Embracing Innovation: WasteFuel's Vision for COP29
November 7, 2024
Transportation connects us to each other and the world, but today, the sector contributes significantly to climate change. Addressing transport sector emissions is critical to achieving net zero targets. For 45% of countries, transport is the largest source of energy related emissions. For the rest of the countries, it is the second largest source.
Green fuels at scale are key and solutions exist. WasteFuel turns waste into low-carbon fuels like green methanol for the shipping sector that dramatically reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 90% compared to fossil energy.
