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.

Advanced recycling methods have the potential to vastly increase the amount of plastic that gets recycled into feedstock and new products. For these innovations to work at the scale needed to address global plastic pollution, however, processes and infrastructure must be in place across the entire life cycle of plastics disposal and product production.

How carbon offsetting compares to carbon reduction. The Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Committee on Climate Change (IPCC), published in August 2021, painted a stark picture of our world. It made clear that more must be done to reduce and offset carbon emissions. In the years since 2015’s Paris Climate Accord, many industrial businesses have begun using carbon offsetting strategies to balance the emissions of their operations.

In 2019, the UK passed a law to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. Since then, the Government has launched its Build Back Greener strategy which shows how businesses and individuals will be supported in their transition to renewable energy. But some companies are setting a trend for aiming to become net zero by the end of 2022. To be classed as net zero, a company must achieve a balance between the carbon it emits into the atmosphere and the carbon it removes.

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.

But just to refresh your memory, I’ll use the European Space Agency’s (ESA) recent definition: “When they photosynthesise, plants use sunlight to break apart water into hydrogen and oxygen, and then combine the resulting hydrogen with carbon dioxide from the air to create carbohydrates”.
