A critical crossroad: Carbon removal market and policy landscape

The key issue for finding a balance between carbon removal sources and sinks in the move towards net zero will be to establish an effective carbon removal market and policy landscape, explains Antti Vihavainen, CEO of carbon crediting platform Puro.earth.

How to overcome the technical challenges of carbon capture projects

Striking the right balance between providing secure, affordable and increasingly lower-carbon energy will be key to building a more sustainable future. There is a genuine desire to decarbonise the energy system with ‘maximum energy, minimal emissions’. What is the role of carbon capture in delivering a low-carbon future and how are the technical challenges being addressed, asks Ken Ede, Head of Decarbonisation Middle East for leading consulting and engineering group Wood.

'No place for carbon removals in emissions reduction policies'

Reducing CO₂ must remain the priority for policymakers; removing it from the atmosphere and permanently storing it can only complement decarbonisation, not replace it. Policy expert with climate advocacy organisation Carbon Market Watch Fabiola De Simone explains.

Debt and equity bankability for renewable energy project financing

The Energy Industries Council’s March 2026 Bankable Energies conference gathered financiers and borrowers to map out how to bridge the gap between net zero targets and the capital deployment required to reach them. With global investment in the energy transition hitting a record $2.3tn in 2025, the day’s conversation focused on risk mitigation and structured finance. Kristy Jooste AMEI, Senior Content Officer, Energy Institute, was there.

Research update on… public perceptions and just transitions

Industrial decarbonisation is central to the UK’s strategy for achieving net zero and ensuring long-term environmental and economic sustainability. However, technological progress alone is not sufficient. Securing public trust and delivering a just transition – one that is inclusive, equitable and locally grounded – is essential, write Benjamin Sovacool, Professor of Energy Policy at the University of Sussex, and Anna Wilson, Director, Centre for Research and Development in Adult and Lifelong Learning, the University of Glasgow. Below is an edited and abridged synthesis of UK research on the topic commissioned by the UK Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC) over the last few years.

De-risking green investments

Dr Valentina Dedi, Lead Economist at engineering, procurement and construction contractor KBR, explores how the right mix of supportive policies, financial mechanisms and technological innovation can de-risk investments in carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and maximise the potential for green investments in uncertain times, while also addressing the role of oil and gas in the energy transition.
