Electricity-Based Fuels

Electricity-Based Fuels

Alexander Tremel

This book discusses the needs of future energy systems with a focus on the electricity and transportation sectors. The general idea behind electricity-based fuel is explained, and the current status and future potential developments of this technology are presented. A main challenge in the production of electricity-based fuels is the fluctuating energy input from renewable electricity generation. The arising design and optimization targets for integrated power-to-fuel plants are discussed, also presenting plant design and operation strategies. The book gives an outlook on future expected production costs of electricity-based fuels and compares them with fossil fuels and alternatives.
