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.

The myth of the “long tailpipe” has been disproven by many a scientific study, but, like the flat-earth theory, it will probably never go away. Over the years, Charged has reported on dozens of studies that found the lifecycle emissions of EVs to be lower than those of gas-burners. The latest dose of debunking comes from Yale University, where a new study found that the total indirect emissions from EVs pale in comparison to the indirect emissions from fossil fuel-powered vehicles.
