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.

They looked real, but turned out to be non-functional props. The goal at the time was to convince shareholders that they should let Musk acquire SolarCity, the leading rooftop solar installer, founded by Musk’s cousins and owned in part by him.
