Straipsnyje apžvelgiamas e – degalų potencialas, kuris tapo ypač aktualus po pastarojo mėnesio įvykių Europos Sąjungoje, kai Vokietija pasipriešino įstatymo priėmimui, jog nuo 2035 metų būtų uždraustos gaminti transporto priemonės su vidaus degimo varikliais ir kaip alternatyvą pasiūlė e – degalų naudojimo galimybę. Straipsnyje gilinamasi į e – degalų ekologiškumą tarp skirtingų e – degalų ir iškastinio kuro rūšių. Įvardijami e – degalų technologiniai pranašumai ir pateikiamos alternatyvos jų gamybai, kai susiduriama su infrastruktūros trūkumais. Analizuojama e – degalų potenciali kaina ir pateikiama jos kitimo prognozė.
The article reviews the potential of e – fuels, which became especially relevant after the events of the last month in European Union, when Germany contest the adoption of the law proposed by the European Commission to ban the production of vehicles with internal combustion engines from 2030 and offered the possibility of using e – fuels as an alternative. By establishing the potential of e – fuels by law, the rapid development of this technology can be achieved. The article delves into the eco – fiendliness of e – fuels among different types of e – fuels and fossil fuels. After analyzing the data, it can be said that e – fuels are the solution to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gases and achieve complete climate neutrality. The technological advantage compared to other types of fuels creates the conditions for e – fuels to become the dominant type of fuel. Existing infrastructure is suitable for e – fuels operations, there is no need to create additional elements to adapt the current infrastructure. E – fuels suitability for vehicles with internal combustion engines would allow even old vehicles to be operated without negative impact on the climate. E – fuels production can be easily adapted when there is a high demand for e – fuels, but insufficient infrastructure for production, e – fuels or its necessary components can be produce and then exported from countries with the necessary infrastructure resources. Using today‘s technology, the production cost of e – fuels is high, and this is mainly influenced by the cost of electricity and air capture technology. However, with strong political will and large – scale financing, e – fuels technologies are predicted to advance rapidly, leading to lower production costs in the future. With an attractive price e – fuels is expected to become the dominant type of fuel and help achieve the goals of the green course.
