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 […]
