"Assessing a global system for supplying Power-to-Liquid fuels to the aviation sector" by Falter, Christoph, James Abel, Haofeng Xu, Stewart Isaacs, Dun Tan, Nico Gomez-Vega, Steven Barrett and Florian Allroggen Abstract A shift of aviation’s energy supply to low-carbon fuels is a major component of the sector’s decarbonization strategy. This paper analyzes the supply chain for Power-to-Liquid (PtL) Fuels to meet aviation fuel demand at all global airports. In particular, it identifies production locations for PtL fuels and renewable electricity to supply airports with PtL fuel at the lowest possible unit costs. We find that around 7,700 TWh of electricity would be needed to cover all of commercial aviation in 2019 with PtL. With significant technological progress in PtL technology but market growth, this number could increase to 15,600 TWh of electricity by 2050. The latter is equivalent to about a quarter of the projected electricity production from renewable sources under IEA’s Net Zero Emissions Scenario for 2050 (IEA, 2022). With advanced development of PtL technology, the costs of PtL would be 2.8 times higher than the average 2021 price of jet fuel. At the same time, the life cycle GHG emissions of PtL would be 87–93% lower as compared to conventional petroleum-derived jet fuel. |
