Mining the seafloor to extract minerals like cobalt and nickel that are widely used for EV batteries could put deep ocean ecosystems at risk (image credit: Alexis Rosenfeld / Getty Images). As the focus at COP26 in Glasgow shifts to greening the world’s transportation systems, electric vehicles (EVs) are in the spotlight. However, it is crucial that as we move from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles, we do not not risk disturbing our planet’s largest carbon sinks by giving the dest

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.
