Efuels ‘need policy support’

Tax regimes in some countries means low-carbon efuels are treated as fossil fuels, Tokyo conference hears

Hydrogen-based synthetic fuels need more policy support in Europe to drive wider development as they have been overshadowed by the move towards electrification, delegates heard at an energy and climate tech conference in Tokyo. Hydrogen-based synthetic fuels are low-carbon or carbon-neutral alternatives to traditional petroleum-based fuels that are produced from CO₂ and green hydrogen. Also known as electrofuels, or efuels, they can be used as direct substitutes in existing fossil fuel infrastructure and internal combustion engines. They are targeted to supply 5.7pc of Europe’s transport sector by 2030 under the European Commission’s Renewable Energy Directive. Efuels have struggled to build
