissions across sectors, hydrogen uniquely complements and enables other decarbonization pathways such as direct electrification, energy efficiency measures, and biomass-based fuels . In a net-zero world, demand for clean hydrogen could reach approximately 660 million metric tons (MT) in 2050, making up 22% of the final energy demand globally, grow at 7-8-fold and avoiding annual emissions of 7 gigatons (GT) of CO2 Commercially producing green hydrogen with technological advancements, improved efficiency, and lower costs of electrolyses would give commercial viability of clean hydrogen production drivimg the growth of the clean hydrogen market. Direct use of hydrogen will be dominated by the manufacturing sector such as iron and steel, where it replaces coal and gas in high-temperature processes. Hydrogen is essential to decarbonise sectors that cannot be electrified, like aviation, maritime, and high-heat manufacturing From now through 2050, hydrogen can avoid 80 gigatons (GT) of cumulative CO2 emissions. With annual abatement potential of 7 GT in 2050, hydrogen can contribute 20% of the total abatement needed in 2050.a This requires the use of 660 million metric tons (MT) of renewable and low- carbon hydrogen in 2050, equivalent to 22%b of global final energy demand   China is the world’s largest consumer of primary energy, should become the largest single market for clean hydrogen in 2050, with 200 MT of demand #HYDROGENMARKET #HYDROGENFUEL #HYDROGENDEMAND #SUSTAINABILITY #GREENENERGY #ENERGYTRANSITION https://lnkd.in/gcsUwVVZ

Ammonia: A Rising Star in Green Hydrogen Storage As we push for more sustainable energy solutions, ammonia (NH₃) is gaining attention as a practical and effective hydrogen carrier. But why is ammonia standing out in the race towards cleaner energy? 1️⃣ Higher Hydrogen Density: With around 17.6% hydrogen by weight, ammonia packs more hydrogen than traditional storage methods like liquid hydrogen. 2️⃣ Easier to Store and Transport: Ammonia can be stored as a liquid at a much more manageable -33°C, unlike hydrogen which requires extreme conditions. This makes it a more practical option for large-scale energy storage. 3️⃣ Existing Infrastructure: Ammonia benefits from an established global supply chain, making it an affordable solution for transporting hydrogen over long distances. 4️⃣ Direct Fuel Applications: It’s not just for storage—ammonia can be used directly in fuel cells or burned in modified engines, offering a versatile, low-emission alternative to fossil fuels. 5️⃣ Green Production on the Rise: With advancements in green ammonia production, we’re now able to produce it from renewable hydrogen, drastically cutting carbon emissions. In a world that’s rapidly shifting to renewable energy, ammonia could be key to unlocking the full potential of hydrogen. It’s amazing to see how technology is opening up new avenues for cleaner, greener energy. #GreenHydrogen #Ammonia #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #HydrogenEconomy #FutureOfEnergy

Exciting discussions at Reuters Hydrogen Summit on the green ammonia market. We’re still not on the right trajectory to reach net zero and status quo is not an option. Much more must be done to transform the global energy system and bring down emissions. Green ammonia can play a pivotal role in this transformation. By directly fueling vessels or power plants and serving as an energy carrier, green ammonia has the power to significantly reduce carbon emissions. It offers a cost-effective and lower-risk solution for energy-intensive industries and long-distance transportation, leveraging existing infrastructure and assets. The green ammonia market is maturing rapidly. Technology is ready, global infrastructure is developing fast and regulatory policies are progressing. Collaboration across the supply chain is essential to mitigate investment risks and optimize efficiencies, and many projects have already been announced. Despite the massive potential and positive developments, there are still barriers to overcome. Cost versus value uncertainty and the need for policies and financing to catch up are among the challenges. Clear, consistent and long-term commitments from governments are crucial to drive investment decisions in green energy technologies. Topsoe is one of the few companies that has the full Power-to-X value proposition. We’re building one of the world’s first industrial-scale SOEC electrolyzer manufacturing facilities, which will help ramp up production of green hydrogen and subsequently green ammonia. We’ve partnered with First Ammonia and secured funding from the EU Innovation Fund to accelerate the scaling of this cutting-edge technology. We’re fully committed to driving the energy transition and unlocking the tremendous potential of green ammonia. #LetsDecarbonize #HydrogenNow

E-fuels, known as synthetic fuels, electro fuels, or Power-to-X (PtX) fuels, are a type of fuel that are made from renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels. They can be in the form of a gas, like e-methane, or a liquid, like e-kerosene. E-fuels are made by combining hydrogen with captured carbon dioxide or nitrogen through a process called synthesis. The hydrogen is produced through electrolysis, which splits water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity. E-fuels are considered a promising alternative to fossil fuels because they can be used in existing combustion engines without the need for new machinery or upgrades. They also have a lower carbon footprint than oil-based fuels, and can be considered carbon-neutral if the amount of carbon dioxide captured during production is equal to or greater than the amount released when the fuel is combusted. Some car manufacturers, like Volkswagen and Porsche, are interested in using e-fuels to extend the life of combustion-engine vehicles. However, the UK government is not looking at e-fuels as a solution for normal cars and vans, citing their expensive supply chains and the fact that they emit many of the same pollutants as petrol and diesel.
