Fuels Production Processes

Fuels Production Processes

Each fuel has specific sources and processes related to its transformation. The more marginal the sources and the more complex the processes, the higher the price and scarcity. A major challenge concerns the sustainability of the energy sources as well as the processes leading to the creation of fuels that can be used by transportation.
