SAF will never be CO2 net neutral. In the case of SAF made with biomass, the carbon dioxide produced by plants absorbed during the growth phase is roughly equivalent to the amount produced when the fuel is used. This would make the SAF only CO2 neutral during the consumption of SAF. Additional emissions are released during the SAF production process because of the energy needed with the associated emissions to harvest, transport and refine raw materials into SAF. Additionally, to make the SAF usable in jet engines, it must be mixed with at least 50% aviation fuel made the old fashioned way, from OIL! In other words, the overall CO2 resulting from this SAF nonsense is no better, if not worse than using aviation fuels made from petroleum. Another boondoggle initiative of the environmental wacko left that does not result in a reduction of CO2 emissions, but creates billions of dollars of wealth for those in on the scam like citibank.

We've released the ACCC and Australian Energy Regulator Annual Report for 2023-24. As noted by our Chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb: "Over the past year, the ACCC has conducted a substantial body of work framed by the key challenges facing our economy and community, including the net zero transition, the opportunities and disruptions of digital transformation, and the significant impact of cost of living and cost of doing business pressures. As the ACCC has been given wider and renewed roles by parliament we have a broader remit while remaining focused on keeping the economy competitive and protecting the rights of consumers and small businesses.” The report is available here: https://bit.ly/40nMpZ0

Now available on demand: Macquarie Group's Market Perspectives webinar provides in-depth conversations on the drive to reduce carbon emissions, including the electrification of vehicles, alternative fuels, and how investors can explore opportunities in global transport and challenges on the road to net zero.

🚀 The Business of Leading the Energy Transition – A Catalyst for Change 🌍 What an inspiring day at the second annual Business of Leading the Energy Transition event in London! Hosted by leaders in the financial and energy sectors including Accenture, Barclays, Hitachi Energy, NatWest Group, and SSE plc, the sessions featured a close look at how finance, energy, and policymakers are looking at accelerating the UK's transition to a sustainable energy future. It was awesome to hear industry heavyweights including: Cathal Deasy – Global Co-Head of Investment Banking, Barclays Eliot Whittington – Executive Director, Chief Systems Change Officer of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) Laura Fleming – Chief Executive Officer, Hitachi Energy UK and Ireland Katie Murray – Group Chief Financial Officer, NatWest Group Alistair Phillips-Davies – Chief Executive, SSE Toby Siddall – Sustainability Strategy Lead and UK & Ireland CSO, Accenture and policymakers like Chris Stark, head of Mission Control for UK Clean Power 2030, Rt Hon Chris Skidmore author of the Skidmore Report on Net-Zero, and Michael Shanks, Parliamentary Undersecretary of State for DESNZ Key takeaways for me: -Public and private sector collaboration is essential: The path to a clean energy future requires both public policy and private investment working hand in hand. Neither can achieve the necessary scale and speed of change alone. We must align efforts to drive the innovation, infrastructure, and investments needed to make real progress. 🤝🌍 -Clear policy signals are critical for financial markets: For capital allocators and financial markets to fully commit to green energy, there must be stable and transparent policy frameworks. Uncertainty can hinder investment, but with strong policy signals, we can accelerate the shift to renewable energy, ensuring the flow of capital moves in the right direction. 💸📊 -Britain’s leadership opportunity is global: The UK has a unique moment to not only lead its own energy transition but also support other nations in theirs. By leveraging expertise and leadership, Britain can help drive global energy transitions, delivering a more sustainable future for all. 🇬🇧🌍 This was more than just an event; it was a call to action. 💼 I left feeling energized, ready to contribute, and more confident in the UK’s ability to lead the way. It was also great to see many familiar faces there, including my friend Rutang Thanawalla, who kindly snapped this photo of us during the coffee break! #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #NetZero #Innovation #Leadership #UKEnergy #COP29

Carbon Finance Market Outlook 2024-2030 For Additional Information, Get a Sample Copy>>> https://lnkd.in/dCPABMx5 The carbon finance market refers to the financial ecosystem that enables the trading, investment, and monetization of carbon reduction and removal activities to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It operates through mechanisms that assign economic value to carbon emissions, creating financial incentives for entities to reduce their carbon footprint and support climate-friendly initiatives. #KeyPlayers::: 3Degrees Group, Inc.
