As people grow more conscious of the negative consequences of fossil fuels, they’re considering cleaner energy sources. The negative effects of carbon emissions on ecosystems and the broader environment are well documented. That is why governments and organizations encourage people to embrace more sustainable energy sources like solar. Solar is currently one of the most.

[Happy New Year all! My biggest article of the year is generally the last one; it’s an attempt to synthesize and summarize big themes in sustainability. It’s a labor of love and pain. Here it is, as seen a few weeks ago in Harvard Business Review ]. It was another tumultuous year for humanity and business. Inflation, supply chain problems, the first war in Europe in 80 years, and much more came together to challenge us all.

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.

A new study looks at the use of gold extracted from electronic waste as catalysts for reactions that could be applied to making medicines. Re-using gold from electronic waste prevents it from being lost to landfill, and using this reclaimed gold for drug manufacture reduces the need to mine new materials. Current catalysts are often made of rare metals, which are extracted using expensive, energy-intensive and damaging mining processes.

The greatest obstacle to EV adoption may not be range anxiety, unreliable public charging, or even the high upfront costs, but rather the lack of consumer awareness about EVs. Like most electric drivers, I regularly field ridiculous questions both on the road and online, and some of the things people say to me reveal the wide reach and effectiveness of the anti-EV disinformation machine.
