Alternative fuels

Power to X.

In the future, the use of alternative fuels will be fundamental to drive, propulsion and energy systems that are ecologically sound. In particular, synthetic fuels (Power-to-X, E-fuels) made using renewable resources hold great potential for increasing the carbon-neutrality of mobile drive and propulsion systems and stationary power generation. The additional benefit: Surplus energy from renewable sources is stored as fuel.

These fuels include drop-in fuels such as E-gas and E-diesel, which can already be used to power existing fleets, as well as the new E-methanol and E-hydrogen fuels. To leverage their potential, fuel manufacture based on renewable energies must be significantly improved and drive, propulsion and energy systems re-built to take up alternative fuels.
