X3 X-FUELS: Zero CO2 Fuels for Special Application Use

Although the possibility of reducing the CO₂ impact of mobility vehicles using Low or Zero CO2 fuels is widely discussed, very little assured information and data about these fuels are available. In order to be prepared for the future in which certainly Zero CO₂ fuels will play a major role, a deep understanding of the possible fuel types, their properties and behaviour in engine applications has to be generated. Beside these facts possible production paths and an estimation of costs are of interest. As full-featured fuels which can be applied as substitute for fossil fuels within the fuel regulations are not likely to be introduced in the next years, the focus of the research lies on fuel blends with Zero CO₂ advanced fuel components.
