Clinical Scorecard: Analytical Science’s Increasingly Crucial Role in the Energy Transition

At a Glance

Key Highlights

• Emerging feedstocks include bio-oils, plastic pyrolysis oils, and e-fuels with diverse compositions and compounds.
• Established analytical tools and assumptions may be insufficient for unfamiliar, variable materials.
• Laboratories contribute through reliable measurement, method development, R&D collaboration, and participation in standardization.
• GC×GC, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and multidimensional workflows are used to investigate molecular complexity.
