EV fleets are expanding at a fast pace in several of the world’s largest markets. This is being driven by governments and automakers who are promoting electricity powered vehicles as a key technology to curb oil use, fight climate change and air pollution. As more renewable energy sources are used, power systems must become more flexible and adjustable to balance supply with demand.

A coal-fired power plant: The group’s “solar fuels” system has now been tested with flue gases on an industrial site. Researchers have demonstrated a novel system for transforming captured carbon and plastic waste into sustainable fuels and other valuable chemicals using solar energy. In tests, CO 2 was converted into syngas, a key building block for sustainable liquid fuels, and plastic bottles were converted into glycolic acid, which is widely used in the cosmetics industry.

The rising level of pollution is leading to a major increase in environmental concerns. The extensive usage of fossil fuels in order to meet the rising demand for energy is driving the need for sustainable energy. The government is also taking various initiatives to promote renewable energy usage and move towards a sustainable environment. Increasing fossil fuel usage adds to the carbon footprint, further depleting the ozone layer.

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.
