The Problem
Fossil fuels are the largest contributors to global climate change, accounting for over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The transport sector, heavily reliant on liquid fuels, is a major source of these emissions.
Transportation Emissions:
-
Road Transport: This sector accounts for over 77% of total energy demand in transport, with road freight alone responsible for approximately 7% of global CO2 emissions. In the United States, diesel fuel consumption by heavy-duty vehicles accounts for about 9% of total U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions.
-
Aviation: The aviation industry is responsible for approximately 2.5% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. Despite advancements in fuel efficiency, aviation emissions have risen by 70% since 2005 and could potentially triple by 2050 without intervention
-
Maritime Transport: This sector accounts for around 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Shipping, which is responsible for transporting about 80% of global goods, could see emissions increase by up to 50% by 2050 due to rising global trade demand.
​
To achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, CO2 emissions from the transport sector must fall by more than 3% per year to 2030
Our Solution: E-Fuels
E-fuels, also known as electrofuels or synthetic fuels, are produced using renewable electricity, water, and captured CO2. These carbon-neutral fuels can be used in existing internal combustion engines without modifications, making them a practical solution for reducing emissions in hard-to-electrify sectors such as aviation, shipping, and heavy transport.
Using our patented advanced electrolyser system, we produce renewable fuels through CO2 electrolysis, a process powered by renewable energy sources. This process splits water and CO2 into hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO), creating a mixture known as syngas. The syngas is then refined through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis into jet fuel (SAF), synthetic diesel, marine fuel and green chemicals.
