SAF Modeling Debate Not GREET vs. ICAO but Current Data vs. Old Data
Last year’s Inflation Reduction Act created tax credits meant to stimulate the production and use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), a critical tool in the aviation sector’s decarbonization strategy. To qualify for the tax credits, SAF must reduce lifecycle greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions by at least 50 percent compared to conventional jet fuel. SAF that achieves […]
Webinar: Decarbonizing Combustion Vehicles – A Portfolio Approach to GHG Reductions
Given the objective to reduce carbon emissions from the transportation sector, waiting for the market to transition to zero-tailpipe emissions vehicles (ZEVs) without seeking solutions for the dominant powertrain on the roads is a strategy that ignores the substantial reductions which can be achieved in current and future internal combustion engines (ICEVs). This webinar, hosted […]
No Silver Bullet for Marine Decarbonization
From hydrogen fuel cells and methanol to biodiesel and ammonia, it will take more than one solution to get to net zero. It will also take solutions that go beyond technology. For over a century, ships have been propelled by fossil fuels. But as the world comes to grips with the climate crisis and the […]
EPA to Host Webinar on Updated F.O.G., Other Regulatory Provisions of Latest RFS Rule
The U.S. EPA has announced it will hold a public webinar on September 7, 2023, to discuss the implementation of new regulatory provisions included in the final Renewable Fuel Standard “set” rule, which was released on June 21. The RFS “set” rule finalized renewable volume obligations (RVOs) for 2023, 2024 and 2025. It also included a variety […]
EVs Unlikely to Derail Growth in Renewable Diesel, Sustainable Aviation Fuel Demand
Government policies that promote the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) are unlikely to make a major dent in future demand for renewable diesel, says an author of a recent report on the future of the renewable diesel market. Unlike pure biodiesel, renewable diesel can be directly substituted in diesel engines year-round without any modifications. Production […]
Biofuels: An Immediate Solution for the Climate Crisis
Time is of the essence in the race to lower carbon emissions and combat climate change. Industries relying on heavy-duty equipment find that switching to biofuels proves to be a simple and effective way to meet carbon reduction goals now. In the race to lower carbon emissions and combat climate change, one resource that is […]
