In this week’s ClimateCast: IPCC moves to consider solutions, China leads world in clean energy investment, small-scale renewables gain ground, and much more.

We are seeing the first commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol plants commissioned in the United States and green diesel is emerging as a key biofuel, potentially a game-changer for sustainable advanced fuels.
