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.

Amidst the growing demand for clean and renewable energy, different solar energy harvesting technologies are being actively developed. Among them, concentrating solar power (CSP) systems have emerged as a promising candidate for effectively producing electricity from sunlight. CSPs use multiple mirrors to focus sunlight onto a central receiver, which absorbs the sunlight and turns it into heat that is ultimately used to generate electricity through other mechanisms.
