Research Progress on Electronic Synthetic Fuels(E-fuels)Technology and Application for Internal Combustion Engines
Against the backdrop of ongoing global efforts to reduce carbon emissions,low carbonization and zero carbonization of fuels is one of the important development trends in the engine industry.The electronic synthetic fuels(e-fuels)can achieve net zero carbon emissions through the use of renewable energy and effective carbon cycling,which is one of the important technological routes for energy green transformation and upgrading.This article introduces the basic principles of e-fuels and comprehensively summarizes the policies and application progress of e-fuels in Europe,Japan,China and other regions.And a detailed comparative analysis was conducted on the synthesis technology and economy of e-fuels.Researchs has shown that e-fuels have broad market application prospects,despite challenges such as high costs and low conversion rates.In the future,reducing production costs and increasing production capacity will be the main research and development direction of the e-fuels industry.
