First ever global registry of fossil fuels launched, while North Sea emissions continue to fall

Transparency on fossil fuel supply has taken a major step forward as what is claimed to be the first public database of emissions from production and combusting reserves worldwide is published. Meanwhile, the North Sea oil and gas industry is reportedly on track to meet early emissions reduction targets, according to a separate report.

Call for robust scientific standards and transparency to improve the voluntary carbon market

Scientific principles and transparency must lead the conversation about what ‘counts’ for carbon credits to build confidence in the voluntary carbon market (VCM), says the Climate Crisis Advisory Group (CCAG). Meanwhile, new US research challenges the current thinking on the ocean’s role in storing carbon and suggests proactive steps are needed to cut emissions now, rather than relying on these natural processes to ‘buy time’ to mitigate climate change.

The urgent need to reduce our energy demand

It’s a combination of reducing demand, together with broader social changes, that is needed for countries to deliver on net zero ambitions, writes John Barrett of the UK’s Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions (CREDS).

Carbon removal sector in danger of missing Paris Agreement goal

The global carbon removal industry is lagging behind where it needs to be in order to meet the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target, according to a new independent assessment. Meanwhile, the National Audit Office reports it is ‘critical’ that the UK government’s carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) programme succeeds if the country is to achieve its net zero by 2050 ambitions.

Aviation industry plans for growth are ‘irreconcilable’ with Europe’s climate goals, says new study

Passenger air traffic from EU airports will more than double in 2050 compared to 2019, if projections by aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing materialise, growth that is ‘irreconcilable’ with Europe’s climate goals. So finds a new study by Transport & Environment (T&E), which claims the region’s carbon budget could be depleted as early as 2026 as a result. Plus: SAF project investment is reviewed.
