The cost of nuclear fuel has never been a big deal. Because of its high energy density, thousands of times less uranium is needed than fossil fuel to produce the same amount of energy. And it’s easy to enrich, even to higher levels than present reactors. New fuel is not a bottleneck to new reactors.

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.
