The River Severn traces a path through the Bristol countryside. Water utility Severn Trent topped the charts with the only four-star rating. Water and sewerage firms in England are still under-performing, according to the EA’s latest appraisal of their performance – in relation to spills from storm overflows and so on. But it’s important to acknowledge that changes are definitely afoot, suggested a statement from the agency’s chair, Alan Lovell.

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.
