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.

As a consumer, do you consistently believe the products you purchase are as green as they are advertised to be? If you answered yes to this question, then you’re in a minority. According to a 2019 Edelman’s Trust Barometer Special Report, a mere 34% of consumers trust the brands they purchase from. To compound this concern, the report also indicates that 81% of consumers think this lack of trust could be a deal-breaker in their purchase decisions.
