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.

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.
