title = "Comprehensive Analysis of Electrofuels (E-Fuels) as Sustainable Fuels from Renewable Electricity: A Review",
abstract = "E-fuels are made from renewable power and collected carbon dioxide, have the potential to cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90\% compared to traditional fuels. This review article investigates alternative e-fuel production pathways, including Power-to-Fuel (PtF) technologies, and evaluates their chemical processes, carbon capture methods, and nitrogen extraction strategies. Key e-fuels such as e-methane, e-methanol, and e-ammonia are assessed for their manufacturing processes and possible applications. The review also looks at the life cycle impacts, production costs, and combustion properties of e-fuels. Scalability challenges, infrastructure development, and cost competitiveness have been cited as significant factors impacting mainstream adoption. The article discusses about successful integration of e-fuels in the global energy landscape is hinged on technological advancements, supportive regulatory frameworks and economic incentives. This review adds to an ongoing debate about sustainable energy options by offering some insights into the potential role that e-fuels could play in addressing climate change and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.",
