3. E-fuels Companies - Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Saudi Arabia), Audi AG (Germany) and Siemens Energy (Germany) are Key Players

The global e-fuels market is projected to reach USD 49.4 billion by 2030 from an estimated USD 6.2 billion in 2023, at a CAGR of 34.5% during the forecast period. The e-fuels business is expanding as attempts to minimise carbon emissions in the transportation sector increase. E-fuels made from renewable energy have the potential to be a carbon-neutral mobility option, particularly in areas where electrification is difficult, such as aircraft and heavy industry. They serve as a link between current infrastructure and greener energy sources, making them a viable option for meeting decarbonization targets.

Due to their strong supply network, a few global and regional players hold a strong foothold in the e-fuels market. Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Saudi Arabia); Audi AG (Germany); Siemens Energy (Gemany); Chart Industries (US); Sunfire Gmbh (Germany); Mitsubishi Corporation (Japan); Repsol (Spain); and Norsk E-Fuel (Norway) are the market leaders in the global e-fuels market. These companies have adopted strategies such as partnerships, contracts, agreements, acquisitions, and expansions to increase their market share.
