Electrofuels Are the Future: The Driving Force to Decarbonizing Heavy Transport
Speaker: Ayesha Choudhury - Senior Vice President, Head of Capital Markets at Infinium
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.
