The residential and commercial sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Heating and cooking are typically the main fuel consuming activities within the sector. There is increasing interest and support for clean fuels such as biomethane and bioLPG in this sector, evident from their adoption in countries like the UK and other European nations. …

The ground transportation sector, which includes personal and public transportation, trucking, rail, and off-road vehicles, is seeing a surge in clean fuel options, from renewable hydrogen to biodiesel. These fuels offer the potential for significant emissions reductions, especially when integrated into existing vehicles and infrastructure. Our report outlines the current landscape, challenges in distribution, and …

The industrial sector has unique energy demands, often requiring high temperatures for manufacturing processes. Clean fuels like renewable hydrogen, geothermal energy, and renewable methanol are emerging as viable solutions. However, market-based accounting methodologies are still developing, making it challenging to track and trade these fuels effectively. This background report, the second sector-specific background report released …

Aviation contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions, and sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) offer a promising pathway to decarbonize the industry. However, despite their potential, SAFs currently make up less than 0.1% of global aviation fuel. This background report, the first sector-specific background report released by CRS’s Clean Energy Accounting Project (CEAP) as part of …

Residual mixes are the attributes of unallocated or unclaimed energy delivered to customers on the electricity grid and are a critical tool that prevents the double counting of clean energy and supports accurate calculations of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from electricity use. To date, there has been no consensus on what data is needed and …

In a 4-minute video taped last week and posted to social media Monday, Cline, an actress, influencer and a native of Goose Creek, South Carolina, interviews Harris about the importance of the youth vote.

Comments of Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) on Arizona Public Service Company (APS) application to the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) for approval of its 2024 Renewable Energy Standard (RES) Implementation Plan. CRS comments pertain to APS’ requests “to waive the RES requirement for APS to rely upon the use and retirement of renewable generation (RG) …

CRS comments pertain specifically to supporting the changes to the annual reporting requirements and keeping those requirements separate from hourly reporting. Our comments also provide information about how to communicate with stakeholders regarding these changes to the PSD program.

CRS comments pertain specifically to reinstating the allocation of allowances to the Voluntary Renewable Electricity Program (VREP) and the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Reporting Requirement for Specified Source Imports.

This document, released by CRS’s Clean Energy Accounting Project (CEAP), is intended to provide background on how residual mixes (electricity delivered as part of system mix and untracked or unclaimed energy) and associated emissions should be defined and calculated in the U.S. for different uses. Residual mix calculations are often used for greenhouse gas emissions …
