The Transformative Power of Materials and Surface Engineering: Revolutionizing Net Zero Transitions and Unleashing Economic Resilience

The global transition to net-zero emissions has sparked intense debate about its economic ramifications, particularly following revelations of potential GDP contraction linked to rapid decarbonisation strategies. A 2025 UK government analysis projecting a 10% GDP reduction by 2030 under aggressive net-zero policies highlights the risks of stranding productive assets and inflating costs through forced technological replacements. However, this discourse often

Unveiling the Future of Aviation: SAF vs. e-SAF – A Bold Leap Towards Sustainable Skies

As the aviation industry confronts its considerable carbon footprint, sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) have emerged as a critical pathway to decarbonization. While often discussed as a singular category, the realm of alternative aviation fuels encompasses distinct technologies with varying production methods, environmental impacts, and market trajectories. Most significantly, electro-sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF)—synthesized from captured CO₂ and renewable hydrogen—represents a small
