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.

For most of history since Thomas Edison, electric power was pretty simple. It mostly came from large power plants that used a few different fuels, mostly fossil, and with exceptions like nuclear or hydroelectric power, emitted tons of carbon dioxide. In a relatively short amount of time, this paradigm has been upended by the growth of affordable renewable energy, both utility-scale and distributed, that does not burn any fuel, and the political, regulatory, and corporate drive to cut emissions.
