Chapter 1Introduction

Tremel, Alexander

Pages: 1 –18

[The transport sector is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Since (battery-) electric vehicles cannot fully replace liquid fuels for aviation, long distance and heavy weight transport and marine, the defossilization of liquid fuels is an urgent need, but also a...

Chapter 2Electrolysis—Fundamental Technologies, Requirements and Current Status

Tremel, Alexander

Pages: 19 –31

[The first and most important conversion step for the production of electricity-based fuels is the electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen. Alkaline electrolyzers have dominated the market and account for almost all installed electrolysis capacity worldwide. However, Proton-Exchange-Membrane...

Chapter 3Chemical and Biological Synthesis—Basis for Gaseous and Liquid Fuels

Tremel, Alexander

Pages: 33 –45

[Hydrogen production via electrolysis is followed by chemical or biological synthesis to produce a gaseous or liquid fuel that can be easily transported and applied in the existing fuel infrastructure. Today, chemical synthesis plants are operated on very large scale and under steady-state...

Chapter 4Power-to-Fuel Plants—Conceptual Design and Applications

Tremel, Alexander

Pages: 47 –73

[The plant design and operation strategy of a Power-to-Fuel plant depends on the electricity source and further local boundary conditions. It is possible to operate the plant within an integrated regional energy system, i.e. to benefit from low electricity prices at times with a high feed-in from...

Chapter 5Evaluation and Discussion

Tremel, Alexander

Pages: 75 –83

[The lowest production costs are enabled by directly connecting the Power-to-Fuel plant to onshore wind, solar photovoltaics and hydropower generation. Generally, the differences between onshore wind in Morocco, hydropower in Scandinavia, solar photovoltaics in Dubai, and a mix of onshore wind...

Chapter 6Outlook: Risks and Opportunities

Tremel, Alexander

Pages: 85 –89

[The defossilization of the transportation sector requires political support since total cost calculations clearly show that alternative technologies have high cost during the market introduction phase. Market penetration has to be stimulated by suitable regulations and funding programs. Front...
