Yes. The cool thing about efuel is that it replaces the need for both battery electric vehicles and grid storage which are incredibly expensive too. People try to compare efuel to battery electric vehicles alone but that’s not accurate.
- Almondsetat 3y agoWhich efuel? Surely not hydrogen since its risk of exolosion is terrifying
- pfdietz 3y agoAmmonia is talked about as a fuel for ocean going ships. It's derived from hydrogen.
- goodSteveramos 3y agoI think efuel refers only to synthetic hydrocarbons like gasoline not hydrogen gas or ammonia.
- pfdietz 3y agoNo.
- goodSteveramos 3y agoFrom Wikipedia: Electrofuels, also known as e-fuels, a class of synthetic fuels, are a type of drop-in replacement fuel. So no, neither Hydrogen gas nor amonia are drop-in replacements for gasoline or diesel fuel.
- pfdietz 3y agoIt doesn't say what they're a replacement for in that definition. In this review article, hydrogen and ammonia are classed as e-fuels. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9837910 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9837910 > Another example is transforming electricity into e-fuels (like hydrogen) > hydrogen can be further converted to synthetic electricity-based fuels (e-fuels) as chemically bound RE and such as e-methane [27], [28], Fischer-Tropsch fuels [29], [30], e-ammonia [31], [32], and e-methanol [33], [34]. (that last paragraph doesn't say hydrogen is not an e-fuel, it says it's not a "synthetic" e-fuel, as hydrogen is as feedstock for synthesis here.)
