Electro fuels or e-fuels are produced by using renewable electricity. They are an emerging class of carbon-neutral drop-in fuels for the transport sector. E-fuels family is large and covers both gaseous and liquid fuels such as hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), methanol (CH3OH), DME (CH3-O-CH3), ammonia (NH3), synthetic petrol, diesel etc. These E-fuels powered vehicles are superior to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. E-fuels can be delivered from existing fuel outlets without significant modifications, which is not the case for BEVs. Developing infrastructure for charging the BEVs requires huge investments; therefore, policymakers of the European Union (EU) have shown interest in the large-scale implementation of the E-fuels. Also, a significant advantage of E-fuels is their energy efficiency. The electricity used to power the battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and Hydrogen fuel cells is ~4–6 times and two times higher, respectively than the e-fuels used to power the internal combustion engines (ICEs). This book covers several ways to use these E-fuels in existing engines and their effects on tailpipe emissions. Calibration and optimisation procedures for the adaptation of these fuels are covered in this book. Also, the economics of these fuels is covered.
