American corn and soy farmers are preparing for a record harvest this year. With new technologies and practices, our yields for these mainstay crops are climbing even though our planted acreage hasn’t changed. It’s vital that we build stable, reliable markets for these crops that provide a sustainable return on our investments. Farmers have made

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the release of its latest Pathways to Commercial Liftoff reports, which underscores the near-term potential for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to meaningfully decarbonize the aviation sector. “Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Sustainable Aviation Fuel” analyzes the technical and commercial readiness of several SAF production pathways and highlights tangible, actionable

Bruce Andrews, partner at Alderman & Co and Connor Bernard, an analyst at Alderman & Co explain how cost and supply are the two major hurdles facing the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels The US Department of Energy estimates that aviation accounts for 2% of all carbon emissions and 12% of all emissions from transportation
