The aim of this project is to expand knowledge of the current and future alternative fuels market, and in doing so steer the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) future energy storage technology roadmap. A growing market is developing for sustainable fuels, and as the need grows to find replacements for fossil based products, new processes and products are being developed. The objective of the project is therefore to align long-term future propulsion technologies with ideal energy supply pathways, and to provide intelligence required to identify and dismiss unsustainable or inefficient ones.Biofuel use is now widespread in both pure and dilute form, and the growth of this industry has demonstrated some of the pitfalls such as scalability, water use, and negative impact on the food chain. The goals for any potential future fuels are complex, and must satisfy multiple technical, economic, environmental and social criteria.This project will analyse current and future biological and synthetic processes, and evaluate the end candidates and their processes from perspectives of fundamental fuel quality, global warming potential and other standard recognised Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) categories, and thus a representation of the overall environmental responsibility. It will deliver a ranking of products and processes, with supporting subjective evaluation.The project will break down into the following objectives:- Develop a catalogue of fuels and processes, summarising key criteria for each.- Undertake streamlined attributional LCA on an agreed number of these fuels and processes.- Using the LCA data identify key feed-stocks and pathways that support sustainable future products.- Study the more promising processes or groups of processes identified during the previous phase, focusing on fuller LCA and end use scenarios.- Review a selection of processes and how geographical location on a national and international scale can affect overall sustainability performance and cost trade-off.- Create relevant data that can be used in various JLR models to predict the LCA impact of different worldwide bio, synthetic and conventional fuel use scenarios.- Undertake consequential LCA of the wider impact of the most promising options.- Understand the suitability of selected candidates for prescribed automotive end use scenarios such as Internal Combustion Engine, Turbine, Reformers and Fuel Cells use.

该项目的目的是扩大对当前和未来替代燃料市场的了解，并以此指导捷豹路虎(JLR)未来的储能技术路线图。可持续燃料的市场正在不断增长，随着寻找化石产品替代品的需求日益增长，新的工艺和产品也在开发。因此，该项目的目标是使长期的未来推进技术与理想的能源供应途径保持一致，并提供所需的情报，以识别和消除不可持续或低效的技术。生物燃料的使用现在以纯形式和稀释形式广泛使用，该行业的发展已经证明了一些陷阱，如可伸缩性、水的使用和对食物链的负面影响。任何潜在的未来燃料的目标是复杂的，必须满足多种技术、经济、环境和社会标准。该项目将分析当前和未来的生物和合成过程，并从基本燃料质量、全球变暖潜力和其他标准认可的生命周期评估(LCA)类别的角度评估最终候选及其过程，从而代表总体环境责任。它将提供产品和过程的排名，并提供辅助的主观评估。该项目将分解为以下目标：-制定燃料和过程的目录，总结每种燃料和过程的关键标准。-对这些燃料和过程中商定的数量进行简化的归属LCA。-使用LCA数据确定支持可持续未来产品的关键原料和途径。-研究前一阶段确定的更有前景的过程或过程组，专注于更全面的生命周期评价和最终使用方案。-审查一系列工艺选择以及国家和国际范围内的地理位置如何影响总体可持续性能和成本权衡。-创建可在各种捷豹路虎模型中使用的相关数据，以预测全球不同生物、合成和传统燃料使用方案的生命周期评价影响。-对最有希望的方案的更广泛影响进行相应的生命周期评价。-了解选定的候选方案是否适合于规定的汽车最终使用方案，如内燃机、涡轮、重整器和燃料电池的使用。
