Episode 41: EVC Charging Infrastructure - Optimizing Deployment

02/01/22 • 24 min

The Biden administration has announced a goal to deploy half a million EV chargers by 2030 - but how many do we actually need? Where do we need them? What is the appropriate timing for installing them? And what types of chargers do we need considering the differing use cases and other factors affecting how, when and where vehicles charge? The Fuels Institute has commissioned a report by IHS Markit to answer these exact questions and this podcast provides a high level overview of the report's findings.

Episode 42: Decarbonizing With Biofuels

Reducing carbon emissions from the U.S. transportation section will be a challenge requiring the utilization of a range of solutions. With combustion engines making up the vast majority of the fleet today and for the foreseeable future, biofuels represent one of the most practical solutions to lowering U.S. transportation emissions in the near term. But what is the future of the biofuels market? What are the policies being considered to support ethanol, biodiesel and renewable diesel and what are the barriers to biofuels adoption - things like fuel compatibility issues, feedstock availability, and vehicle fleet projections? Listen in as Stratas Advisors and Fuels Institute discuss these issues and more and look for our report coming out in spring 2022!
