California is making great progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. So far this year, more than a quarter of all the electricity produced in California came from renewable energy technologies, with solar being the fastest growing source of new generation. But if California is to meet its goal of reducing greenhouse gases to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, the Golden State will need to both rapidly increase electric vehicle (EV) use, and charge them with more low-cost solar on the grid.

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.
