syntheticfuel
Synthetic fuel, or synfuel, is a liquid or gaseous fuel manufactured from non-petroleum feedstocks through chemical processes rather than refined crude oil. Common feedstocks include coal, natural gas, biomass, and captured carbon dioxide. Synfuels are designed to be compatible with existing engines and fuel infrastructure as drop-in replacements for conventional fuels.
Most established production routes begin with gasification of the feedstock to produce synthesis gas (a mixture
Synfuels can be used for transportation in aviation, shipping, and road transport. They offer liquid fuels with
Economic viability is a major challenge; production costs are typically higher than conventional fuels, though policy
