Moonbike is the world's first all-electric snowbike, similar to a snowmobile, and it's hitting the Alps this year. This French creation with skis in front and tractor treads in back retails for €10,680 (around $11,402) and can hit speeds of 26 mph, with a battery that lasts three hours. This off-road EV weighs just 87 kilograms, which is three times lighter than a snowmobile.

Stormwater from melting snow, ice, or rainfall is increasingly becoming a challenge in cities and urban centers. Naturally, stormwater should evaporate or infiltrate into the ground. The soil in natural habitats, such as forests, absorbs significant amounts of stormwater, minimizing runoff. Plants, leaves, stems, and grass also slow runoff, facilitating increased stormwater absorption.

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.
