Is 'net zero' much ado about nothing? Joel Makower. Tue, 05/11/2021 - 02:11. It feels almost quaint to remember way back when "80 by 50" — an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 — was a bold goal for a company or government entity to make. It was seen by many as audacious, possibly unachievable, but still a necessary target. The "way back when" in this case seems to be around 2014.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonies collected on a laboratory plate. Researchers at Hong Kong Polytechnic University have developed a seemingly new technique to trap and recover microplastics. The method uses bacterial biofilms, a sticky substance created by micro-organisms, to trap microplastic particles. The biofilm is then processed and dispersed, releasing the microplastic particles for processing and recycling.

Global Renewable Energy market is expected to observe growth in the future due to rising emissions of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide for a generation of energy after the utilization of fossil fuels.
Speaker: Ayesha Choudhury - Senior Vice President, Head of Capital Markets at Infinium
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.
