Lignin is traditionally considered a waste product by the pulp and paper industries. A new study explores an apparently sustainable method of efficiently converting waste heat into electricity using certain wood products, while minimising costs and environmental impact. The study, led by researchers at University of Limerick in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Valencia, has demonstrated a method of generating electricity using low-grade heat recovered from lignin-derived membra

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.
