The as-a-service model, in which capital intensive costs are spread out over the useful life of the product or offering, has become commonplace. The best example is software-as-a-service (SaaS), now the preeminent way to acquire and use personal and enterprise software. This model replaced a more capital intensive approach of businesses buying their own computing infrastructure, purchasing and updating these servers with new versions of their applications, and spending significant amounts of mon

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.
