Across the U.S., a growing number of states are exploring market-based strategies to reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuels. This reflects a broader trend toward the development of clean fuel programs aimed to reduce transportation sector emissions and incentivize the production of low-carbon and renewable alternatives.
U.S. hydropower generation is expected to increase by 7.5 percent to 259.1 billion kilowatthours (BkWh) during 2025, however will remain 2.4 percent below the previous 10-year average, according to a May 19 report published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Hydropower production during 2024 declined to 241 billion BkWh, the lowest level since at least…...
The New York Public Service Commission on May 15 approved a series of reforms aimed at accelerating the state’s clean energy transition, including a notable increase in its annual large-scale renewable energy procurement target. The revised goal raises the land-based renewable energy target (known as Tier 1) from 4,500 gigawatt-hours to 5,600 gigawatt-hours per year…....
