Ford signs lithium and nickel deals to secure IRA-compliant supply

Charged

One way to gauge how serious an automaker is about electrification is to consider whether it’s securing supplies of the raw materials that will be required to build large quantities of EVs (as opposed to just issuing press releases about EVs). The US Inflation Reduction Act, which includes strong incentives to use raw materials sourced from the US and free trade partner countries, has added some new variables to the equation.

Electrofuels Are the Future: The Driving Force to Decarbonizing Heavy Transport

Speaker: Ayesha Choudhury - Senior Vice President, Head of Capital Markets at Infinium

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.

The Pros and Cons of Offsetting

Terra Infirma

I’ve never signed up to the George Monbiot view that offsetting carbon emissions (ie paying a third party to remove an equivalent amount of carbon from the atmosphere to your carbon footprint) is intrinsically immoral. Instead I cleave to the Mark Lynas view that climate change is such an existential challenge that we can’t afford to be too purist about how we address it.
