Zusammenfassung

Even with the fastest pathway towards electrification, a legacy fleet of internal combustions will remain on the roads for many years to come. Decarbonization solutions will hence be needed for conventional fuels. Biofuels are a lower cost option which can play an important role to help decarbonizing on-road transport in the near- and mid-term. Blue Gasoline, Blue Diesel and HVO100 are fuels that can be used “drop-in” for diesel combustion engines in the legacy fleet. For gasoline engines ethanol is a blend component that allows fossil carbon reduction and delivers high octane, which enables blending of lower-octane bionaphtha or e-fuels like MTG. E20 is seen as a logical next step for gasoline engines, as many newer vehicles on the roads are technically able to run on E20. Considering feedstock constraints for bio-fuels, also e-fuels will play a role, especially for aviation and marine, as they will need liquid and energy-dense fuels in the longer run.
