Last updated: 2/15/2024 As organizations and government entities edge closer to their net-zero goal timelines, the urgency for immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) intensifies. One key measure that is becoming more popular is the implementation of state and national Clean Fuel Standard (CFS) programs. By design, these initiatives intend to reduce the […]
With growing pressures to reduce emissions, cut costs and transition to zero-emissions vehicles, public transit agencies are at a pivotal point when considering the future of their operations. Clean fuel standard (CFS) programs offer a way for transit agencies to lower the TCO of their fleet while transitioning to zero-emissions vehicles (ZEVs). What are the […]
Key takeaways: There is an opportunity for businesses looking to host (host site) EV infrastructure as charging sites are not keeping pace with EV adoption. Utilization growth is a journey. Users need to become aware of your site, amenities are competitive, and reliability is essential. Demand charges are a big risk, especially with the current […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
To understand the future of clean transportation, it’s wise to reflect on how far it’s come. I recently flew to Long Beach, California to attend the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo. In its 12th-year of existence, ACT Expo is the largest advanced transportation technology and clean fleet event. Thinking back a decade ago, this event, […]
Transportation Markets Director, Dave Meyer, details the uses of hydrogen, its various production pathways, and its classifications.
Last week, I was part of the Low-Carbon and EV Fleet workshop at VERGE 19. Katie Fehrenbacher from GreenBiz did a great job bringing together thought leaders across business and policy to dive into the opportunities and challenges around decarbonizing transportation. Real world fleet transition challenges I had the opportunity to moderate a panel with […]
