eFuels – such as e-hydrogen, e-ammonia, e-methanol and e-hydrocarbons – convert renewable electricity (along with water and eligible CO₂) into transport fuels that can be used across various modes. This enables deep decarbonisation without the need to replace the entire vehicle, aircraft or vessel fleet.
Because of their versatility. Road can deploy green hydrogen for fuel cells and drop-in e-diesel/e-gasoline or e-methane for heavy-duty and long-haul. Aviation relies on PtL e-kerosene (SAF) for blend-in today and higher blends tomorrow. And maritime can switch to e-methanol, e-ammonia, e-LNG or e-diesel using evolving engines and existing logistics.
Under the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III), first-wave fuel projects need to demonstrate compliance with strict sustainability rules to access the market and secure investment. This is where renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) step in – liquid or gaseous fuels sourced from renewable energy sources other than biomass.
Demonstrating additionality, temporal, and geographical correlation.
From direct air capture (DAC), biogenic CO₂, or fossil CO₂ covered by the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) under strict conditions.
Relative to the fossil fuel comparator.
