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.

New York’s Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) this week upped incentives offered to community solar projects in its territory, providing some concessions to solar developers but ultimately falling short of what the industry said it needed to provide the certainty to finance projects there. Going forward, LIPA will offer a 5-cent-per-kilowatt-hour “community credit,” up from the planned 2.25-cent credit, for all community solar projects.

Ice Energy filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in December, in a setback for small-scale thermal energy storage. As lithium-ion batteries proliferated for grid storage, a small contingent of entrepreneurs pitched an alternative technology: thermal storage, which pre-heats or -cools a building to cut electrical usage during expensive peak hours. The technology is simple and cheap and has helped large commercial buildings for years.
