In a potentially significant development that may impact the economics of aviation, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) is proposing a policy, as we previewed in January 2024, to update the state’s Low Carbon Fuel...more
As the aviation market moves towards a more sustainable future and fuel source, Brazil and other Latin American countries are likely to serve as key production locations for SAF due to their unique natural endowments and...more
Just in time for the Christmas holiday, early this morning the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and Department of Treasury (“Treasury”) released highly anticipated regulations governing the Section 45V Clean Hydrogen Tax...more
Every major industry faces a complex path toward carbon neutrality, and aviation is no exception. Large commercial aircraft account for nearly 75 percent of the industry’s carbon dioxide emissions, and batteries that are...more
Securing a carbon-neutral future requires seismic shifts across the global energy system. And as a versatile, powerful energy carrier, hydrogen promises to play a vital role. But fulfilling this promise won’t be easy, and...more
Hydrogen can play a vital role in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy, and momentum for it has never been stronger. Both governments and companies see the enormous potential of low-carbon hydrogen for storing energy,...more
When George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, ethanol was hardly a household name, even though it had been used as a fuel since the early 1800s.
