Widespread adoption of zero-emissions vehicles (ZEVs) could assist many regions in achieving robust greenhouse gas mitigation goals. Government mandates, market-based incentive programs, and innovative technologies have been building momentum, and the transportation sector seems to have reached a tipping point. To meet its ambitious targets, the United States needs a solid suite of electric vehicle […]
In late October, after more than a year of anticipation, the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) released the world’s first net-zero standard (the SBTi Net-Zero Standard). This is exciting news for many organizations who have been awaiting additional guidance as they consider their own climate action plans, and we applaud SBTi for this publication. In […]
As organizations around the world take action to address climate change, many are committing to ambitious climate goals, including net zero carbon emissions, carbon neutrality and science-based targets. However, knowing the proper steps to take to achieve climate goals can sometimes be a challenge, particularly as it relates to scope 3 value chain emissions. Value […]

This trend largely is driven by […]
In the first blog in our Journey to Zero series, we discussed how a growing number of organizations are setting climate goals, such as net zero, carbon neutrality, or goals approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We also reviewed the first two of four key action areas to help companies get started on […]
More organizations than ever before are setting climate goals, such as net zero, carbon neutrality, or SBTi goals. In this first article of a two-part series, we outline the key action areas to help companies get started on their journey to zero.
Europe is by far the largest and most liquid market for energy attribute certificates globally, and it is poised for further expansion. For decades, Guarantees of Origin (GOs) have been used to claim the consumption of renewable electricity in Europe.
