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.

Producing the materials needed for the infrastructure and objects we use every day accounts for more than 20% of global emissions. These are some of the most difficult industries to decarbonize, as we have few ready options to replace the coal, gas and oil they typically use as fuel and feedstocks. Over the next six years hydrogen, carbon capture and electrification will need to be tested and scaled, as industrial emissions must drop dramatically from 2030.
