The government has lost its bid to scrap nutrient neutrality rules for housing developments , with Labour Lords voting to reject the proposed amendments (to the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill) on 14 September. Natural England’s Nutrient Neutrality Principles are intended to ensure that new developments do not add to the existing nutrient impact within ecologically designated sites, for example by releasing nitrates and phosphates into rivers, which reduce water quality and harm wildlife.

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.
