With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

There are basically two types of aircraft categorized by what they carry: passenger aircraft and cargo aircraft. The former has much more stringent certification rules, so the latter may reach production more rapidly. When it comes to vehicles, I mostly tend to focus on electric vehicles (EVs), because (1) they emit little or no greenhouse gases (GHG) and thus help mitigate climate.
