abstract = {In the search for sustainable transport solutions, fuel
production from renewable resources has received significant
attention. Some proposed synthetic fuels have favorable
combustion properties compared to existing fuels, e.g.,
significant reductions in pollutant formation. However,
penetration of such fuels requires a favorable social
acceptance, as demonstrated by the consumer boycott of the
ethanol-blend fuel with $10\%$ ethanol and $90\%$ gasoline
(E10) in Germany. Therefore, the consumer perspective and
their preferences regarding alternative fuels should be
considered in the fuel design. We use conjoint methodology
to analyze the preferences of German car drivers for
alternative fuels. This aims at understanding which criteria
determine consumer preferences and usage decisions. Among
the five considered fuel attributes (fuel availability,
driving range, pollutant emissions, fuel costs, and usage
requirements to enable the use of alternative fuels), fuel
costs had the highest decision impact for alternative fuel
preferences, followed by fuel availability and usage
requirements. Pollutant emissions had the lowest impact on
alternative fuel choices. A market simulation of
conventional diesel and alternative fuels (dimethyl ether
(DME) and a blend of diesel with oxymethylene dimethyl
ethers (OME)) revealed that currently a large majority of
car drivers would prefer conventional fossil fuel options,
indicating a currently low consumer demand for alternative
fuels. Thus, the findings demonstrate the importance of
integrating social acceptance as an objective function in
the design of novel fuels and production processes.},
