The Treasury Department's final Section 45V clean hydrogen production tax credit rules seek to strike a balance that addresses industry concerns without compromising environmental goals. https://bit.ly/4agafci

The U.S. is making strides in #SustainableAviationFuel production, but the new Treasury guidance falls short of jump-starting a strong domestic SAF industry and risks disadvantaging American stakeholders against our foreign competitors. We need robust federal #SAF policies that support American farmers, energy producers, and innovators to maintain our global leadership. The SAF Coalition is hopeful that the incoming Trump Administration and Congress will take bold steps to attract investment and rapidly increase domestic SAF production.

17/52 🚢 ♻ Shipping Finance: Navigating Climate Risk for a Sustainable Future As climate pressures mount, shipping lenders are shifting their focus towards the climate performance of the companies they finance. A recent study shows that lenders are increasingly tying loan margins to corporate climate scores, driven by initiatives like the Poseidon Principles and the Paris Agreement. However, while this shift is a positive step, there’s a growing concern that climate risks at the asset level – like a ship’s carbon intensity – are being overlooked. This could lead to significant financial exposure, especially as climate-related regulations tighten and low-carbon technologies advance. If ship assets lose value due to carbon intensity, lenders face increased risks, particularly in long-term loans. A borrower’s default could leave lenders reliant on the value of devalued, carbon-heavy ships. To mitigate these risks, stronger regulations, improved metrics, and more granular climate data are essential. By addressing these gaps, lenders can not only protect their portfolios but also accelerate the shipping industry’s transition to a low-carbon future. Encouragingly, there’s potential to develop innovative financial tools, like climate-linked bonds and green loans, that incentivize sustainable investments. In today’s world, understanding and managing climate risks is not just a regulatory issue but a financial imperative. #Sustainability #Shipping #ClimateFinance #Decarbonisation #PoseidonPrinciples #MarineInsurance #ESG #CorporateResponsibility #SustainableShipping #MaritimeIndustry #GreenShipping #CORAL #Maritime #underwriters #brokers #CWD #EnvironmentalStrategy #FutureOfShipping William Unwin Sam Bursey (ACMA, CGMA)

The Center for Climate-Aligned Finance is excited to share a significant development from the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) #NetZeroBanking Alliance — the release of "Emerging Practice: Climate Target Setting for Steel Sector Financing." This publication will serve as a crucial resource for banks committed to setting robust climate targets within the steel sector.    As the steel sector plays a vital role in the global economy, equipping financial institutions with the knowledge to set effective climate targets and report against them is essential for achieving net-zero goals. We are proud that the Sustainable Steel Principles (SSP) are highlighted as a bespoke solution for navigating the complexities of the steel sector and facilitating impactful transition planning.    Learn more about how the finance community can engage with the Sustainable Steel Principles to advance a more sustainable and resilient steel industry 👇 https://lnkd.in/eMAWudAC   Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/gCWJb2Ys

The U.S. Treasury and IRS have released new guidance on the #SustainableAviationFuel (#SAF) Credit under the #InflationReductionAct, detailing eligibility for tax credits for fuels that cut #GHG emissions by at least 50%. This update also allows certain crop-based fuels to qualify for these credits. The revised GREET model supports this initiative by facilitating the calculation of emissions, thereby advancing #innovativetechnologies and #sustainablefarming practices in #SAF production. #energytransition
