Scroby Sands wind farm off the Norfolk coast, as seen from sand dunes at Caister-on-Sea near Great Yarmouth. Swedish wind farm developer Vattenfall’s 20 July decision to cancel work on the 1.4GW Norfolk Boreas site appears to be a significant blow for UK wind power, and the country’s net zero plans generally. The investment decision has been attributed to costs on the project rising by up to 40%, seemingly due to inflation and higher capital costs – which have affected the energy sector generall

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.
