The EU Deforestation Regulation , a significant leap forward in sustainable commerce, focuses on mitigating the EU’s deforestation footprint. Targeting commodities like cattle, palm oil, soy, cocoa, rubber, coffee, and timber, it’s a regulation that businesses operating within the EU must take seriously. This regulation ushers in an era of increased accountability.

As regulations tighten, the topic seems to be growing more urgent. A contaminant whose importance appears to have grown significantly in recent years, poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) present a challenge to pollution management given their apparent toxicity – although a clear picture is still emerging – and persistence.

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.
