1. Fuels in current transport - road, rail, sea and air transport 2. Raw materials and energy for the production of alternative fuels - carbohydrates, fatty acids and their esters, waste plastics and tyres, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water and electricity 3. Alternative fuel production technologies - modifications of proven technologies (thermal processes, catalytic cracking, hydrotreating and hydrocracking, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, methanol and ammonia synthesis, fermentation and transesterification) 4. New technologies for the production of alternative fuels (methanol-to-gasoline (MTG), hydrotreating, supercritical liquefaction, fluidized, ebullated and expanded catalyst technologies) 5. The concept of an alternative fuels platform in general, according to the IEA, linking feedstock, technology and the resulting alternative fuels 6. Platform - hydrogen and synthesis gas, methanol and ammonia 7. Platform - natural gas biogas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) 8. Platform - biethanol and bioalcohols 9. Platform - bio-oils, fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), hydrotreated vegetable oils (HVO) and hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) 10. Platform - new products (selected sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), dimethyl ether (DME), etc.) 11. Critical negative environmental impacts of transport 12. Measurement of pollutant emissions from transport and modern trends in reducing these emissions 13. Modern trends in motor vehicle propulsion - electric motors, fuel cells, new combustion engine designs, turbines 14. EU Transport Strategy 2050 - critical starting points, activities and documents Last update: Šimáček Pavel (18.03.2024)
