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.

The last couple months have been a hard lesson about the danger and limitations of our old-school fossil fuel economy. Hawaii and other communities had to scramble to unplug from Russian oil and the brutal war crimes that it funds. Then the IPCC climate change report came out essentially stating that every corner of the earth is already feeling climate impacts, and that we have less than 48 months to reverse our addiction to fossil fuel or face an “unrecognizable” planet.
