Incentives to decarbonize transportation fuels from “clean fuels standards” like California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and Oregon’s Clean Fuels Program have transformed the livestock digester industry. The number of livestock digesters doubled last year, and is set to double again based on the number of projects that are planned or under construction, according to […]
The United States is entering a new era of climate action. As the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 becomes law, we mark a historic moment for the advancement of clean energy technologies and decarbonization of the U.S. electric grid. This long-awaited, broad-based climate legislation will provide corporate climate leaders in the U.S. with more […]
As corporate purchases of renewable energy have steadily increased, the criteria that buyers are looking for have also evolved. In the recent past, it was not a common practice to look at factors beyond environmental attributes, such as community co-benefits or other impactful procurement options, in order to differentiate one renewable energy certificate (REC) from […]
It was great to be back at E-World in Essen, Germany at the end of last month. It’s the biggest energy fair in Europe, and it was our first time back in over two years, as the organizers haven’t hosted the event since the pandemic began in early 2020. We’ve all felt a little lost […]

What is Carbon Arbitrage? Arbitrage on its own is an investment strategy that leverages price differences to generate a profit by buying and selling the same assets at different prices (buy low, sell high). Carbon arbitrage involves leveraging emission factor differences to maximize carbon displacement by shifting renewable generation to more carbon-intense hours. The benefits […]
An outpouring of shared ideas and questions from many excited voices within the crowd could be heard through microphones in the room at the March 18 workshop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
