To meet climate targets the emissions of greenhouse gases from transport need to be reduced considerably. Electrofuels (e-fuels) produced from low-CO2 electricity, water, and carbon (or nitrogen) are potential low-climate-impact transportation fuels. The purpose of this review is to provide a technoeconomic assessment of the feasibility and potential of e-fuels for road, ocean, and air transport. The assessment is based on a review of publications discussing e-fuels for one or more transport modes. For each transport mode, (i) e-fuel options are mapped, (ii) cost per transport unit (e.g., vehicle km) and carbon abatement costs are estimated and compared to conventional options, (iii) prospects and challenges are highlighted, and (iv) policy context is described. Carbon abatement costs for e-fuels (considering vehicle cost, fuel production and distribution cost) are estimated to be in the range 110-1250 €/tonne CO2with e-gasoline and e-diesel at the high end of the range. The investigated combined biofuel and e-fuels production pathways (based on forest residues and waste) are more cost-competitive than the stand-alone e-fuel production pathways, but the global availability of sustainable biomass is limited making these pathways more constrained. While the potential for e-fuels to decarbonize the transport sector has been discussed extensively in the literature, many uncertainties in terms of production costs, vehicle costs and environmental performance remain. It is too early to rule out or strongly promote particular e-fuels for different transport modes. For e-fuels to play a significant role in transportation, their attractiveness relative to other transport options needs to be improved. Incentives will be needed for e-fuels to be cost-effective and increased clarity on how e-fuels are linked to existing policies is needed.

“…A methanol-to-SAF process is currently under development. 44 The gasification pathway defined in this study is based on information from the literature on MSW gasification and subsequent conversion to SAF through methanol. In the gasification pathway, recyclable and noncombustible materials are removed from the bulk MSW waste stream in a refuse-derived fuel (RDF) facility ("Physical Separation" in Figure 1b) that is co-located with the landfill facility including cranes and conveyors, primary shredder, magnetic separator, eddy current separator, disc screens, air classifier, and secondary shredder.…”

Converting low-cost wet organic and municipal solid wastes into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) represents an immediate opportunity to help decarbonize the aviation sector. To accelerate the commercialization of waste-to-energy technologies, we identify feasible deployment opportunities in the United States (U.S.) for two emerging SAF pathways including direct hydrothermal liquefaction for blended wet organic wastes and gasification with methanol synthesis for municipal solid waste. The impact of fuel credits on plant locations, scales, and performance is investigated by varying the target jet fuel price from a baseline 5 year average of USD $1.97 per gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) to a RIN credit-adjusted target of USD $2.70/GGE. Total feedstock utilization and SAF output are summarized nationally, by state, and by proximity to existing jet fuel storage and major airports. Depending on carbon credit price, between 40 and 100 sites in the U.S. could produce between 13 and 21 billion L/y (3–5 billion gal/y) of SAF, representing 15–25% of total annual jet fuel use, thereby reducing the carbon intensity of the aviation sector by up to 10–18%. Identified opportunities can help focus future SAF efforts in geographic regions with abundant low-cost feedstock supply in proximity to jet fuel storage and demand.

“…For aviation purposes methanol could be converted to kerosene-type aviation fuels using a process similar to the methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) process (Wang et al, 2016;Wormslev and Broberg, 2020). Methanol itself is not usually considered the most suitable fuel due to its lower volumetric energy density compared to kerosene.…”
