Renewable fuels are gases, liquids, and solids that can be synthesized from renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and biomass. As a form of high-density energy storage and carrier, these fuels can often be a drop-in replacement or a blending component for fossil derived alternatives. In this form, renewable fuels can utilize the already built infrastructure and help decarbonize difficult-to-electrify segments of the built environment and yield immediate environmental benefits. This seminar will review cases studies and ongoing research on the applications of renewable fuels.
