Electrifying the River Thames

The River Thames remains pivotal to London’s commerce and transportation: it accounts for most of the UK’s inland waterway traffic and Thames passenger numbers have more than doubled in the past decade. This leads to environmental pressures and a new way of regarding the river as a conduit for energy, or even as an energy source itself, writes Toby Clark.

CO₂ injection begins at Italy’s first CCS project

Eni and Snam have begun injecting CO₂ into a depleted gas reservoir off the coast of Ravenna, in what is Italy’s first carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. Meanwhile, a new report suggests that CO₂ utilisation deployment in carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) projects is being hindered by high costs and insufficient subsidies.

The long game of decarbonisation finance

The traditional approach of pursuing quick-win, low-cost carbon reduction projects at specific sites or facilities might provide incremental progress, but it often leaves high-impact sustainability projects requiring significant upfront capital on the back burner.
