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.

Geoengineering technologies like carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), carbon capture and utilization (CCUS), and novel efforts to capture carbon from the ocean are falling short of IPCC targets to remove 1 Gigaton of the gas annually from the carbon budget by 2030.
