Are PCF and Scope 1-3 Becoming New Investment Metrics Alongside NPV and IRR in Chemicals and Oil & Gas?
For decades, investment decisions in refining and petrochemicals were driven primarily by IRR, NPV, and EBITDA. That framework is evolving. PCF and Scope 1–3 emissions are increasingly becoming additional investment metrics — affecting technology selection, feedstock sourcing, financing attractiveness, and long-term product competitiveness.

Lower Carbon Aviation Fuel (LCAF): A Practical Bridge to Aviation Decarbonization Amid SAF Scalability Challenges
While Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is aviation's long-term decarbonization solution, its near-term scalability constraints demand a pragmatic bridge. This article explores how Lower Carbon Aviation Fuel (LCAF) — derived from conventional petroleum but produced with significantly reduced upstream carbon intensity — can deliver immediate, high-volume emissions reductions while next-generation fuel technologies mature.

ICAO CORSIA: Decarbonizing Global Aviation
CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) is the first global market-based measure for an entire industrial sector, developed by ICAO to address CO₂ emissions from international flights and support net-zero aviation by 2050.
