Current and future cost of e-kerosene in the United States and Europe
Analyzes the potential of e-kerosene for decarbonizing the aviation sector, and finds that while expensive, the cost of e-kerosene will decline over time, and if subsidized, could become a viable sustainable aviation fuel.
Cost of renewable hydrogen produced onsite at hydrogen refueling stations in Europe
Analyzes the cost of hydrogen produced at decentralized hydrogen recharge stations and finds the cost to be above the European Commission’s 2030 target price for hydrogen, but manageable if the fuel is subsidized
