Recently WSPA retained a NERA Economic Associate Director to predict allowance prices, household costs, and energy-intensive sector output impacts for the Climate Commitment Act. No model should be treated as usefully predictive when it does not provide sufficient detail of the methodology and assumptions. This analysis is far from meeting that bar and, therefore, should not be depended upon for any predictive value.
Speaker: Kevin Kai Wong, President of Emergent Energy Solutions
In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Recently WSPA retained a NERA Economic Associate Director to predict allowance prices, household costs, and energy-intensive sector output impacts for the Climate Commitment Act. An initial read of their modeling summary indicates several weaknesses in the projections , greatly limiting the relevance. It ignores the price protections in the Climate Commitment Act – the Act requires “an auction ceiling price to limit extraordinary prices” amongst other cost-containment safeguards, however the mod

The US commitment to absolute zero, not net zero, can be a political game changer for the shipping industry Summary - The US wants the global shipping industry to reduce its CO2 emissions to zero by 2050, announces the country's special presidential envoy for climate, John Kerry. That target is considerably more ambitious than that of the IMO, which is to reduce CO2 emissions by at least half by 2050.

A California company, Natel Energy, is hard at work developing a low-head, low-impact hydropower approach that addresses one of the leading concerns of new deployment — impacts to natural stream flows. Of course, if environmental mitigation strategies take too big a bite out of revenues, the effort is a nonstarter. At the same time, the company […].

WASHINGTON — More than 60 conservation and environmental groups are calling on top Biden officials to suspend permits and approvals by the previous Trump administration for the controversial Mountain Valley Pipeline, contending it poses a grave threat to clean water, local communities, the environment, and the climate. If the administration follows the groups’ recommendations, 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.

President Biden has stepped up and made a commitment for the US to reduce carbon emissions 50% by 2030 versus 2005 levels. 50 by 30! We need to do it and we can do it! But what is the best path? There is strong underlying logic behind this new commitment. The math is simple but […].

Formosa Plastics Group is planning to build a $9.4 billion manufacturing complex right in the middle of a Black community here in Louisiana.

In 1848, gold was first discovered in California. In 1859, the U.S. oil industry began when the first well was drilled in Pennsylvania. Back then, oil from animals (think whale blubber) was typically used, until a patent for creating kerosene from coal oil was patented in 1854. Once Pennsylvania shale oil was analyzed and determined […].

The transportation sector is the largest source of carbon dioxide emissions in the nation, and electric vehicles (EVs) offer a promising pathway toward decarbonization. With decreasing purchase prices, charging improvements, cleaner electricity, and consumer and industry support, the future of EVs has never been brighter.

With 191 country signatories to the Paris Climate Agreement now hard at work in the race to zero carbon by 2050, much of the heavy lifting in ecosystem sustainability falls on the shoulders of the world's densely populated urban centers. This conversation considers how today's AI-enabled simulation media, such as AR/VR, can be effectively applied to accelerate learning, understanding, training, and solutions-modeling to sustainability planning and design.

Hiding behind the coattails of Big Oil is no longer the stance of the US. Instead, President Joe Biden told 40 world leaders that the US would halve its global warming emissions by the end of the decade. “This is a moral imperative, an economic imperative,” Biden exclaimed. “A moment of peril, but also a […].
