    Navigating Recent Changes to Voluntary Carbon Markets

    Voluntary Carbon Markets, or VCM, are the decentralized marketplaces where carbon credits, used to offset greenhouse gas emissions are traded. Each credit offsets a metric ton of carbon dioxide emissions. The VCM has existed since the 1980s with recent updates to the types of activities that count as offsets. On July 30 of this year, the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) updated their recommendations for corporate carbon accounting standards that affect how corporations should count carbon offsets towards their net-zero goals. Dr. Jennifer Jenkins, chief science officer at Rubicon Carbon, joined us to talk about changes to the VCM and how they affect the way corporations can use carbon credits to meet their net-zero goals.

    Sustainable Aviation Fuel: Episode 4

    The United States' Renewable Fuel Standard Program requires a certain volume of renewable fuel be used to replace or reduce fossil fuel use. Each gallon of renewable fuel is assigned a Renewable Identification Number or RIN, which allows renewable fuel volumes to be tracked, traded, bought, and sold. These multifunctional numbers affect the entire fuel industry, including both conventional and renewable fuel producers.  According to one of our next guests in the series, RINs are little-known and poorly understood - even in the renewable fuel industry. Discover how the RIN system functions as a subsidy, mandate, tax, and a financial asset all at once. Tune in as we dissect the "most complex environmental credit ever written" with two experts in the field: George Hoekstra, President of Hoekstra Trading, and Brooke Coleman, the Executive Director of the Advanced Biofuels Business Council.
