Did you throw out your dinner because you were worried about overeating, felt full, or were turned off by the flavor? Did you realize that by throwing food out, you’re also wasting water and causing climate change? Approximately 1.3 billion tonnes of food worth $1 trillion is lost or wasted yearly. According to a World Food Programme (WEP) estimate, about a third of all food produced each year is wasted or lost before it can be eaten.

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.
