Abstract

Because of their easy and widespread distribution and safe handling, liquid fuels are used in everyday life, to power vehicles, aircrafts, ships, etc. The use of fuels from conventional fossil sources is now called for a more sustainable alternative. Hence, chemical energy storage of electricity generated by renewable sources into synthetic fuels represents an interesting solution, solving also other typical problems with renewables, such as grid stabilization.
