note = "Funding Information: This work was supported by the College of Engineering ROCKET Seed Grant Program of Penn State University. Funding Information: Ortega et al. [] provide a comprehensive analysis of current research and innovation in low-emission alternative energies for transportation, excluding hydrogen, in relevant European Union (EU)-funded projects. They consider the most recent developments in the field, identifying valuable research technologies by fuel type and their development phase. The results show that liquefied natural gas (LNG) refueling stations, followed by biofuels for road transport and alternative aviation fuels are some of the most studied technologies with the highest investments. Methane-based fuels, e.g., CNG and LNG, have received the greatest attention concerning the number of projects and the level of funding. In contrast, only four ongoing projects are focused on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Alcohols, esters and ethers, and synthetic paraffinic and aromatic fuels (SPF) are moderately studied. Thus far, road transportation has the highest use of AFs in the transport sector. Despite the financial support from the EU, advances have yet to materialize, suggesting that EU transport decarbonization policies should not propose a radical or sudden change; therefore, transition periods are critical. It is also noteworthy that there is no silver bullet solution to decarbonization and thus the right use of the various AFs available will be key. ",
