An Alternative Path to Decarbonization:
Latest Trends and Future Outlook for Carbon-Neutral Fuels in the Automotive Sector

With the recent slowdown in the global shift toward battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and the decline in demand, along with a series of revisions to BEV strategies by major automakers, increasing attention is being paid to carbon-neutral (CN) fuels. CN fuels are a realistic approach to decarbonization, as they can utilize existing technologies such as vehicle and fuel infrastructure, and they are also significant from the perspective of energy security.

This seminar will provide an overview of the latest trends and future outlook for CN fuels for automobiles.
