Abstract

The escalating climate crisis has prompted stringent regulations to curb emissions. However, many solutions are insufficient and face challenges in certain sectors. Biofuels offer partial relief, yet sustainable biomass availability is limited. Power-to-liquids (PtL) technologies provide a means to produce renewable drop-in fuels independently of biomass constraints. Increased R&D and commercial activity necessitate a standardized method for evaluating PtL technologies. This study introduces a 3E performance criteria framework for PtL technologies, employing the Analytical Hierarchy Process to establish a weighed evaluation system. Initial findings revealed a notable bias towards specific indicators, highlighting the need for further indicator inclusion under economic and environmental criteria for a balanced assessment. The framework's future validation involves PtL technology assessment through spreadsheet modelling. Enhancements may include additional indicators and sensitivity analysis to bolster route ranking robustness.
