However, e-fuels\u2019 versatility is counterbalanced by their fragile climate effectiveness, high costs and uncertain availability. E-fuel mitigation costs are \u20ac800\u20131,200 per tCO2. Large-scale deployment could reduce costs to \u20ac20\u2013270 per tCO2 until 2050, yet it is unlikely that e-fuels will become cheap and abundant early enough. Neglecting demand-side transformations threatens to lock in a fossil-fuel dependency if e-fuels fall short of expectations. Sensible climate policy supports e-fuel deployment while hedging against the risk of their unavailability at large scale. Policies should be guided by a \u2018merit order of end uses\u2019 that prioritizes hydrogen and e-fuels for sectors that are inaccessible to direct electrification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41558-021-01032-7.epdf?sharing_token=WNMrraktjyxydmZ37t5XrtRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0NvvcjgkZX46JlO7Nfw7zfyvoADBvTOq9WIfhdmgV2dg_Zm-ooRIvDUajySVOgslfK-wkOrhQeaskxdoHd9CQkDKrEyWaG7Nek-etV6-wjBn0LukVZpsV7ZIbuxiMdSO6Q%3D\">Read the full articole on the Journal Nature Climate Change<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Headline finding: Hydrogen is not recommended for use in cars and space heating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"kc_post_selected_socio_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[26],"tags":[87],"class_list":["post-34776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-from-the-world","tag-news-progetto-decarb-eerei"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
