CA has carbon capture and storage potential for 60 million MtCO2/yr, even more with newer strategies. This would allow natural gas plants to continue to operate instead of having to install three times that capacity in renewables with their concomitant issues of back-up and capacity overbuilding.

Your business needs a lot of stuff in order to run – paper, ink, computers, coffee, toilet paper, lightbulbs and the list goes on. But all of this stuff is made from resources of some kind, uses up energy and eventually winds up as waste. If your business is working to become a more sustainable company, that requires you to look at what products you buy and bring into the workspace.

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.
