Accompanying Research of the funding initiative "Energy transformation in transport" ("Energiewende im Verkehr")
The accompanying research project BEniVer carries out in-depth analysis of the development of synthetic fuels. The aim is to connect the funding initiative’s 15 technical research projects involving over 100 research groups and industry partners, identify potential synergies and ensure the comparability of the research results.
The BEniVer project focuses on interdisciplinary analyses of technical, environmental, economic and social effects. The Institute of Networked Energy Systems is participating in an accompanying research initiative focused on the environmental evaluation of synthetic fuels (e-fuels). This includes investigating the environmental impacts of engines using specific e-fuels as compared to conventional engines. This is an important factor for the environmental and economic assessments of various fuels. The Institute of Networked Energy Systems’ contribution is a system-analytic examination in the form of life cycle assessments of the “fuel use”.
