The global e-fuel market size is expected to reach USD 13,633.9 billion by 2050, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.., expanding at a CAGR of 19.0% over the forecast period 2023-2050. This market growth is owing to increasing demand for e-fuels such as e-kerosene, e-diesel, ethanol, e-methane, and others from various end-use industries such as aviation, automobiles, and others.
Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) act as an excellent alternatives to fossil jet fuels. SAFs are derived from sources such as biomass or power-to-liquid (PtL) methods, the latter of which produces e-kerosene. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has sanctioned seven SAF routes, including liquid FT fuels, allowing for blending of up to 50% with traditional kerosene (ASTM International, 2022a). The use of conventional turbines and the compatibility of onboard fuel and storage systems with e-kerosene can enhance its viability.
Furthermore, the demand for e-diesel is gaining significant momentum attributed to its capacity to cater to the energy requirements of both transportation and industrial sectors. E-diesel, a form of synthetic fuel derived from renewable sources, presents a versatile option that harmonizes with sustainability objectives. Additionally, the increasing emphasis on reducing carbon emissions within the transportation domain further propels the demand for e-diesel as a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative.
The industry players are adopting several strategies, including partnerships, expansions, mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, new product launches, and partnership agreements to increase the customer base and individual market share. For instance, in May 2023, HIG Global announced an expansion in its global footprint by launching a new facility producing e-fuel in the Texas market.
