Sustainability Analysis of Fuels Produced from Green Hydrogen and Biogenic Carbon - Socio-Economic Risks and Opportunities

Short Introductive summary

The global shift toward renewable energies to meet climate goals necessitates innovative approaches for hard-to-abate sectors like aviation, shipping, and industry. Green hydrogen-derived Power-to-Liquid fuels emerge as a solution, synthesized from CO2 and renewable hydrogen. However, the sustainability of these fuels relies on CO2 sources and electricity carbon intensity. Utilizing fossil CO2 hampers emission reductions, highlighting the importance of closed CO2 cycles. Direct Air Capture appears promising for long-term CO2 sourcing, while short-term reliance on biogenic residues and waste maintains closed cycles. However, potential socio-economic and environmental implications need mitigation to align with national hydrogen strategies aiming for socio-economic benefits. Therefore, this paper aims to uncover overlooked sustainability aspects of fuels produced from green hydrogen and biogenic carbon, identifying socio-economic opportunities and risks through a comprehensive framework based on planetary boundaries and Sustainable Development Goals.
