Assessing the role of biomass-based diesel in U.S. rail decarbonization strategy
Although the DOE’s National Blueprint for Transport Decarbonization identifies liquid biofuels as a long-term decarbonization strategy for rail, long-haul trucks, aviation, and marine, the sustainable supply of biomass feedstocks is limited and might not be enough to meet projected demand across multiple transport modes.
Meeting the SAF Grand Challenge: Current and future measures to increase U.S. sustainable aviation fuel production capacity
Assesses the feasibility of meeting the administration’s SAF Grand Challenge based on resource availability, production costs, technology readiness level, and policy support.
Drawbacks of adopting a “similar” LCA methodology for U.S. sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
Highlights key differences in the life-cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies used to estimate the greenhouse gas emissions from sustainable aviation fuel.
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
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.
Comparing the future demand for, supply of, and life-cycle emissions from bio, synthetic, and fossil LNG marine fuels in the European Union
Estimates demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel for ships trading with the European Union in 2030 and compares the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of using fossil or renewable LNG to consider renewable LNG’s potential to support climate goals.
Setting a lipids fuel cap under the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard
A policy safeguard is urgently needed to limit the impact of LCFS on food prices, trade imbalances, and deforestation.
Leveraging EU policies and climate ambition to close the cost gap between conventional and sustainable aviation fuels
Argues that the EU’s new “Fit for 55” proposals could be leveraged to steer more revenue toward development of sustainable aviation fuels, and to discourage use of fossil jet fuel.
