I am an associate editor for Argus Media's Americas Biofuels publication, writing and editing news about biofuels and the crops and wastes used to make them. I focus on advanced fuels like renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel, digging into how government policy is shaping markets and how major energy companies are responding. I report on breaking news, chase scoops, and write longer analyses on how biofuels are shaping everything from the farm economy to fuel prices.
Previously, I was the beat reporter on east coast emissions markets (Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, federal EPA cap-and-trade markets, New York's developing cap-and-invest program) for Argus Media's Air Daily publication. I wrote both technical stories on market fundamentals and deep dives on climate policy in these states.
I have also filled in on other beats, writing stories on various energy and agriculture policies in the US and Canada, the voluntary carbon offsets market, and UN climate summits.
