Resumo(s)
The main driving forces of the development of alternative energy are growing energy demand combined
with the search for energy independence and environmental issues, such as global warming. Throughout
this chapter, the sustainability of the currently most used alternative fuels, their characteristics, applica-
tions, global consumption, and demand data will be discussed. The different strategies and policies for
the adoption of renewable energies also will be discussed. Fuels are compared by their contributions
to the development of the circularity of the energy sector, by the feedstock and process efficiency. The
advantages, disadvantages, and barriers that each one presents are evaluated to better understand which
are the most promising and how their production and consumption can be increased. The aim of this
chapter is to present the potential alternative fuels within their applications and analyze their contribu-
tion to make the energy sector more circular and sustainable.
