The study involved major activities in estimating the current size of the e-fuels market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the peer and parent markets. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the total market size. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
This research study on the e-fuel market involved the use of extensive secondary sources, directories, and databases, such as Hoover’s, Bloomberg, Factiva, IRENA, International Energy Agency, and Statista Industry Journal, to collect and identify information useful for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the market. The other secondary sources included annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, articles by recognized authors, manufacturer associations, trade directories, and databases.
Primary Research
The e-fuels market comprises several raw material supplier technology and EPC providers, e-fuels suppliers, and the end use applications in the supply chain. The demand side of this market is characterized by the rising demand for types of e-fuels such as e-methane, e-methanol, e-ammonia, e-diesel, e-kerosene and e-gasoline. The supply side is characterized by rising demand for contracts from the industrial sector and mergers & acquisitions among big players. Various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides of the market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. Following is the breakdown of primary respondents:

Along with this, the market has been validated using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches.
Market Definition
Renewable or low-carbon liquid or gaseous fuels, known as e-fuels or electrofuels, are produced by combining renewable electricity, often sourced from wind or solar power, with carbon dioxide (CO2). This process creates synthetic hydrocarbon-based fuels, such as e-diesel or e-kerosene, that are intended to replace conventional fossil fuels. E-fuels are particularly useful for aviation and heavy industries, where direct electrification is difficult. However, producing e-fuels requires a significant input of renewable energy and faces challenges in terms of cost and scalability. Despite these challenges, e-fuels can play a crucial role in achieving a sustainable and carbon-neutral energy landscape, helping to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The market for e-fuels is the sum of revenues generated by global companies through the sales of e-fuels.
