Awareness surrounding global warming is growing as consumers demand all industries adhere to eco-friendly initiatives to reduce climate change. The technology sector is responsible for 2-3% of global emissions annually. E-waste, in particular, is highly pollutive, leaching toxic contaminants into the environment through improper disposal. Ironically, the industry has the capacity for advanced digital innovations.

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.
