Setting the Standard for
Impact Accounting
Molecule Group's Impact Accounting Framework is new guidance designed to bridge a critical gap between the life cycle GHG impacts of sustainable fuels, chemicals, and materials and the scope-based inventories companies use to report emissions. Framework v0.7 is now open for public comment.
The Framework provides a common architecture for connecting life cycle analysis with corporate GHG accounting, market-based procurement, and credible claims—while transparently recognizing important impacts that may fall outside current scope-based inventories.
Impact Accounting Framework v0.7 is a working draft. We welcome redlines and written comments during the public comment period. Your feedback will directly inform the Framework’s continued development.
Molecule Group workstreams create space for structured, technical collaboration on key policy opportunities and eliminating market barriers.
2026 Workstreams
Molecule Forum
Our international workshop series convening stakeholders to advanced sustainable fuels, chemicals and materials. 2026 events are hosted in Washington DC, New York City, Brussels, & Copenhagen.
International Affairs
Engagement with international processes, especially in 2026, Agriculture, with a focus on bio-solutions from Ag and Forestry, featuring numerous dialogues, showcasing events and sharing of learnings to be aligned with the USA G20 presidency.
ILUC Reconsidered
Revisiting indirect land use change (ILUC) from a fresh, science-based perspective, exploring updated approaches that reflect real-world land dynamics, agricultural productivity gains, and ecosystem services
Impact Accounting
Developing a framework document describing how upstream GHG benefits of sustainable fuels, chemicals, and materials can be recorded and recognized within corporate climate targets and emissions reporting
Chemicals & Materials
Unlocking the full potential of bio-based, synthetic, and hydrogen-derived products in non-fuel applications by examining sustainability criteria, market access, and lifecycle analysis methodologies
2027 Workstreams
Molecule Forum
Molecule Group will continue our international workshop series by hosting four regional Forums in 2027. We will confirm locations and timing in consideration of the international calendar, stakeholder priorities, and the moments offering the greatest opportunity for policy and market impact. Where practical, we will host Molecule Forums alongside global meetings like the Clean Energy Ministerial, UNFCCC COP, G20 activities, or other relevant gatherings.
Land-Use for Sustainable Transactions (LST)
Building on the 2026 ILUC Reconsidered workstream, Molecule Group is convening a cross-sector, multi-stakeholder Land-Use Coalition around a two-phase action plan: an immediate response to the adverse effects of LSRS implementation and a longer-term framework that supports mutual recognition of sustainable fuels and products through a Sustainable Fuels Passport.
Impact Accounting
Building on the 2026 Impact Accounting Framework, the 2027 workstream will maintain the Framework as a central asset while expanding comparative analysis, cross-workstream implementation, standards engagement, and international collaboration. The workstream will continue to address regulatory and sectoral accounting methods, life cycle assessment methodologies, procurement systems, international initiatives, and corporate GHG accounting and target-setting frameworks, including the GHG Protocol and the Science Based Targets initiative.
Chemicals & Materials
Molecule Group remains open to stakeholder feedback regarding priority topics Chemicals & Materials workstream in 2027. The workstream will focus broadly on catalyzing development and market access for sustainable chemicals & materials, including detailed work surrounding existing LCA and policy frameworks, as well as extended producer responsibility (EPR) rules.
Transatlantic Market Connectivity Alliance (TMCA)
The Transatlantic Market Connectivity Alliance (TMCA) builds on several years of engagement with the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of the United States Trade Representative, and the European Commission to establish a practical connection between third-country fuel supply chains and the European Union's Union Database for Biofuels, beginning with the United States.
