(Infrastructure Canada) … The Government of Canada is investing more than $4.9 million, and the Government of British Columbia over $4.5 million in these two projects through the Public Transit Infrastructure Stream (PTIS) of the Investing in Canada plan. The recipients are contributing a combined total of over $1.9 million.
Vehicle Acquisition (Phase 6)
This project will involve acquiring approximately 15 medium-duty buses fueled with Compressed Natural Gas or Renewable Natural Gas to replace diesel-fueled buses at the end of their useful life. The new buses will help maintain current transit levels and avoid gaps in service when existing buses are retired as well as improve the capacity of the transit system for Greater Victoria residents.
In Canada, the Governments of Canada and British Columbia are investing in RNG buses in Greater Victoria as part of a public transportation initiative through the Public Transportation Infrastructure Stream, part of the Investing in Canada Plan. A portion of the funding will be used to acquire around 15 medium-duty buses fueled with CNG or RNG to replace diesel-fueled buses at the end of their useful life, which BC Transit views as an important part of its low-carbon transportation strategy as it transitions to a greener fleet.

In Washington, The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $61.4 million for technologies that produce low-cost, low-carbon biofuels. Biofuels are derived from renewable resources, and can power heavy-duty vehicles that are difficult to electrify with current technologies including airplanes and ships to help accelerate America’s path to a net-zero emissions economy by 2050.
The $2.50 per gallon target
This FOA supports high-impact technology RDD&D to accelerate the bioeconomy and, in particular, the production of low-carbon fuels for the aviation industry. BETO is focusing on applied RDD&D to improve the performance and reduce cost of biofuel production technologies and scale-up production systems in partnership with industry. The Program is focused on developing and demonstrating technologies that are capable of producing low-carbon drop-in biofuels at $2.50 per gallon gasoline equivalent (GGE) by 2030, as well as associated renewable chemical co-products to achieve th
The Art of Standing Out: The Merger Agreement Between Rice Acquisition Corp. (RICE), Aria Energy, and Archaea Energy Shows That the SPAC Boom Is Far From Over Apr 9, 2021 07:36 EDT
Rice Acquisition Corp. (NYSE:RICE) shocked analysts yesterday when its shares surged over 50 percent in a move that is reminiscent of the SPAC heydays. Yesterday’s price action in Rice Acquisition shares, coupled with that in Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:MUDS) earlier in the week, shows that the SPAC boom remains very much alive.
Of course, the fact that this merger agreement is a trilateral one has served to boost interest in Rice Acquisition shares. To wit, the SPAC is now slated to merge with Aria Energy and Archaea Energy to create a leading platform for the production of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) in the US. In order to produce RNG in a sustainable manner, the post-merger company plans to capture biogas from landfills and then use on-site processing to remove impurities and inc

“Renewable natural gas,” or RNG, is an alternative gas fuel that comes from landfills, manure, or synthetic processes. That’s opposed to the fossil gas that drillers traditionally pump out of underground reserves in oil and gas fields.
With “renewable” in the name, it may sound like a promising alternative to the fossil-based “natural” gas commonly used for heating and cooking in buildings. According to a new report from Earthjustice and Sierra Club, however, these fuels pitched as “renewable ” and environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil gas amount to a PR campaign meant to distract from efforts to convert the building sector to all electric power.
