  - Formulating energy policies at national, European, and global levels is extremely
    challenging. The move away from fossil fuels is associated with a variety of technological,
    economic, and social implications, each of which is subject to dynamic changes
    and societal scrutiny and can hardly be predicted with certainty. Therefore, a
    fact-based assessment for the path to a sustainable green energy future is sought
    out in this paper, using the road-based mobility sector of the Federal Republic
    of Germany as an example. The analysis performed in this paper is built on publicly
    accessible, reputable sources like DESTATIS and EUROSTAT. In addition, some very
    simple calculations were made, e.g., on the potential for wind and photovoltaic
    energy within Germany. Such an analysis needs to start with the overall energy
    consumption of any one country. A basic assumption of the paper is that the energy
    system of the future will be based to a large extent on electricity and its storage
    in chemical energy. It is assumed that, in addition to hydrogen, liquid energy
    sources will play a significant role due to the simplicity of their logistics
    and the subsequent implications on cost. Examples of green, electricity-based
    fuels with great potential are methanol, methane, and ammonia. Additionally, biomass
    plays an important role, either for direct use as a fuel or as a source of non-fossil
    carbon. Today, biofuels, i.e., biodiesel and bioethanol, deliver the largest contribution
    to climate protection in the EU transport sector. The main goal—the reduction
    of greenhouse gas emissions—often collides with geopolitical circumstances or
    national political necessities. This includes, for example, the current world
    market situation and its national impacts caused by the Russian attack on Ukraine.
    The prospect for a green, sustainable, and defossilized energy supply are discussed
    in this context. The paper concludes that a defossilized world energy supply and
    trade based on renewable electricity and its derivatives, eHydrogen and refuels,
    and on biomass, is feasible.@eng
