Rich Kassel has been recognized again by City & State as an innovator and groundbreaker for #cleanenergy in New York. He will be honored at the second annual Trailblazers in Clean Energy on Thursday, April 24. Rich has applied his policy expertise and advocacy skills to reducing emissions from New York’s transportation, buildings, and energy sectors for more than three decades and has been a leader in New York's state, national, and global efforts to reduce diesel emissions. As a young attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in the mid-1990s, his “Dump Dirty Diesels” Campaign led to the MTA’s first Clean Fuel Bus Projects, which reduced diesel particulate emissions by more than 90% in only six years. His campaign helped launch a nationwide move toward cleaner buses in cities, transit systems, and school districts. Beyond his work in New York, Rich co-founded the Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles in 2002, leading the global campaign to eliminate leaded gasoline worldwide and extending his NRDC work to more than 100 countries. Rich has also served on numerous EPA and other expert committees and task forces, which have provided advice on strategies to reduce diesel emissions, increase the use of cleaner fuels, and accelerate the adoption of transportation electrification. From 2016 to 2023, Rich chaired EPA’s technical advisory committee on fuels and vehicle emissions, where he helped develop policies that became part of the Biden administration’s transportation decarbonization blueprint. Rich continues to inspire, lead, and support his AJW colleagues and clients, dedicated to supporting business opportunities that decarbonize and deliver clean air and a healthy environment. Congratulations, Rich!

A growing part of America's energy portfolio, #biogas transforms waste into wealth for communities nationwide. Farms, landfills, wastewater plants, and food production have turned organic waste into economic opportunities, creating new product lines and revenue streams that foster long-term resilience for small businesses, public utilities, and local communities.

The Scaling Up Bioeconomy Conference | #ScalingUpBio has been a valuable forum for AJW to learn from and support #bioeconomy stakeholders. We're proud to continue this relationship and share our expertise on how policy and markets interact globally. Today's political uncertainty will, of course, factor into November's discussions – but so, too, will the private sector momentum that continues to drive #decarbonization. Happy 10th "sponsorversary," Jeff Passmore and Scaling Up!

Thank you Climate Action Reserve for creating such an engaging #NACW in Los Angeles. This was my first time at #NACW, and meeting so many dedicated experts from around the 🌎 working to tackle the #climatecrisis through markets and community engagement was really inspiring. Through my role advising on carbon market design efforts at AJW, Inc. I was honored to moderate a panel on #emerging #carbonmarkets in the Americas - in particular new carbon pricing instruments in several states in Mexico. Thanks in particular to Angélica Jiménez from Colima, Mexico, Karl Heinz Becker Hernandez from Tamaulipas, Mexico, and Jennifer McIsaac from ClearBlue Markets who provided a fantastic and sharp overview of the status of carbon markets across the Americas. Your efforts are more necessary and appreciated than ever! Great catching up with friends, old and new!
