• [New] The aviation industry is working aggressively to reduce carbon emissions, with the ambition to reach net-zero by 2050 with a focus on sustainable aviation fuel as the key near - and long-term technology to achieve decarbonization.
• [New] Advanced nuclear could play a critical role in getting the domestic and global electricity sector to net-zero emissions by 2050, decarbonizing industrial processes, and producing green hydrogen.
• [New] In the absence of legal curbs, bitcoin could by 2024 become a non-negligible barrier to China's efforts to decarbonise its economy.
• [New] Failure to decarbonise the global economy could result in more than 100 million people being pushed into extreme poverty by 2030 and more than one million people dying from climate-related disasters each year.
• [New] Decarbonising process heat is one of the biggest opportunities for New Zealand to reduce its domestic energy emissions, and will make a significant contribution to New Zealand's 2050 net zero carbon target.
• [New] The Horizon Europe Programme will contribute to the decarbonisation of the transport sector, funding projects that fight climate change and generally make the transport and energy sector more sustainable.
• [New] In the short term, blue hydrogen will be vital to accelerate the use of clean hydrogen.
• [New] A transition to a low carbon future in Wales could help support local communities, create new jobs and contribute to local economic growth.
• [New] Improvements in energy and resource efficiency will play a particularly significant role in reducing industrial emissions in the 2020s, leading the way in widespread emissions reductions whilst infrastructure for deep decarbonisation options is built up throughout the decade.
• [New] Chemicals company Lubrizol will partner with the Universities of Nottingham and Warwick in its ambitious mission to decarbonise the speciality chemicals industry.
• [New] Asia's largest oil refiner aims to peak its carbon emissions by 2025, five years ahead of a national target of 2030, and then become carbon-neutral by mid-century, which would be a decade before China hopes to stop contributing to global warming following Pres.
• [New] The UK government confirmed that hydrogen will play a central role in the decarbonisation of the UKCS in its North Sea Transition Deal this week.
• [New] Impact: Advanced carbon capture could halve the cost of marine decarbonisation and give the UK a lead in its application.
• [New] Artificial intelligence, improved data analytics, energy grids, new methods for delivering and managing energy storage and delivery could make energy systems around the world cleaner, more efficient and lead to significant productivity gains in the energy sector itself.
• [New] The world's commitment to decarbonizing the global economy by developing clean, renewable energy to producing more electric vehicles, will be an essential pillar of demand for silver.
• [New] Growth Energy issued a statement stressing that the U.S. will need biofuels to help decarbonize transportation.
• [New] Failure to sufficiently align with the EU risks undermining the role of UK carbon pricing in supporting deep decarbonisation in sectors that would otherwise be at risk of carbon leakage.
• [New] While reducing emissions from the electric power sector is only part of what's needed to decarbonize the US economy, the power sector is where the largest and cheapest emission reduction opportunities reside.
• Renewable hydrogen is key to decarbonising hard-to-abate industries and will play a fundamental role in the global economy of tomorrow.
• Solar push: The Biden administration on Thursday set a goal to cut the cost of solar energy by 60% over the next decade as part of an ambitious plan to decarbonize the US' power sector by 2035.
