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.

Tesla rounded out the year with a record quarter of storage deployments and notable solar growth, a bounce back from analyst projections that the Tesla solar train was all but stalled. The automaker-turned-energy-company logged 54 megawatts of solar deployed in Q4, its highest quarterly performance in 2019 and up from a low of 29 megawatts in Q2. It also delivered 530 megawatts of storage — an all-time high.
