In recent years the plight of our planet is becoming an increasingly popular topic. This is because more people are becoming aware of the damage being done to the planet. Of course, the global pandemic has also increased awareness of the issue and is potentially forcing economic recovery plans to be environmentally focused. However, as with most things in life, it is often the small details that make a big difference.

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.

A generational struggle for hearts and minds is underway, and all of humanity is divided. However, the eventual outcome of the war has been clear for some time.
