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 […]
This past month took me across the country and back to listen to keynotes, engage in dialogue, and learn about the latest innovation in clean mobility across the transportation sector. My first stop was at a conference called Move 2022 in Austin, Texas, and the second was American Greentech and Decarbonizing Maritime Shipping Forum in […]
At 3Degrees, we are united by the belief that a business can be an engine of change, and its people can make a great difference. While many businesses vie to be the best in the world, we focus on being the best for the world. This is the foundation of what it means to be […]
At the end of June, professionals, community leaders, and other stakeholders gathered in Portland, Oregon for the annual Forth Roadmap conference to discuss the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead as we course our path toward deep transportation decarbonization. Session topics ranged from the practical to the political, with some conversations centering on the impacts […]
In many countries across Europe, demand for power purchase agreements (PPA) has remained strong due to sustainability goals and the appearance of specific countries in the market (e.g. in Eastern and Southeastern Europe). The ambitious renewable deployment targets have driven increased PPA volumes. At the same time, uncertainty is also growing in the market, particularly […]
The ongoing climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges of our times and the corporate call to action to set climate goals is at an all-time high. Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoiding the most catastrophic damage is essential, and corporations are the most influential players. However, public skepticism grows as […]
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 […]
Hydrogen has the potential to make significant contributions to transportation decarbonization, especially in heavy-duty vehicle applications. However, there is some disagreement on the best, most environmentally conscious ways to produce and use hydrogen as a fuel. As we discussed in part one of our blog series, the energy efficiency and climate impact of hydrogen fuel […]
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. About 90 Allegheny County K-12 educators and administrators were gathered to discuss shifts in science education and receive background knowledge in science, technology, engineering and […]
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 […]
