Clean energy technology supply chains must get better, faster, cleaner, says report
Envirotec Magazine
JUNE 8, 2023
A new briefing from think tank organisation the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) argues that the clean energy transition can be delivered on time and at an affordable cost if supply chain risks are minimised by policy and industry action. Rapidly scaling sustainable, diversified, and resilient clean energy supply chains is key to achieving net-zero targets on-time and at as low a cost as possible, according to the ETC.

Comment: Pay-as-you-throw can drive the circular economy
Envirotec Magazine
JUNE 8, 2023
Under the terms of such a scheme, people would pay for the collection of waste containers like wheelie bins, each of which would be equipped with RFID or a similar system. Governments should consider introducing a combination of incentives and penalties, such as pay-as-you-throw (PAYT), if they are serious about lowering the volume of waste sent to landfill, argues Chris Williams of ISB Global , a UK-based software and solutions provider for the global waste management and recycling sector.

Electrofuels Are the Future: The Driving Force to Decarbonizing Heavy Transport
Speaker: Ayesha Choudhury - Senior Vice President, Head of Capital Markets at Infinium
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.

Others argue that getting large numbers of public charging rolled out quickly should be the top priority, and that utilities have the resources to make that ha
