Corporate Sustainability versus CSR. The business world is becoming more environmentally and socially responsible. Customers demand it. Employees demand it. Partners and vendors demand it. As businesses continue taking steps to be more purpose-driven, conscientious and responsible, the terms “corporate sustainability” and “corporate social responsibility” (CSR) are thrown around a lot, often without clarity and without knowing what these terms mean.

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.

The latest dose of debunking comes from Yale University, where a new study found that the total indirect emissions from EVs pale in comparison to the indirect emissions from fossil fuel-powered vehicles.
