Regarding the reduction of CO2 emissions from the transport sector, the public debate and legislative bodies are currently focusing almost exclusively on the widespread use of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). However, it is expected that by 2030 the vast majority of the vehicle fleet stock and even by 2050, about 50% of the passenger car stock will still be powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE). Relying only on replacing the vehicle stock with BEVs will not be enough to achieve the climate targets fast enough. It is therefore an absolute must to also bring CO2-neutral fuels to the market that reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of the existing fleet with internal combustion engines. For this reason, more than 30 partners from academia and industry have joined forces across several industrial sectors in the publicly funded project “Closed Carbon Cycle Mobility” (C3-Mobility) to investigate the production and application of different synthetic fuels based on methanol from renewable sources. C3-Mobility has been funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action under the grant number 19I18006.
