The European Union is taking ambitious and expansive action toward a sustainable future. But what happens in the EU doesn’t always stay in the EU. Due to the global nature of organizations and their supply chains, any policy developments within the world’s third-largest economy have far-reaching effects across regions and countries. And with its reputation as a global sustainability leader, developments in the EU often provide an indication of what’s to come in other markets around the world.

The California legislature is considering a bill that would require most EVs sold in the state to be bidirectional-capable by 2027. In recent testimony, Nuvve CEO Gregory Poilasne told the lawmakers that bidirectional charging can reduce the total cost of EV ownership, and that it’s essential for integrating more renewable energy into the grid. The bill is agnostic in terms of how V2X tech is implemented.

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.
