Organizations of all sizes are increasing their renewable energy programs in pursuit of decarbonization and net-zero goals. But even with renewable targets in place, many organizations don’t know where to start or the best path to get there. Renewable energy and decarbonization require a holistic approach, one based on both a thorough understanding of the available tools and a balance of core business objectives with sustainability targets.

Countries develop conservation programs to minimize environmental degradation as the green revolution expands. Government officials often regulate the programs and certification systems, limiting their scientific backing. Ecologists view sustainability challenges within the systems, which cause surface-level and atmospheric pollution. Environmentalists feel concerned about the Sustainable Forestry Initiative’s (SFI’s) impact on the logging industry.

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.
