The Charge Cycle

Breaking Down the Future of Low Carbon Fuel Standards and the Power of Modeling with Colin Murphy

In this episode of The Charge Cycle, we’re joined by Colin Murphy, Co-Director of the Low Carbon Fuel Policy Research Initiative at UC Davis, to discuss the complexities and future of low carbon fuel standards (LCFS). Some of the topics we cover include:  • The evolution of low carbon fuel policies and their impact on transportation.  • Challenges in transitioning to EVs and how battery technology are overperforming expectations.  • The role of renewable diesel and biofuels in decarbonizing the transportation sector.  • Innovative solutions and policy adjustments needed to achieve climate goals. 🔗 Learn more about the Low Carbon Fuel Policy Research Initiative: lowcarbonfuel.ucdavis.edu 🔗 Follow Colin Murphy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cwmurphy/ #LowCarbonFuels #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability #CleanTransportation #Podcast #TheChargeCycle

How Microgrids Can Increase Energy Resiliency with Michael Duhs of Lattice Energy

Michael Duhs, VP of Renewable Energy & smart buildings at Lattice Energy, sits down with us to discuss how Mircorgrids can increase your energy resiliency. During a time when energy/electricity is becoming the fuel of the future, having a steady flow or control over where/when that energy comes can be critically important to the operation of your fleets. Lattice Energy offers a consultative approach and generates powerful new revenue streams by reducing grid energy consumption, dependency, and converting waste biproducts into profitability.  Learn More about Lattice Energy: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lattice-energy-solutions/ https://latticeenergysolutions.com/ Michael Duhs: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelduhs/

Trishan Peruma of Hubject Discusses Interoperability Challenges of North American EV Charging

Trishan Peruma, Hubject's CEO of North America, discusses the importance of interoperability, which involves connecting OEMs and e-mobility service providers. Hubject, a multinational company with extensive global experience, recognizes that some of the challenges currently faced in North America are reminiscent of historical EV markets, creating a sense of "deja vu." Hubject has many products and services to address some of the specific challenges facing North America such as “Plug and Charge” which aims to make EV charging as simple as plugging in the car regardless of car, network, or charger.
