Synthetic fuels: the path to sustainable development

Abstract

Synthetic fuels, or “synfuels,” are not new. Their story began over a century ago with the Fischer-Tropsch process, developed in Germany to convert carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid fuels. Synthetic fuels are more than a technical marvel; they are a testament to human ingenuity. They offer a way to preserve our way of life while protecting the planet. The question is not if we can transition to sustainable energy, but how fast.
