Ramp-Up of the production of alternative fuels for a reduction of CO2-emissions

The reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the transport sector and additionally of non-CO2 climate effects within the air transport sector is cru-cial to reduce global warming. In ground transport, alternative power train con-cepts are strongly increasing their market share; however, the majority of vehicles and new registrations is powered by internal combustion engines. Within the air transport sector, disruptive propulsion technologies are promising for selected applications on short range with low payload. However, long-haul air transport, which is the main contributor to the GHG emissions in the air transport sector, will rely on liquid hydrocarbon fuels for the foreseeable future, as other energy carriers lack the necessary energy density. Thus, alternative fuels are a key factor for reaching the climate goals for the transport sector.
