Electricity, hydrogen and biofuels main options in EU Future Transport Fuels Report
Alternative fuels have the potential to gradually replace fossil energy sources and make transport sustainable by 2050, according to a report presented to the European Commission on January 25, 2011 by the stakeholder expert group on future transport fuels in which the EHA participated. The role of the use of hydrogen in fuel cell vehicles, including buses, in decarbonizing EU transport by 2050  is included.  The EU will need an oil-free and largely CO2-free energy supply for transport by 2050 due to the need to reduce its impact on the environment and concerns about the security of energy supply. The expert group has for the first time developed a comprehensive approach covering the whole transport sector. Expected demand from all transport modes could be met through a combination of electricity (batteries or hydrogen/fuel cells) and biofuels as main options, synthetic fuels (increasingly from renewable resources) as a bridging option, methane (natural gas and biomethane) as complementary fuel, and LPG as supplement.
