Abstract

As efforts toward carbon neutrality progress, reducing and decarbonizing the transportation sector, which is said to account for 20% to 30% of Japan’s CO2 emissions, is an important issue. Electricity and hydrogen are becoming increasingly popular in fields such as automobiles and trucks, and decarbonization is expected to accele­rate through carbon-neutral fuels. On the other hand, in order to achieve carbon neutrality in the aviation and maritime sectors, it is difficult to replace liquid fuels, and efforts including technological development are required. There are three main carbon-neutral liquid fuels: petroleum-based fuels with decarbonization measures (carbon offsets), biofuels made from biomass resources, and synthetic fuels made from CO2-free hydrogen and CO2 that meets certain requirements. Here, we will discuss the background, trends, and challenges toward carbon neutralization of energy and fuel, using initiatives in the transportation field as an example.
