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.

Cuckoos were among the bird species examined in the study (image credit: Ben Andrew). Conservationists have seemingly been flummoxed by studies which show climate change is having a stronger effect upon bird species which benefit from climate change compared to those which suffer negative impacts. The authors of a major study investigating 525 bird species over 30 years and across two continents believe there could be a time lag in the response of populations to climate change, creating an ‘exti

The Climate 4.0 Economy. Climate change is here. We see it in many ways already.

One of the great pervading myths of the climate debate is that climate change is being driven solely by global capitalism/consumerism/neoliberalism and that only some form of socialism can stop it. Certainly the left are more receptive to listening to the scientific message, whereas free market think tanks are often crucibles of climate change denial and associated misinformation, seeing the climate movement as looming socialism in disguise.
