Synthetic fuels

Izpusti toplogrednih plinov so zadnjih nekaj let pereč problem predvsem v prometnem sektorju, ki poleg industrijskega povzroča največje izpuste onesnažil. Sintetična goriva, ki se pridobivajo iz nefosilnih surovin, predstavljajo eno izmed rešitev, ki bi lahko pripomogla k doseganju podnebno nevtralne Evrope do leta 2050. Predvsem e-goriva, ki so pridobljena iz vodika in CO2 iz okolice, imajo dobre možnosti za uporabo, saj so s svojimi lastnostmi, ki so zelo podobne konvencionalnim fosilnim gorivom, primerna za uporabo v obstoječih motorjih z notranjim zgorevanjem z minimalnimi prilagoditvami, saj mešanice tovrstnih goriv s fosilnimi gorivi izpolnjujejo stroge standarde za goriva, ki veljajo znotraj EU. Hiter prodor e-goriv na trg bi ob zadostni količini pridelane zelene energije omogočala obstoječa infrastruktura, ki omogoča uporabo brez velikih prilagoditev. E-goriva naj bi do leta 2050 dosegla večinski odstotek uporabe med gorivi ob strateški usmeritvi, da se celoten obseg goriv na osnovi ogljikovodikov bistveno zmanjša, kar predstavlja osnovo za zmanjšanje izpustov toplogrednih plinov predvsem v ladijskem in letalskem prometu, ki sta ključni ciljni skupini uporabe sintetičnih goriv.Emissions of greenhouse gases have been a pressing problem for the past few years, especially in the transport sector, which, in addition to the industrial sector, causes the largest pollutant emissions. Synthetic fuels, obtained from non-fossil raw materials, represent one of the solutions that could help to achieve a climate-neutral Europe by 2050. Especially e-fuels, which are obtained from green hydrogen and CO2 from the environment, have a good potential. Due to their properties which are very alike to conventional fossil fuels, are e-fuels suitable for use in existing internal combustion engines with minimal adjustments, since the mixtures of such fuels with fossil fuels meet the strict standards for fuels that apply within the EU. The rapid penetration of e-fuels into the market, with sufficient amounts of produced green energy, would be enabled by the existing infrastructure, which enables use without major adjustments. E-fuels are expected to reach the majority of fuel usage by 2050, with strategic direction that the entire volume of hydrocarbon-based fuels will be slightly reduced, which represents the basis for reducing greenhouse gas emissions especially in maritime and aviation sector, which is the key target group of synthetic fuels us
