Baseline (No Carbon Pricing)
Structurally conservative: continuation of historic consumer preferences for conventional combustion engine cars.
No policies to promote alternative vehicles
Slow build-up of electric recharging stations

Hydrogen Hype
Carbon pricing
Fast build-up of hydrogen refuelling stations
Rebates-feebates scheme: FCEVs receive 5000€ subsidies for purchases in 2020, around 3300€ in 2025 and 1700€ in 2030. 1000€ mark-up cost on internal combustion engines are applied in 2020, 700€ in 2025 and 300€ in 2030
Increasing dis-preference for internal combustion engines due to tightening regulation
Policy push for FCEVs: Support policies induce a shift from dis-preference to preference of hydrogen vehicles, e.g. incentives to carmakers and car retailers to provide hidrogen vehicles
Hydrogen from electricity is at least 95% of the total hydrogen, with electricity from renewable resources reaching around 90% of the electricity production in 2050

Synfuel Surge
Carbon pricing
Structurally conservative: continuation of historic consumer preferences for conventional combustion engine cars
Synfuels are forced in the liquids mix blending mandates reaching 20% of liquids fuels in transportation by 2035
Hydrogen from electricity is at least 95% of the total hydrogen, with electricity from renewable resources reaching around 90% of the electricity production in 2050
CO2 emissions from other sources (e.g., industrial installations) are captured and reused to produce syntethic fuels (Carbon Capture and Utilization)
