What Is Synthetic Gasoline?


What is Synthetic Gasoline? Synthetic gasoline, also known as synthetic fuel or e-fuel, is a liquid fuel produced through chemical […]

The fundamental concept involves taking readily available raw materials, like carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2), and transforming them into hydrocarbon chains that closely resemble those found in conventional gasoline. While it is unlikely to completely replace conventional gasoline in the near future, it has the potential to play a significant role in a decarbonized transportation sector, particularly for applications where electrification is challenging, such as long-haul trucking, aviation, and shipping. Ongoing research and development efforts are focused on improving the efficiency, reducing the cost, and minimizing the environmental impacts of synthetic gasoline production, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
