This week Dani Charles, Veriflux, joins Oscar Henderson on the latest episode of The SAF Podcast. Dani reveals how Veriflux, since its inception in 2020, has grown to support over 350 companies worldwide by revolutionizing the tracking of used cooking oil and other feedstocks. His insights underscore the critical importance of accurate record-keeping for regulatory compliance and market differentiation, especially in distinguishing renewable fuels like Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). We unpack the intricate legislative process including the Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Transport, Treasury and Securities and Exchange Commission. As eco-fuel production gains momentum, what hurdles do new entrants face? We delve into the implications of the Inflation Reduction Act credits expiring in 2027 and how this impacts the renewable energy industry. We discuss the benefits that incumbents hold over newcomers and the role state-level tax credits play in promoting local production. We also explore the updates to the IRA to include Argonne National Laboratory's GREET model and the transition from 40B to 45Z at the end of the year and what this means in practice.  Additionally, we explore the transformative power of digitizing supply chains for sustainability, highlighting the necessity of robust data management to support ESG and net zero goals. Tune in to understand how comprehensive data collection not only substantiates environmental claims but also drives the future of renewable energy and sustainable aviation fuel. It is fair to say, a lot of ground was covered and it is well worth a listen, so check out the full episode below or on your usual podcasting platforms. https://lnkd.in/eJBdKpax

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Founder and Chairman, Mr. Richard Hollis Helms. Hollis was at home resting comfortably, surrounded by family at the time of his passing on May 13th, 2024. Hollis poured his heart into Ntrepid and its people. His passion and vision set the course for who we are as a company and what we have become. Hollis led an impactful, service-focused career with 30 years of work at the Central Intelligence Agency. Following his retirement from the CIA, he went on to found multiple successful companies in support of US national security interests. Many aspire to experience a fraction of his accomplishments.   Ntrepid will continue on and ever forward in an effort to execute his vision. Leadership of the company will transition to our President, Charlie Englehart.   Hollis’ Celebration of Life will be held in Florida on May 25th. The family asks that any memorial tributes be made in the form of charitable donations to Neurodegenerative Research, Inc. https://www.ndrinc.org/   In Hollis’ words, “It’s all about the people. Imagine developing and releasing software products for such demanding customers and important missions like we do at Ntrepid. It can only be accomplished with a curious, creative, and collaborative workforce. I cannot think of a more exciting time to be doing what we are doing. I know of no other company so focused or group of people so talented and therefore better positioned to build the capabilities we believe will make a difference for the community we are privileged to support.”

It's the biggest day of my professional career. I couldn't be prouder. Our team at Gondola and Fresh Tape Media turned a dream/wild idea into the greatest gathering of creatives in the sports social media world. If this is how good year 1 is going... we may have something special on our hands. #SportsSummit24 is here and it's wonderful. (and get ready for endless praise of Nick Cicero David Herman Dylan Lovett and many others for making it happen)
