Future Fuels in the Energy Ecosystem

Getting full insight into the future fuel landscape

Understand the present and future energy landscape to take the best decisions for your energy mix.

Future Fuels

Imagine the vehicle in 2050: do you expect the tank being filled with e-fuel, hydrogen, or electrons? All these options provide zero CO2 pathways and building on today’s knowledge and depending on the scenario, all of them can be available at similar cost and quantity.

With AVL Future Fuels consulting we help you make sense of this rapidly changing landscape and to make your reasonable choices. We support you with our comprehensive knowledge in all energy pathways and latest regulatory development.

The automotive industry is undergoing the biggest transformation in its history. Adaptations in emission legislation to tackle climate change, combined with market demands and fuel market volatility are driving both innovation and uncertainty.

Key Questions arise:

  • Which energy sources will be available in future?
  • What is the best roadmap to update your portfolio?
  • What is the optimal technology mix for global and local products
  • What will be the impact of your energy-related emissions on your customer’s perception?
  • What kind of investment will you need to take in your infrastructure, and in which areas?
