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.

An electric boat that can fly? Wow, has James Bond heard about this? The truth about the Candela Seven electric boat is a bit less exciting, but still pretty cool. The new EV can’t actually take to the sky, but it does rise above the water in order to decrease drag and increase range. Wing-shaped foils force the hull out of the water as the boat moves forward, which Candela says reduces energy consumption by 80 percent compared to an ordinary planing boat, and cuts fuel costs by 95 percent.
