Abstract:

The objective of this study is to estimate the costs associated with importing synthetic fuels up to 2050. This study provides an important contribution to the current debate about decarbonisation strategies in the heating and transport sectors. For a comprehensive economic assessment of the various decarbonisation strategies being considered, additional analysis is necessary, e.g. to compare the costs of synthetic fuels with the costs of different electrification options.A further aim of this study is to encourage discussion about how to make synthetic fuel production sustainable and which measures are mostly likely to achieve it
