In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEI+J) has become a top priority for US businesses in recent years. While companies have invested heavily in top-down initiatives like workforce development and recruitment, many have yet to implement the deeper, structural changes needed to make a lasting impact. And now with growing political backlash and risk of litigation, progress that has been made is under threat as businesses consider muting or even pausing their DEI+J efforts.

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.
