Threats - "E-fuel contribution Sample Clauses

Threats - "E-fuel contribution scenario Large scale chemical storage of electricity (i.e. power-to-hydrogen) largely depends on the technology readiness levels (TRL) of those technologies that currently remain at a demonstration stage. There is high uncertainty as regards the learning potential of the power-to-e-fuel conversion pathways. Substantial R&D sources need to focus on decreasing the associated capital costs of these conversion processes. In this respect, the evolution of the future prices of the e-fuels are uncertain as they largely depend on the future electricity prices and the capital costs of the conversion processes. On the other hand, the uncertainty regarding the developments of the battery and fuel cell technologies seem to be smaller, as the industry is continuously delivering more affordable advanced vehicles to the market every year. The “E-fuel contribution” scenario does not require a technology breakthrough in the battery electric vehicles (battery costs will continue to go down). However, the scenario envisages that multiple technologies will need to be successfully developed by 2050, meaning that high R&D sources will need to be split over various technologies. Potential stresses on financial resources are expected which in turn may negatively affect the commercialisation and achieving economies of scales of certain technologies (e.g. the development of the hydrogen fuel cell cars costs which depend on the cumulative sales of fuel cell stacks and systems). Table 22: SWOT analysis of the "E-fuel contribution" scenario Strengths Weaknesses  Continued use of available mature vehicle technologies  Use of available refuelling infrastructure  Reduction in CO2 emissions  No impacts on passenger mobility habits  No impacts on freight transport & logistics  Balanced diversification of energy sources in transport  Limited competition for land use with other sectors  Remaining air pollutant emissions  Remaining noise levels due to ICE  High demand for electricity (due to relatively inefficient transformation process)  Possible stresses in RES potentials, due to the vast amounts of electricity required Opportunities Threats  Increased synergies with power generation (e-fuels serve as storage of excess variable RES production)  Social equity (more affordable ICE vehicles, especially for low-income households)  High R&D sources split over multiple technologies (in particular for e-fuels conversion pathways; less for batteries and fuel cells)  Expected high e-f...
