Europe’s carbon market is about to go global, albeit through the back door of the aviation sector. In this primer, we’ve asked leading fuel managers and treasury teams how they are buying carbon allowances and how they’ll manage the risks associated. 17 pages. http://whitepapers.opisnet.com/ViewSurvey.aspx?survey=97&whitepaper_id=137 Thu, March 15, 2012 12:00:00 EDT World Fuel Services On December 29, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California ruled that California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) violates the U.S. Constitution and blocked the California Air Resources Board (CARB) from further enforcement of the LCFS. The LCFS subjects those that import, produce and sell transportation fuel in California to satisfy various regulatory requirements in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and is a key part of California’s broad efforts to address climate change. Because California leads the nation on environmental issues, this ruling’s significance is quite broad and the path forward is being watched closely both inside and outside of the state. http://whitepapers.opisnet.com/DisplayWhitepaper.aspx?whitepaper_id=154 Tue, February 28, 2012 12:00:00 EST Sutherland The United States is one of the world’s largest producers of fuel from renewable sources. It invests millions of dollars of private and public funds each year into research and development of alternative fuels. It has created a system of regulations, incentives, mandates and tariffs to bolster domestic production and consumption. http://whitepapers.opisnet.com/DisplayWhitepaper.aspx?whitepaper_id=153 Wed, February 08, 2012 12:00:00 EST RINAlliance+EcoEngineers It’s been about 18 months since RFS2 regulations went into effect. Aside from the changes in the core standards, as well as changes in policies regarding lifecycle analysis of biofuels and calculations of indirect land use changes, RFS also instituted a new central clearing house for all RIN transactions, called the EPA Moderated Transaction System (EMTS). This represented a significant change from RFS1 in the way that RINs are managed, recorded, reported, complied with and move through the chain of commerce. Instead of a 38-digit number that was recorded on paper and passed from company to company, EMTS provides a mandatory banking system that generates all RINs and manages their movements from one party to the next. http://whitepapers.opisnet.com/DisplayWhitepaper.aspx?whitepaper_id=151 Fri, January 20, 2012 12:00:00 EST RIN Attest and Advisory Services, LLC
