[ad_1] Usina Coruripe, one of the largest sugar and ethanol producers in Brazil’s Northeast and in Minas Gerais, is turning to the carbon market to help finance the expansion of its private conservation efforts. Two decades ago, the company, controlled by the heirs of Alagoas-born businessman Tércio Wanderley, began quietly acquiring land along the Carinhanha River, which separates the states of Minas Gerais and Bahia and serves as the backdrop for the classic Brazilian novel The Devil to Pay in the Backlands (Grande Sertão: Veredas).

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Vodafone (LSE:VOD) has been a dividend favourite for some investors for a long time. From 2020 to late 2024, the dividend yield ranged from around 6% up to over 12%. However, cuts since then have made it a less stand-out pick for passive income potential. Here’s what it could still offer and whether I believe it’s an attractive option to consider. Recent issues Let’s start with the risks. Vodafone’s dividend was cut in 2024, primarily due to high debt levels and steep investment costs. In May last year, the management team announced that the dividend…

By itself, that’s higher than the average annual return from the FTSE 100 over the last 20 years. A high dividend yield is a sign shareholders are concerned about something. But the company has a strong record of returning cash to investors, so is the stock an outstanding opportunity? Dividend coverage On the face of it, there’s an obvious reason why Legal & General’s dividend should be considered risky. Over the last couple of years, the firm has paid out more…
[ad_1] Graphical abstract of the study. Credit: Journal of Energy Storage (2025). DOI: 10.1016/j.est.2025.116831 Skoltech researchers have investigated the use of polyaromatic hydrocarbons as anode materials in metal-ion batteries. The high capacity, low operating voltage, and high electronic conductivity of carbon-based compounds make them a promising anode material. The results of the study, published in the Journal of Energy Storage, open up prospects for creating cheaper and even more capacious anode materials. Metal-ion batteries use graphite as their main anode material today. There are several drawbacks to it, such as its small capacity, which restricts the operating time of phones,…
