The Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Energy Supply Programs are voluntary programs helping to increase the use of renewable-sourced power and CHP systems among leading U.S. organisations. Programs include:

Green Power Partnership and Combined Heat and

Power (CHP) Partnership.

Green power is electricity produced from a subset of renewable resources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and low-impact hydro. Organizations are encouraged to purchase green power as a way to reduce the environmental impacts associated with conventional electricity use. The Green Power Partnership offers expert advice, technical support, tools and resources in return for organisation signing an agreement to purchase green power that meets or exceed Partnership benchmarks. The more than 1,200 organisations on the current partner list are collectively buying more than 17 billion kWh of green power annually, equivalent to the annual carbon dioxide emissions from electricity use of more than 1.4 million average American homes.

The CHP Partnership works closely with energy users, energy service companies, the CHP industry (manufacturers, consultants, and project developers), state and local governments, federal agencies, private organizations, and other stakeholders to support the development of new projects and promote their energy, environmental, and economic benefits. The CHP Partnership encourages implementation of clean energy technologies by providing information, connections to technology providers, and government-branded recognition to participants. For example, the Partnership maintains the CHP Partnership Funding Database which tracks federal and state CHP and biomass fiical incentives as well as regulations that remove unintended barriers to CHP or biomass project development such as standardised interconnection rules, net metering rules, or output-based regulations. Through 2009, the CHP Partnership has helped install more than 460 CHP projects, representing 4,850 megawatts (MW) of capacity.

Oil Prices Slide 2% as Markets Brace for Bessent’s ‘Economic D-Day’

Oil prices fell by more than 2% in early Asian trade on Monday as traders took profits and markets awaited details of a new U.S. sanctions package against Iran. At the time of writing, WTI futures were trading at $85.18 per barrel, down 2.16%, while Brent futures were trading at $92.32 per barrel, down 2.19%. Both benchmarks gained more than 5% last week as the U.S. and Iran continued to trade threats, Iranian crude exports dropped, and tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz slowed to a trickle. Today’s pullback appears to be driven…

Diesel Crisis Threatens to Outlast the Middle East War

The outlook for the Middle East war remains grim, the U.S. just threatened Iran with the “toughest sanctions in history,” and the world is running out of stored fuels. To make matters worse, refining capacity is down considerably, and even if the outlook for the war suddenly changed and the U.S. and Iran made peace, the fuel squeeze will last for months—and so will its adverse effects on the global economy. Watching crude oil prices, one would think everything is under control. Both Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate are…

Pemex and Petrobras Bet Big on High-Risk High-Reward Drilling Off Mexico

Mexico’s state oil firm Pemex and Brazil’s national oil company Petrobras are joining efforts and expertise to drill prospects in Mexican waters in the Gulf of Mexico, hoping to unlock huge oil resources from source rock formations that are miles deeper and eight times older than the currently producing formations in the U.S. Gulf. Exploration in the Jurassic formations deep under the Mexican Gulf seabed in the Campeche Bay carries high risks, but the reward in case of a discovery could be enormous, geologists and analysts tell Bloomberg.…

Super El Niño Threatens Food, Water and Trade Worldwide

The world is set to experience an extremely intense El Niño weather event this year, with warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific. This could disrupt typical weather patterns and lead to heavy rainfall in some regions and severe drought in others. While it is unclear whether the more frequent occurrence of El Niño is directly linked to human-caused climate change, it is certainly exacerbating extreme weather patterns in some parts of the world. El Niño occurs every few years, but this year…

Private Equity Is Circling Utilities as AI Reshapes the Grid

While it seems that Democrats and Republicans can’t agree on much of anything these days, there’s at least one common enemy that’s bringing both sides of the aisle together: data centers. Representatives on both sides of the aisle are increasingly pushing back against hyperscalers who are developing massive data center campuses on local energy grids, driving up energy demand and therefore causing electricity prices to skyrocket for everyone, whether they benefit from the artificial intelligence boom or not. The Trump administration…
