Market Insights
“The E-fuels market size was valued at US$ 6.4 billion in 2024 and is likely to grow at a strong CAGR of 31.0% in the long run to reach US$ 47.7 billion in 2031.”
Market Dynamics
Introduction
E-fuels offer an effective solution to decarbonize liquid fuel-based industries by combining hydrogen from renewable sources with captured carbon dioxide. This development enables the production of energy-efficient fuels that can be used with existing technologies while working towards a carbon-neutral future.
A range of factors is propelling the uptake of e-fuels.
- New regulations that limit greenhouse gas emissions are prompting sectors to seek more sustainable sources of fuel.
- Aviation and shipping industries are particularly challenging to decarbonize, and e-fuels provide an environmentally friendly solution to reduce emissions.
- Advances in renewable energy and carbon capture technologies are making it more cost-effective and practical to mass-produce e-fuels.
Recent Market JVs and Acquisitions:
A considerable number of strategic alliances, including M&As, JVs, etc., have been performed over the past few years:
- In 2023, Saudi Aramco and Stellantis partnered to test e-fuel compatibility with European engines using surrogate e-fuels under existing standards, aiming to support low-carbon mobility. In March, Uniper became the second-largest investor in Sweden’s Liquid Wind, supporting its first eMethanol plant for carbon-neutral shipping in Örnsköldsvik.
- In 2023, Siemens Energy partnered with Liquid Wind to develop eMethanol facilities aimed at cutting shipping emissions, offering investment, technology, and expertise. In April 2022, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries extended its partnership with California-based Infinium to explore introducing its electrofuels technology to the Japanese market.
