Abstract
El calentamiento global es causado principalmente por la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero, generados por el uso de combustibles fósiles, por lo que se buscan nuevas vías energéticas para mitigar estos efectos. La producción de E-fuels, a partir de hidrógeno verde y carbono capturado desde la atmosfera, puede ser una buena alternativa, ya que puede reemplazar los combustibles fósiles, pero con emisiones de carbono neutrales.
En este estudio, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica con el objetivo de analizar el estado y avance de las tecnologías necesarias para la producción de E-fuels en los últimos 10 años. Además, se identifican los principales desafíos y limitaciones para su implementación. Uno de los principales hallazgos es que aún no se alcanza la madurez tecnológica suficiente para su implementación. Sin embargo, se estima que, en 2050 estas tecnologías alcanzarán la madurez necesaria para lograr viabilidad económica, centrándose su implementación en sectores específicos como el transporte pesado, por lo que Chile debería apuntar a jugar el papel de productor y exportador debido a su potencial para la generación de energía renovable.
The climate change, due to anthropogenic activities, has brought environmental consequences, mainly due to the global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions, the mainly responsible being the global energetic dependence in fossil fuels, therefore, new energy avenues are being sought to mitigate these effects. The E-fuels productions from green hydrogen and carbon captures from the atmosphere can be a good alternative, this due to its carbon-neutral emissions. In this study, a bibliographic review was carried out with the objective of seeing the state and development of the technologies necessary for E-fuels production in the last 10 years. Additionally, the study seeks to identify key challenges and limitations for its implementation. As a result, it was found that the technology maturity for its widespread implementation has not been achieved yet. However, projections suggest that by 2050 these technologies will reach the maturity for economic viability, with a focus on specific sector such as heavy transportation. With Chile envisioned to play a crucial role as productor and exporter, given to its potential for renewable energy generation.
