New data reported in Nature Communications appear to offer a favourable nod towards the viability of such schemes. The data are among the first to show that these hotter and deeper rocks can form fractures that connect and make it more permeable – a possibility that has previously seemed uncertain.

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.
