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.

A groundbreaking discovery has revealed that aluminum from soda cans, when purified and mixed with seawater, can generate hydrogen gas, a clean energy source for engines and fuel cells without carbon emissions. This innovative process is enhanced by the addition of imidazole, a compound found in caffeine from coffee grounds. During experiments, pretreated aluminum pellets were introduced into filtered seawater, resulting in the production of hydrogen gas.
