🌱 WE NEED BOTH ✌🏼: 🎯 For defossilization and decarbonization in traffic and transport, both options should be used depending on infrastructure, economy & application. 📊📈 🌱 E-Fuels 🌱 E-Lectric 🎯 Towards complete electrification, sensible, environmentally and people-friendly alternatives are needed. ♻️♥️ ✅ Thanks for sharing #PorscheConsulting & #DrLukasMauler

Just came across this fascinating project by Porsche—a 5 MW energy storage system using repurposed vehicle batteries. 🚗🔋 This is a brilliant example of how the automotive industry is embracing circular economy principles, transforming what could have been waste into a valuable energy resource. 🌍 Years ago, when I first started in the PV sector, energy storage solutions were more of a niche topic. Fast forward to today, and it's incredible to see how far we've come. Seeing initiatives like this, where innovation meets sustainability, reminds me why I’m passionate about this field. 💡 #BESS #EnergyStorage #CircularEconomy #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability

eFuels are expected to become a key enabler for the decarbonization of multiple industries.   Multiple projects have started production in recent years, and significant global upscaling has been announced for this decade. What eFuel volumes can be expected? Which eFuel types are being produced? Which companies are involved? What challenges arise in the build-up of this new industry? Dr. Lukas Mauler, Associate Partner at Porsche Consulting, has answered these questions in a keynote at the Aachen Colloquium for sustainable mobility:   ➡️ eFuels to become a billion-dollar industry So far, the industry has announced that eFuel production will exceed the equivalent of 10 billion liters gasoline by 2030, generating > 20 billion dollars of annual revenues. Enough to supply >1,500 commercial aircraft or >10 million passenger cars.   ➡️ eFuels as lever to meet climate targets The European Union has the ambition to reduce CO2 emissions by 90% by 2040 and to become climate neutral by 2050. eFuels can reduce carbon emissions by more than 70% compared with fossil fuels and thus contribute to meeting climate targets.   ➡️ eFuels are essential for all mobility sectors eFuels are key to decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as maritime transportation and aviation, where battery powertrains are too heavy, too expensive, or charging takes too much time. In addition, eFuels can help to reduce carbon emissions from existing car and truck fleets.   ➡️ eFuels can become cost competitive High production costs have been discussed as a key challenge for the competitiveness of eFuels. Based on our cost model, production costs can be reduced significantly by increased production scale, optimized location selection, and the use of advanced production technology.   #EFuels #Decarbonization #SustainableMobility #Mobility #CleanFuels
