Have you ever wondered how green hydrogen and synthetic fuels could change the transport landscape in the coming years? In a world increasingly aware of the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, green hydrogen and synthetic fuels are presented as promising solutions for sustainable mobility.

This publication offers a detailed insight into the future of these fuels in key sectors such as aviation, maritime transport and land vehicles. This study not only addresses current technologies, but also projects future scenarios for the year 2050.

One of the highlights of the project is the analysis of the energy efficiency and costs associated with the production and use of green hydrogen and synthetic fuels. Using a Well-to-Wheel approach, the study compares different technologies and their impact on emissions reduction. The results show that although green hydrogen is more energy efficient, synthetic fuels offer greater flexibility and adaptation to existing infrastructures.

In addition, the study examines the technical and economic feasibility of these fuels in different mobility systems. For example, in aviation, synthetic kerosene is emerging as a more viable option than liquid hydrogen due to its lower cost and greater efficiency. In the naval sector, hydrogen and ammonia are presented as the most promising options, while in land vehicles, electric and hydrogen cars are positioned as the best alternatives to fossil fuels.

In short, this project underlines the importance of green hydrogen and synthetic fuels for the transition towards more sustainable mobility. The implementation of these technologies could transform the transport sector, contributing significantly to global sustainability goals.
