Scottish ambitions
• Cut CO2 emissions from electricity generation by 80% by 2030
• Up to 10 GW of capacity in Scottish waters in next decade

Scenario: Assuming 16 GW wind energy installed by 2030
Graph based on real wind data from across Scotland in 2007 scaled upto 16GW
Air Fuel Synthesis The picture for AFS fuel in 2030
Using all surplus electricity:• With 8 GW of Hydrogen electrolyser• Operating at 21% load factor• Enough energy for 1,300 tonnes per day fuel• 473,000 tonnes of carbon neutral fuel per year
• Note that is 16% by weight of all Scottish transport fuel.
• Could use “stranded” electricity.

Air Fuel Synthesis
A good deal for Scotland
And there are other advantages too…
• Unlocks the hydrogen economy• Pioneering “cleantech” energy technology• World-class research, design, supply chain and
production jobs• Energy sustainability, resilience and
continuing use of existing vehicles and infrastructure
• … just for starters…www.afsfuels.com 14

Summary
The AFS concept presents clear strategic opportunities for Scotland > doable now.
• Energy management• Research leadership potential• Supply chain development, jobs and
investment
AFS already has a commercial route to fuel from air, starting with point source CO2.
The concept is proven but needs partners to scale up and continue research and development
