It’s no secret the approach of the finance industry to biogas projects has changed this year. With evolving policy, shifting investor expectations, and growing market complexity, this session brings together finance, legal, and policy experts to unpack the most pressing questions shaping project viability and growth. We’ll explore the durability of Section 48 ITC safe harbor protections, the uncertain trajectory of 45Z and its post-2027 transferability, and whether CARB amendments will deliver clarity—or further volatility—to LCFS pricing. Attendees will hear the latest on offtake market reactions to new RNG pathways, updates on debt and loan guarantee availability amid USDA staffing cuts, and whether traditional equity investors are still in—or pulling back. Come away with the insights you need to navigate the next 3–4 years of project development, capital sourcing, and incentive optimization in a rapidly changing biogas landscape.

The maritime sector is entering a new era of climate accountability. With the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) landmark decision scheduled for Oct 17 to mandate greenhouse gas intensity standards and global emissions pricing starting in 2028, now is the time to explore what these new rules mean for the biogas industry. This session will dive into role of biogas to bio-LNG and bio-methanol as scalable, near-zero fuels under the IMO’s “fuel-neutral” framework. Industry leaders and technical experts will unpack compliance pathways, lifecycle emissions accounting, infrastructure readiness, and the opportunities for biogas to lead in decarbonizing global shipping.
