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.

Silence is golden. Noise makes our bodies tense up. It’s stressful. We value the lack of noise far more when coming from a loud environment into a quieter place. Going from the city into the countryside, we notice how peaceful things are. We breathe deeper and feel more connected with our surroundings.
