Study reveals synthetic fuels will reach mass market viability in next 5-10 years
Some of the alternative fuels available today can already help significantly reduce emissions with minor or no modifications to engines and infrastructures.
While physical logistics networks remain indispensable, electrification in local transport is already making an important contribution to the achievement of the energy turnaround today. However, commercial use of electric drive on long-haul and heavy-duty routes is not yet feasible. This is where sustainable fuels play a crucial role and could be pivotal in reducing the climate impact of transport emissions.
Deutsche Post DHL Group, Germany, released the “Sustainable Fuels for Logistics” study, which presents the current status of trends and developments in the sector, compares and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of the respective drives and shares experiences from practical application. In addition, experts from science, associations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) provide insights into the possible uses and current limitations of sustainable fuels.
