[ad_1] As per confirmed media reports, Goldman Sachs has announced its withdrawal from the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), the “UN-convened global banks coalition committed to aligning their lending, investment, and capital markets activities with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050″. This marks another major exit of a U.S. financial institution from climate-focused initiatives. Earlier, Franklin Templeton, Standard Chartered Plc, and HSBC Plc had also joined the growing exodus from initiatives that scrutinize corporate climate targets. Let’s find out what is driving such bold decisions. So What’s Behind the Breakaway? Reuters reported that the ejection occurred amidst growing political and legal pressure, particularly…
[ad_1] The Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) has been a vital tool for combating climate change, enabling organizations to offset emissions by funding projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gases (GHGs). Once viewed as a cornerstone for corporate sustainability efforts, the market is now at a critical juncture. Challenges such as fraudulent practices, questionable project integrity, and waning buyer confidence have sparked concerns about its future. However, amid these setbacks lies an opportunity for transformation. Is the VCM truly on its last leg, or is it evolving to meet the demands of a more discerning global audience? A Look Back: The…
[ad_1] As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform industries and unlock new opportunities, its environmental impact is also a matter of concern. While AI holds immense potential to combat climate change, it paradoxically contributes to the problem it aims to solve. The computational intensity of AI training and deployment leaves a significant carbon footprint. So, what’s the responsible way to savor the benefits of AI without worsening the climate crisis? The answer is Green AI. So, What Is Green AI? Green AI is a movement and an innovation that seeks to balance technological advancement with environmental sustainability. Green AI, also…
[ad_1] BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota regulators approved permits Thursday for underground storage of carbon dioxide delivered through a massive pipeline proposed for the Midwest, marking another victory for a project that has drawn fierce opposition from landowners.The governor-led Industrial Commission voted unanimously to approve permits for Summit Carbon Solutions’ three proposed storage sites in central North Dakota. Summit says construction of the project would begin in 2026 with operations starting in 2027, but it’s expected that resistant landowners will file lawsuits seeking to block the storage plans.“With these permits, we’re one step closer to providing vital infrastructure that benefits…

[ad_1] This study analyzes the potential of biogenic CO2 as platform for the energy storage towards the realization of a carbon-free mobility system. Credit: Energy Conversion and Management (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.enconman.2024.119081 Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) have presented a concept for decarbonizing transport while keeping it economically competitive. Increasing the utilization of carbon dioxide from biogas plants plays an important role. In 2022, Switzerland’s transport-related CO2 emissions amounted to 13.6 million tons, not including international aviation. This corresponds to 41% of Switzerland’s overall emissions. Transport can only become more climate-friendly by switching to low-carbon technologies. Electric drives are…

DOI: 10.1111/nph.20301 Australia’s forest ecosystems, renowned for their extraordinary diversity of rare plants and animals, also play a vital role in mitigating climate change by absorbing and storing carbon. However, fossils from these ancient forests are reshaping the understanding of modern forest management practices. According to Peter Wilf, professor of geosciences at Penn State, current methods, including prescribed burning, may be disrupting the delicate ecological balance. Wilf and Robert Kooyman, an honorary research fellow at Macquarie University, examined fossil evidence…
[ad_1] Credit: Donald Tong from Pexels Up to 41% of Britons holidaying abroad could travel by rail instead of air to cut down on carbon emissions, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Leeds. The team at the Institute for Transport Studies analyzed data from the Civil Aviation Authority to build up a picture of the number of passengers, air miles and emissions from the UK aviation sector over the last three decades and looked at the potential for trains to be a substitute for airplanes. They discovered that most British people do not travel very…
