Water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource. As a result of water pollution caused by human-related activities, wastewater has been damaging local ecosystems across the globe. This is not only unfit for human use or consumption, but also threatens indigenous flora and fauna. In order to prevent this, wastewater treatment (WWT) is carried out to remove impurities from sewage before it reaches waterbodies or aquifers.

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.
