5. Low-carbon fuels
In the search for low-carbon fuels, priority is given to those available on the market at affordable prices. These include low-carbon hydrocarbons such as methanol, ethanol, ethane and, to a lesser extent, liquefied petroleum gas, which is a mixture of butane and propane. These conventional petroleum-based fuels could in future be produced synthetically from green hydrogen, recycled carbon and biomass, making them more easily handled green fuels or biofuels than synthetic natural gas which, like LNG, requires cooling to -164°C, or liquid hydrogen at -253°C.
5.1 Natural gas
Natural gas is a fossil fuel that should play an important role in resolving the low-carbon issue over the next few decades, due to its abundance, while at the same time paying close attention...
