In Georgia, Bloomberg reports Delta Airlines has quietly shifted its ambitious climate goals of 10% sustainable aviation fuel by 2030 and net zero by 2050 to an aspiration rather than a goal as such. While the Biden Administration was a vocal supporter of SAF, the same hasn’t been for the Trump Administration which has led […]
In Belgium, EU remains needlessly over-reliant on fossil fuels for transport, thanks in part to policies that discourage the use of sustainable crop-based biofuels to reduce emissions, according to an analysis of European Commission data. New figures from Eurostat’s SHARES database show that the share of renewable energy in EU road and rail transport actually […]
