On the path to net-zero transport, the share of climate-neutral energy and alternative fuels will increase significantly. As the “champagne” of the energy transition, green hydrogen plays an important role in the decarbonization of industry and heavy-duty transport. Despite the debates about synthetic fuels, (often young) technology companies continue to push forward the production of hydrogen and synthetic energy.

The production processes are still complex and expensive and the efficiencies in converting electricity into hydrogen or e-fuels are manageable. Electrolysis systems are intended to make the production of e-fuels cheaper and more efficient – especially in regions with lots of sun and wind. At the same time, new approaches are needed, for example for conversion or separation processes for the production of biofuels, e.g. based on waste or algae.
