Additionally, the coupling of decentralised fuel synthesis and centralised reforming allows a simplification of the CO2 handling, as CO2 is consumed in the localised (small-scale) emission points, while it is obtained back in a centralised location, where the processing of CO2 towards permanent storage should result simpler. From a systemic point of view, this study shows that the combination of cheap renewable electricity supply and appropriate sector coupling in the energy storage can allow the realisation of a global system that can deliver decarbonised fuels to the final users without excessively increasing the cost of the carburants. In fact, with the adequate system design, the average production cost of the locally produced electricity or H2 can be in the same range as the current carbon-intensive gasoline supply chain.
