“…Therefore, reducing the price of green H 2 in the PTL process plays a decisive role in the overall economy of the process. Zhao et al found that PTL processes could show a strong economic competitiveness compared to traditional fossil energy when the H 2 price was reduced by 40% based on the existing energy policy in China [142]. Moreover, Adelung et al also studied the influence of the H 2 price on the net production costs (NPC) of PTL processes.…”

As the global climate crisis escalates, reductions in CO2 emissions and the efficient utilization of carbon waste resources have become a crucial consensus. Among the various carbon mitigation technologies, the concept of power-to-liquid (PTL) has gained significant attention in recent years. Considering the lack of a timely review of the state-of-the-art progress of this PTL process, this work aims to provide a systematic summary of the advanced PTL progress. In a CO2 capture unit, we compared the process performances of chemical absorption, physical absorption, pressure swing adsorption, and membrane separation technologies. In a water electrolysis unit, the research progress of alkaline water electrolysis, proton exchange membrane water electrolysis, and solid oxide water electrolysis technologies was summarized, and the strategies for improving the electrolysis efficiency were proposed. In a CO2 hydrogenation unit, we compared the differences of high-temperature and low-temperature Fischer–Tropsch synthesis processes, and summarized the advanced technologies for promoting the conversion of CO2 into high value-added hydrocarbons and achieving the efficient utilization of C1–C4 hydrocarbons. In addition, we critically reviewed the technical and economic performances of the PTL process. By shedding light on the current state of research and identifying its crucial factors, this work is conducive to enhancing the understanding of the PTL process and providing reliable suggestions for its future industrial application. By offering valuable insights into the PTL process, this work also contributes to paving the way for the development of more efficient and sustainable solutions to address the pressing challenges of CO2 emissions and climate change.

“…Recent reports have highlighted the advantages of PtL fuels compared to other synthetic fuels, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lower water demand, and decreased land-use requirements [16]. Consequently, PtL fuels have gained significant attention as a promising area of study [17,18]. Recognizing the potential of PtL fuels, the Japanese New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) initiated a project in 2021 [19].…”

A comprehensive survey was undertaken to assess the availability of synthetic fuels in the global market, followed by an investigation to evaluate their potential in engines. This report presents the initial findings regarding the physical and chemical properties of synthetic gasoline-like fuels, specifically DMC (dimethyl carbonate), bioethanol, EtG (ethanol-to-gasoline), G40, and bio-naphtha. A comparison was conducted between these synthetic fuels and conventional gasoline. Furthermore, discussions were provided to enhance the understanding of the potential influence of fuel properties on spray and combustion characteristics. EtG and G40 are specifically designed to emulate conventional gasoline. Results indicate that EtG and gasoline should be directly interchangeable in the engine or blended in any proportion because they have almost identical Research Octane Number (RON)/Motor Octane Number (MON), fuel density, and higher heating value (HHV). G40 has a higher RON (105) compared with that of gasoline (92.2), likely resulting from the high content of iso-paraffin in G40. Bio-naphtha exhibits the high fraction of paraffin and naphthene content relative to other fuels. The feature of chemical compositions results in a lower RON (55.9), lower HHV and smaller fuel density compared to other fuels. DMC and bioethanol blends in gasoline were investigated. Regardless of whether DMC or bioethanol is incorporated, under a 60% blend ratio, gasoline distillation accelerates initially, until DMC or bioethanol completely evaporates, after which gasoline distillation returns to its normal rate. With increasing the volumetric fraction of the ethanol in the blends, either chemical compositions or the RON/HHV basically change linearly.
