The growing awareness of the environmental challenges related to traditional energy sources has pushed research towards innovative solutions in the recent decades. The hypothetical discovery of a new environmentally friendly fuel could not only transform the global energy landscape, but also generate significant economic impacts.
The reduction in carbon emissions could lead to public health benefits, with a decrease in respiratory diseases related to air pollution, thus translating into lower health care costs with an increased economic productivity.
Demand for oil and gas could decline, affecting energy geopolitics and resource distribution. Nations rich in natural resources for the new fuel could become focal points in production and sales, affecting the global economic balance.
