A key outcome of the Low Carbon Technology Partnerships initiative, below50 is a game-changing collaboration designed to grow a global corporate market for the best-of-breed sustainable low-carbon transport fuels.

Any company who produces, uses and/or invests in fuels that are at least 50% less carbon intensive than conventional fossil fuels can join below50. Companies must publicly commit to the campaign, show evidence that supports their claim, and disclose their progress towards achieving this goal.

Here’s an illuminating overview of the promise and progress of Below 50 from ABLC Next in San Francisco.
