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 that reason, getting people who tend to drive brands like a Lexus to buy-in has been increasingly challenging. Part of that challenge stems from the lack of mileage; well-off drivers do not want to be stopping every few miles to charge-up.
