SUMMARY:Carbon Counts: A Video Podcast with EcoEngineers
DESCRIPTION:Carbon accounting is the method and practice of tracking an organization’s greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain process and life cycle of a product or service. Organizations\, regulators\, and governments are focused on the measurement and reduction of greenhouse gases often grouped into direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2 and 3) categories\, often with competing guidance and goals. \nAs renewable fuels\, carbon removal technologies\, and other climate innovations advance in the pursuit of carbon reductions\, organizations of all size need to understand how new products and services will impact each entity’s carbon footprint. Join David LaGreca and Dave Lindenmuth on an informational series discussing how guidance from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol\, state and local jurisdictions\, and evolving consumer expectations are shaping the nature of transparency in accounting for emissions. \nThis webinar originally aired on April 22\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Ethanol Scope 1 & 2: Decarbonizing Production
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a comprehensive webinar on innovative site-specific strategies ethanol plants are undertaking to reduce the environmental footprint of their facilities\, such as increasing yield and efficiency\, utilizing combined heat and power (CHP)\, wind\, solar\, membrane separation\, renewable natural gas (RNG)\, and biomass-based heat solutions. Find out how these decarbonization strategies can enable ethanol producers to participate and monetize federal and state credits such as Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)\, state and provincial low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) credits\, and incentives available under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). We’ll also discuss the potential of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology\, including its role in voluntary carbon markets (VCM). Additionally\, we’ll provide an overview of Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) and the life-cycle analysis (LCA) requirements underpinning the regulation\, offering U.S. ethanol producers access to a growing market. \nKEY TOPICS: \n\nLearn how ethanol producers are improving yield and efficiency with innovative decarbonization strategies like CHP\, wind\, solar\, biomass-based heat solutions\, and more.\n\n\nUnderstand the benefits of CCS and how to leverage it for both regulatory compliance and VCM opportunities.\n\n\nGain insight into Canada’s CFR\, its LCA model requirements\, carbon intensity (CI) requirements\, and market opportunities for U.S. ethanol producers in the growing Canadian fuel market.\n\n\nStay ahead of industry trends and learn how to access California’s LCFS\, as well as others such as in British Columbia\, Oregon\, and Washington.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Ethanol Scope 3: Decarbonizing Feedstock
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this insightful webinar as we discuss how climate-smart farm practices represent innovations in farming that lower the overall emissions of farmers’ operations or crops they produce\, paving the way toward the production of low-carbon ethanol that has a net-negative emissions profile. Meanwhile\, corn kernel fiber (CKF) processing is gaining traction among ethanol producers as a means for diversifying their products and boosting revenue. In this webinar\, we’ll delve into how climate-smart farm practices such as precision agriculture\, cover cropping\, reduced tillage\, and the use of low carbon intensity (CI) fertilizer enhance the environmental benefits of ethanol and lower the CI of ethanol production\, how ethanol producers can optimize their carbon credit portfolio by generating higher value D3 Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs)\, participate in voluntary carbon or low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) markets\, and monetize credits and incentives available under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)\, and more. \nKEY TOPICS: \n\nGain a holistic understanding of climate-smart farm practices\, what types of farming techniques qualify as climate-smart agriculture\, and how these practices impact the ethanol value chain.\n\n\nHow to quantify climate-smart farming practices using various life-cycle analysis (LCA) tools such as the Argonne National Laboratory’s Greenhouse gases\, Regulated Emissions\, and Energy use in Technologies (GREET) model.\n\n\nLearn how climate-smart farm practices impact the CI of ethanol production to determine the eligibility of monetizing IRA credits such as Section 40B and Section 45Z.\n\n\nLearn how CKF ethanol is processed\, D3 CKF pathway registration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other regulatory agencies\, and how to certify CKF ethanol through Voluntary Consensus Standards Bodies (VCSBs)\, and more.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Navigating the EU Biomethane (RNG) Market
DESCRIPTION:Navigating the EU Biomethane Market\nThe European Union (EU) is an attractive destination for companies operating in the biomethane value chain. As part of its RePowerEU strategy\, the European Commission set an EU-wide biomethane production target of 35 billion cubic meters (bcm) by 2030. While the goal is still far away\, in 2022\, the EU produced just 3.4 bcm. However. the progress in the last few years has been substantial. Biomethane production grows by 18% (approximately 0.8 bcm) on an annual basis and is projected to grow further due to several EU and national initiatives. In this webinar\, EcoEngineers will present these initiatives to highlight potential growth pathways for the industry\, and discuss variable biomethane markets regarding compliance\, disclosure\, and voluntary markets\, certification principles and schemes\, traceability of biomethane trades and chain of custody\, including new rules of the Union Database (UDB)\, and provide insight into the current conditions of biomethane imports and its derivatives. We hope you can join us! \n\n\nSpeaker:\n\n\n\n\n\nUrszula Szalkowska\nManaging Director\, Europe\, EcoEngineers

SUMMARY:RFS Set Rule: Considerations for Co-Digestion Webinar
DESCRIPTION:In late June\, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) released the long-awaited Set Rule final language for its Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Although the pathway for the generation of Renewable Identification Number (RIN) credits associated with renewable electricity and vehicle charging (eRINs) was removed\, other highly significant changes impacting the biogas and renewable natural gas (RNG) industry were retained. One of those important changes includes RIN apportionment between D3 and D5 RINs whereby digesters can now continue to generate D3 RINs through biogas or RNG from wastewater or manure\, and further generate D5 RINs through any additional biogas or RNG produced from accepting and co-digesting food waste. This effectively allows digesters to capture D3 RIN revenue that was not previously possible. \nLearn more from the technical and regulatory experts at EcoEngineers on how your biogas and RNG projects can benefit from this newly implemented change. \nDave Lindenmuth Sean Gassen Andrew Clapp

SUMMARY:H2 + LCA: Demystifying Life-Cycle Analysis for Hydrogen Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) signed into law August 2022 contains potentially more than $100 billion of tax incentives over its lifetime. Project developers have the opportunity to seize on and set in motion a rapid-growth pathway for the clean hydrogen economy. This 10-year tax credit is extremely valuable and represents a substantial share of the economic proposition for clean hydrogen production. Specifically\, the IRA’s 45V tax credit requires emissions from hydrogen production to meet a low-carbon threshold on a well-to-gate life-cycle basis. To determine eligibility\, project developers need a carbon intensity (CI) score. \nIn this webinar\, EcoEngineers will speak about carbon Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA)\, including factors that affect CI\, project eligibility and compliance\, and delve into strategies for project developers to navigate regulatory uncertainty effectively and share practical guidance on technology selection. \nPresenters: \nTanya Peacock Ghasideh Pourhashem\, Ph.D. Guillermo Aguirre
