Severe reductions in the greenhouse gas intensity of aviation fuels are required to get a growing aviation sector on a flightpath compliant with the Paris Climate Agreement. Introducing renewable energy into aviation is challenging. The power‐to‐liquid (PtL) pathway uses renewable electricity, CO2, and water to synthesize a sustainable alternative fuel that chemically resembles conventional jet fuel. The state‐of‐art of key technologies for PtL fuel production as well as the environmental and techno‐economic performance of the resulting fuel in comparison with fossil and biomass‐derived jet fuel are reviewed.

Sustainably produced biofuels, especially when they are derived from lignocellulosic biomass, are being discussed intensively for future ground transportation. Traditionally, research activities focus on the synthesis process, while leaving their combustion properties to be evaluated by a different community. This Review adopts an integrative view of engine combustion and fuel synthesis, focusing on chemical aspects as the common denominator. It will be demonstrated that a fundamental understanding of the combustion process can be instrumental to derive design criteria for the molecular structure of fuel candidates, which can then be targets for the analysis of synthetic pathways and the development of catalytic production routes. With such an integrative approach to fuel design, it will be possible to improve systematically the entire system, spanning biomass feedstock, conversion process, fuel, engine, and pollutants with a view to improve the carbon footprint, increase efficiency, and reduce emissions.
