Well-to-Wheel Analysis of Liquid (Bio) Fuels and Additional Remarks on (Bio) Hydrogen
(0) Based on a study for North America the results of a well-to-wheel (WTW) study for Europe are presented. The aim and structure of a WTW-study is defined and explained: the examination for the chain of the fuel production as Well-to-Tank (WTT) and for the vehicle as Tank-to-Wheel (TTW) is described and boundary conditions explained.In total 36 pathways have been examined; feedstocks for different conventional and alternative fuels are natural gas and oil based as well as electricity and biomass. The vehicle drive comprises conventional and novel concepts based on internal combustion engines (ICE), fuel cells and hybrids.In an overall analysis the specific fuel consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are compared. Main results are: hybridization reduces fuel consumption; fuel cell propulsion systems show benefits compared to ICE concepts; biofuels offer reduced GHGs. Additional remarks on the production of biohydrogen are discussed.
