sähköpolttoaineiden
Sähköpolttoaineet, also known as e-fuels or synthetic fuels, are liquid or gaseous fuels produced using renewable electricity. The core process involves electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen, which is then combined with captured carbon dioxide (CO2) through a chemical synthesis process, such as the Fischer-Tropsch process. The CO2 can be sourced from industrial emissions or directly from the atmosphere (Direct Air Capture).
The primary advantage of sähköpolttoaineet is their potential to be carbon-neutral. When used in combustion engines,
Unlike battery-electric vehicles, e-fuel powered vehicles can utilize existing infrastructure and internal combustion engines, potentially easing
Research and development are ongoing to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of sähköpolttoaine production.
