INSIGHT: Synthetic fuels key transitional tool for decarbonising Europe's road transport

摘要

LONDON (ICIS)--Synthetic fuels could play a major role in reducing Europe’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in road transport until a fully electric vehicle fleet becomes a reality. While electric vehicles (EVs) are set to establish a strong foothold in road transport through exponential growth in the coming decades, the traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are expected to stay on European roads for years to come. Making ICE vehicles greener will be key to reduce emission, and synthetic fuels will play a key role for that, according to many industry players at the IP Week event held in London earlier in the year.
