There is significant potential for growth in the U.S. biofuels market, as hard-to-abate industries look for cleaner fuel alternatives. The aviation sector is driving sectoral growth, with many major airlines investing heavily in the production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs).
Agriculture is also supporting biofuels growth through the development of...
After depending heavily on coal for power for decades, the United States may finally be leaving coal in the past, as more oil, natural gas and renewable energy capacity comes online. International organizations, such as the International Energy Agency (IEA) have long criticized the world’s addiction to coal, which...
Solar power and battery storage are expected to lead new U.S. generating capacity additions in 2025, according to the Energy Information Organization (EIA).
The EIA expects 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U.S. grid in 2025. This is 30% higher than the 48.6...
