The coronavirus pandemic has provided a glimpse into the challenges and opportunities posed by a more rapid transition to a 100 percent renewable energy future. In the early months of COVID-19, for example, electricity demand dropped , as many businesses closed and factories either halted or drastically scaled back their operations. While electricity demand has faltered during the global pandemic, the share of wind and solar generation has continued to increase.

New tool will help census oceans from surface to seafloor, monitor fish, track shifting marine life due to climate change, around coral reefs, aquaculture or wind farms, oil rigs, and more. Humanity is seemingly a step closer to answering one of the most ancient of questions – “how many fish in the sea?” – thanks to research that appears to show that the amount of fish DNA collected in a water sample closely corresponds to kilos of fish captured in a trawl with nets.

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.
