Summary session of Exploring Beyond (fossil) Diesel series
The value of and need for low carbon liquid fuels became clear as we Explored Beyond Fossil Diesel. While other power sources will cover much of the futures needs the sheer number of diesel engines in use today across industries with large horsepower requirements means they will be around for many years and cannot be quickly replaced. Our exploration journey led us to "discover" "renewable diesel" - a low carbon drop in replacement that is warranted by engine manufacturers. Making fuel from existing carbon prevents new carbon being added to the atmosphere. This solution can power us sustainably while the other parts of the energy transition develop. This Summary session outlines key bits from the 7 longer sessions.

Weather and climate play a significant role in determining agricultural potential and productivity. They influence not only how much water is available for plant growth, livestock consumption, and other on-farm activities but also the levels of wind, heat, and sunlight experienced, which also have a significant influence on production.
