Summary

Despite significant progress in automotive fuel efficiency and electrification, current decarbonization efforts have only succeeded to stabilize CO2 levels, and significant global warming remains a threat. Nothing less than a complete transformation of energy system is still required and alternative fuels are set to play a critical role. 

Considering the various energy pathways possible, it is likely that all available decarbonized energy sources will be needed including: solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, and biomass. In addition, the resilient market demand for convenient, energy-intensive liquid fuels is driving a particularly strong interest in the expansion of e-fuels and bio-fuels. The evolution of the availability of these fuels has been ongoing for several decades but significant further developments are expected, helping contribute to the urgent task of decarbonization of the fuel supply. 

Today, we are at a cross-road, with a variety of regional strategies leading to diversification in favoured technologies, fuel supplies and standards across the world. As a fuel injection equipment supplier, PHINIA is preparing for the technical challenges and properties of these future fuels, including FAME, HVO, DME, ethanol, methanol, e-gasoline, CNG and hydrogen. PHINIA’s expertise in fuel systems and components, built on its long and successful experience with gasoline and diesel injection systems is being used to offer products and solutions appropriate for the rapidly changing market. 

PHINIA has recently developed and is launching a variety of products in different markets around the world to address this market demand. New solutions for gaseous and liquid injection are enabling efficient and clean powertrains, and helping to drive forward the decarbonization of the automotive industry, whilst simultaneously increasing product utility and value for the customer.
