You are free to choose the time slot that suits you best.
Summary
In the current context of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and global warming, and low energy security, the search for new sources of sustainable and renewable energy has become an absolute priority. Transportation is responsible for a significant percentage of GHG emissions. Decarbonizing transport is therefore a priority.
Humanity will always need to use fuels in energy systems, but the question relates to the type of fuels suitable for guaranteeing normal climate and pollution control standards. In addition to improving the efficiency and reducing the emissions of combustion engines in the long term, a fundamental change is needed in fuel supply that avoids both global climate effects and local pollution impacts. The production and use of renewable fuels are essential aspects of future energy supply and transport. The use of captured carbon dioxide to produce synthetic fuels, known as electrofuels, is of great interest.
The aim of this review is to present the results of recent studies into possible ways of achieving carbon neutrality in the coming decades, particularly in the transport sector.
Key words
