As renewable energy capacity addition accelerates, the renewable energy credit (RECs) can play an important role. But what exactly is an REC and how does it work? RECs are tradable, non-tangible commodities or digital certificates that demonstrate that one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity was generated from a renewable energy resource and then delivered to the […]
Decarbonizing with RNG: A path to a cleaner future
Policy, regulatory, and sustainability pressures coupled with financial incentives such as the value of Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits in California have led to significant interest and activity in renewable natural gas (RNG) over the past few years. Maturing business and technology models and the ease of integrating RNG into existing natural gas infrastructure have […]
Reinventing nuclear energy: The promise of Small Modular Reactors
Over the past few decades, the buzz surrounding nuclear energy has subsided significantly. One of the primary reasons for this downturn is the public memory of catastrophic incidents like Fukushima and Chernobyl which have only further entrenched the perception that nuclear energy is risky. Additionally, the escalating total costs and construction schedule delays associated with […]
ISCC certification: Ensuring sustainability and traceability in feedstocks and supply chains
The Germany-based International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) recently revoked the certification based on audit documents for two Chinese companies indicate that some of their raw materials are sourced from Indonesia and Malaysia include palm oil. The suspension was implemented as part of ISCC’s verification process for fuel sustainability due to inaccuracy of records, lack […]
Optimizing crude oil pipeline capacity with drag reducing agents
The U.S. built a little over 3,000 miles of crude oil pipeline capacity during 2018 to 2020 to reach 84,816 miles in 2021, transporting 1.2 billion barrels of crude oil that year. No significant oil pipeline capacity additions have been made since and U.S. oil production averaged 11.9 million barrels per day in 2022 that […]
Transforming aviation: The rise of the SAF start-ups
The aviation industry has faced significant obstacles in reducing its environmental impact, particularly in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. However, stakeholders across the aviation value chain are now committed to pursuing sustainability objectives. In both, the United States and Europe, policymakers and industry leaders have implemented supportive policies and incentives to promote the widespread adoption […]
Fueling consolidation in the fuel logistics market
The global shift towards low-carbon energy to address greenhouse gas emissions and climate change has prompted major energy companies to transform their operations. This is driving growth in demand for cleaner fuels and their delivery logistics. As a result, we are seeing significant interest in M&A activity in the fuel distribution and logistics segment. Superior, […]
Sugar rush to candy crush: Struggling U.S. natural gas prices
Henry Hub gas prices averaged $6.45 per MMBtu in 2022 rising from $3.89 in 2021, driven by increased demand from Europe and the gradual re-opening of China. Prices have since fallen 62% to average $2.46 in 2023. The global LNG sugar rush resulted in LNG prices to rise to over $32 per MMBtu in 2022 […]
Driving the shift: Biden administration’s efforts to accelerate SAF adoption
With the continuous expansion of the aviation industry, the issue of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has become prominent. As per the Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. commercial aviation currently consumes 10% of all transportation energy and contributes 2% of the nation’s CO2 emissions. In response to this concern, the Biden administration has taken steps to […]
EPA’s new rule on power plant emissions
Last year, in June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could not force carbon dioxide emitters in the power sector to switch to clean energy. Rather, the agency could mandate emissions cuts based on technology that could be deployed “within the fenceline” of the power facilities. Earlier this month, […]
