2030 California renewable natural gas outlook: Resource assessment, market opportunities, and environmental performance
Estimates the possible production volume of cost-viable RNG and considers the impact of changes to California methane regulations on its LCFS credit value
European Union Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR)
On March 28, 2023, representatives of the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the European Union (EU) agreed on a compromise for the EU Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR). Proposed on July 14, 2021, by the European Commission, the AFIR is part of the EU’s “Fit for 55,” a package of regulatory […]
Emissões de gases de efeito estufa do ciclo de vida do hidrogênio como combustível marítimo e custo de produção do hidrogênio verde no Brasil
Em 2018, a Organização Marítima Internacional (IMO) definiu uma estratégia inicial para reduzir pela metade as emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE) até 2050 em comparação com os níveis de 2008. Essa estratégia deve ser fortalecida em 2023. Para atingir esse objetivo, são cruciais combustíveis alternativos mais limpos, como o hidrogênio renovável obtido por […]
Key issues in LCA methodology for marine fuels
Highlights the impact of key considerations and methodological decisions when doing a life-cycle analysis (LCA) of transport fuels and demonstrates how these can impact the greenhouse gas emissions attributable to different alternative fuels.
Life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of hydrogen as a marine fuel and cost of producing green hydrogen in Brazil
Assesses renewable electrolysis hydrogen production costs and life-cycle GHG emissions for maritime applications in Brazil
U.S. biofuel demand and the potential for used cooking oil from major Asian exporting countries
Summarizes analysis of exports of used cooking oil (UCO) from Asia to consider the implications of policies that would increase demand for UCO in the United States.
Defining low-carbon gas and renewable gas in the European Union’s gas Directive
Suggestions to ensure greenhouse gas reductions are achieved through the proposed gas Directive
A roadmap for decarbonizing California in-state aviation emissions
Assesses how policies could increase the contribution of sustainable aviation fuel and zero-emission planes to the state’s decarbonization efforts
Recommendations for the ReFuelEU aviation trilogue
Identifies which aspects of the original proposal for ReFuelEU and its amendments would reduce GHG and increase compliance options
Life-cycle analysis of greenhouse gas emissions of hydrogen, and recommendations for China
Evaluates the carbon intensity of 11 hydrogen pathways in China and assesses their suitability for a pilot city program in China that promotes the use of fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen fuel.
