Eighty-nine point seven million. That’s how many dogs live in the United States, according to the 2017 APPA National Pet Owners Survey. Each of these said dogs produces, on average, 275 pounds of poop each yea r. Some quick arithmetic tells us that we have a major waste problem, 24.7 billion pounds a year, to be exact. Now that we’ve established that our dogs produce enough crap to outweigh the Washington monument, 152 times , we need to do something about it.

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.
