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.

Many people now work partly or permanently from home. This saves petrol because they no longer have to drive to the office—which is good for the energy transition. Or not. Because at home, they consume even more energy for heating and cooking, and video calls also consume extra energy in the data centers of Microsoft, Zoom and the like. Does digitalization now save energy or are we just blowing more CO2 into the atmosphere?
