A National Biomass Ethanol Programme was introduced in late 1994 that makes a repayable line of credit available to registered ethanol producers, in the event that changes in the future tax treatment of fuel ethanol and other factors affect the economic viability of ethanol plants. The capitalisation of this programme is $65 million. The funding of this programme and the excise tax forgiveness are in addition to the governments Efficiency and Alternative Energy funding. Several provinces have reduced or removed the provincial motor fuel tax for alternative fuels, including ethanol. As an example, one of the fastest growing markets for fuel ethanol is in Ontario where the province does not apply the 14.7 cent/litre motor fuel tax to ethanol. This tax forgiveness is guaranteed for the ethanol production of new plants in Ontario through 2010.

The AI Boom Could Triple Data Center Water Use by 2030

The massive data center capacity scale-up underway has focused attention on the scale of water required for these facilities to operate. Rystad Energy estimates that without water-saving measures in place, global water consumption by data centers could rise to 644 billion liters per year by 2030. However, active mitigation could reduce demand to 388 billion liters, representing worst- and best-case scenarios as data center capacity ramps up, driven largely by the growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday life. Forecasting the…

Venezuela Helped Build OPEC. Now It May Help Break It Apart

No final decision has been made. Venezuela produced about 1.117 million barrels per day (bpd) in July according to OPEC’s secondary sources, and is currently exempt from OPEC production quotas after…
