Strategic Intelligence: Alternative Fuels in Energy Transition

Summary

Alternative fuels are becoming central to the energy transition as governments, companies, and end users seek lower-carbon options to petroleum fuels. The analyst defines alternative fuels as transport fuels that do not originate from crude oil. This report focuses on fuels with lower emission footprints such as biofuels, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), e-fuels, low-carbon hydrogen, and its derivatives. These fuels have the potential to reduce lifecycle emissions across road, aviation, and marine transport.

Scope

  • The oil and gas industry’s energy transition must incorporate transition fuels/low-carbon fuels within their portfolios to reduce their carbon footprint.
​- This includes the use of biofuels, renewable fuels and other low carbon fuels either directly or through blending with petroleum fuels to help decarbonize the transportation sector.
  • This report highlights the growing exposure of oil and gas companies in the alternative fuels space.
  • It analyses the alternative fuels value chain and identifies the key oil and gas players across the its different levels.

Reasons to Buy

  • To understand the purview of alternative fuels theme within the analyst’s Energy Transition Framework.
  • Understand the alternative fuels value chain and the key players in it.
  • Identify and benchmark key oil and gas companies; and EPC and services companies based on their competitive positioning in the alternative fuels theme.
