Green hydrogen and E-fuels: for decarbonization of hard to abate sectors

Green hydrogen and e-fuels have emerged as promising solutions for the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation, shipping, and heavy industries. These sectors face unique challenges in reducing greenhouse gas emissions due to their reliance on energy-dense fuels and high-temperature processes, where electrification alone is often insufficient. Green hydrogen, produced via water electrolysis powered by renewable energy, serves as a versatile energy carrier and a critical feedstock for synthesizing e-fuels such as ammonia, methanol, and synthetic hydrocarbons. These e-fuels enable the integration of renewable energy into transportation and industrial processes by providing carbon-neutral alternatives to fossil fuels.

This paper examines the potential of green hydrogen and e-fuels to address key decarbonization challenges, exploring their production pathways, energy efficiency, and economic viability. It also evaluates the role of policy frameworks, technological advancements, and infrastructure development in scaling up their adoption. By highlighting case studies and pilot projects, this work underscores the importance of a systems approach to achieving net-zero emissions in hard-to-abate sectors while fostering a sustainable energy transition.
