Hafslund Celsio is the country’s largest district heating provider and operator of the biggest waste incineration plant near Oslo. The press release revealed that Frontier buyers will invest $31.6 million to remove 100,000 tons of CO₂ between 2029 and 2030. Terje Aasland, Minister of Energy of Norway, said, “I am pleased to see that the voluntary carbon removal market is adopting carbon removals in hard-to-abate…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images One FTSE 100 growth share jumps out at me right now. First, for how far and fast it’s crashed. Second, for how far and fast analysts think it will recover. So, what’s this extreme stock? JD Sports Fashion (LSE: JD). For years, JD Sports was one of the UK’s most admired growth stocks, soaring into the blue-chip index as it cashed in on the global boom in trainers and athleisure wear. But over the last couple of years, it’s been absolutely hammered. JD Sports is the worst-performing stock on the entire blue-chip index over two…
[ad_1] Lithium prices have been unpredictable due to global tensions and mining difficulties. As reported by S&P Global, in 2023, lithium carbonate prices shot up past $80,000 per metric ton but later dropped as supply increased and demand slowed. By early 2024, prices stabilized out but remained weak. But as of March 21, Platts assessed lithium carbonate (CIF North Asia) at $9,200 to $9,550 per ton. This forced several deals on hold, and some mining giants auctioned lithium for better price discovery. The report highlighted two significant auctions in the first quarter of 2025. On March 5, Albemarle Corp. sold…
[ad_1] Until a few months ago, the Federal Reserve appeared close to achieving something that many doubted was possible. The economy looked on the cusp of a “soft landing,” a situation where inflation was headed back to the central bank’s 2 percent target without a recession. That put the central bank on track to steadily lower interest rates until borrowing costs reached a level that neither revved up growth nor slowed it down.President Trump’s global trade war has thrown a wrench in those plans. Facing extreme uncertainty about the economic outlook, the central bank has put further interest rate cuts…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Many investors dream of becoming stock market millionaires to retire early and live off the passive income generated by their portfolios. For instance, an average 4% dividend yield across a diversified mix of dividend shares would produce a healthy £40,000 in cash payouts each year from a £1m portfolio. But, could this goal be achieved with a more modest sum? How about nearly a third of that glorious £1m mark? That’s a challenging conundrum. An investor with a very spartan lifestyle might make it work, but most have some expensive commitments or want a few…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Over in the US, today (2 April) has been dubbed ‘Liberation Day’ by the current administration. The reference is to the likely tariffs that are slated to come into effect at midnight on a host of nations that trade with America. Some friends who are UK investors focusing on the FTSE 100 have told me they aren’t too fussed about what will happen today. Here’s why I think they are wrong. How the UK is impacted Perhaps the most obvious reason the UK stock market could be impacted is that the UK is on the…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images BAE Systems (LSE: BA.) shares have been performing very strongly lately. Indeed, since Santa came and went, the FTSE 100 stock is up 34.5%. This means that an investor who put £10,000 into the defence giant just before Christmas would now have £13,450. And a dividend is due in early June, which would add another £178 to the return. I mention Christmas because that’s the period when I last bought BAE shares. Mind you, it was a fair bit less than 10 grand that I invested! But it was an addition to my existing holding,…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Some people will just be starting out on their investing journeys in April. While exciting, it can also be daunting looking at all the options. Where on earth to start? Here, I’ll highlight a trio of high-quality FTSE 100 shares that I think are worth considering for a new ISA portfolio. Pharmaceutical giant Big Pharma often gets a bad rep nowadays, but where would millions of patients be without the life-saving medicines? AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN) is the UK’s largest listed company and a world leader in oncology (cancer treatments). Last year, total revenue jumped 21%…
