Carbon-Neutral Fuels

In response to the essential managerial challenges related to decarbonization, many companies are adopting electrification and renewable energy. However, "hard-to-abate" sectors that face difficulties with electrification due to cruising range and weight restrictions must promote decarbonization through means other than electrification. Feasible recent approaches include sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), bioethanol, and biodiesel because markets for these fuels have formed and they have been socially implemented. However, as these fuels have become more popular, new challenges have emerged, such as material procurement issues and systematic bottlenecks.
This report provides an overview of carbon-neutral fuels that contribute to decarbonization in "hard-to-abate" sectors. It reveals companies' business strategies and market trends through interviews with major businesses. Additionally, it illustrates market structure, challenges, and market size forecasts for 2030 and 2040, helping readers optimize their business strategies.
