“Many carbon credits will be created through the protection of forestry.” By Mike Edwards, Chairman of Ora Technology PLC (Ora), a company focused on carbon trading, and attempting to facilitate the process of buying, selling, and retiring carbon credits in the voluntary carbon market (VCM). The aim to limit global average temperature increases to no more than 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels is a threshold that we are in imminent danger of crossing.

Ammonia, a main component of many fertilizers, could play a key role in a carbon-free fuel system as a convenient way to transport and store clean hydrogen. The chemical, made of hydrogen and nitrogen (NH3), can also itself be burned as a zero-carbon fuel. However, new research led by Princeton University illustrates that even though it may not be a source of carbon pollution, ammonia's widespread use in the energy sector could pose a grave risk to the nitrogen cycle and climate without proper e

The worst aspect of the old EV tax credit was that it could only be applied to a buyer’s income tax liability (not self-employment tax, state taxes, etc) and, unlike some other tax credits, could not be carried over to a future year. The practical effect of this was that the only people who could take the full credit were high-income taxpayers—the folks who least needed it.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
