Leading U.S. rooftop solar installer Sunrun has bounced back from the slump it experienced at the height of coronavirus shutdowns. The company installed 109.5 megawatts in the third quarter, up 40 percent from 78.1MW in the second quarter. That installed capacity also marked a 2 percent increase over Q3 of 2019.

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.
