Synthetic Fuels & Future Engines: Exploration of Hydrogen, Biofuels, and Synthetic Gasoline as Decarbonization Pathways for Internal-Combustion Engines
In an era of rapid electrification, the internal-combustion engine is often dismissed as a relic. But behind the scenes, chemists, engineers, and policymakers have been writing a different story-one where liquid fuels are not the enemy, but part of the solution. Synthetic Fuels & Future Engines traces the extraordinary evolution of hydrogen combustion, advanced biofuels, and e-fuels from their obscure origins to their current roles in decarbonisation strategies. With global scope and rigorous factual grounding, the book ...

In an era of rapid electrification, the internal-combustion engine is often dismissed as a relic. But behind the scenes, chemists, engineers, and policymakers have been writing a different story-one where liquid fuels are not the enemy, but part of the solution. Synthetic Fuels & Future Engines traces the extraordinary evolution of hydrogen combustion, advanced biofuels, and e-fuels from their obscure origins to their current roles in decarbonisation strategies. With global scope and rigorous factual grounding, the book explores motorsport laboratories, biofuel plantations, aerospace certification trials, and the boardrooms where energy policy is born. Each chapter dives deep into the data: gigajoule-per-tonne balances, tailpipe-NOx figures, investment cost curves, and real-world infrastructure bottlenecks. Whether it's Porsche's synthetic-gasoline racetrack telemetry or Brazil's flex-fuel revolution, this narrative makes the numbers sing-offering engineers, students, and general readers alike a clear-eyed tour of combustion's low-carbon second act.
