BITE-SIZED UPDATES FROM AROUND THE WORLD

ASIA PACIFIC

First geothermal project – Google has signed its first geothermal energy deal in Asia, which will add 10 MW of “always on” power to its local data centres and offices, it announced Tuesday. A corporate power purchase agreement has been inked between the tech giant and Baseload Capital for sourcing geothermal energy in Taiwan. Google also said it aims to catalyse untapped geothermal markets and replicate the experiences across the Asia-Pacific region, such as Japan and Indonesia.

Not good enough – The climate and nature crises have hardly been mentioned by the two major parties at Australia’s upcoming election, according to a scoreboard published by the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) to assess candidates’ related policies. While Labor was recognised for its work on the clean energy and clean manufacturing transition and its strong stance against nuclear power, it lost points for its commitment to expanding the coal and gas industries, ACF said. Meanwhile, the Coalition’s score reflects its preference for gas and nuclear energy over renewables.

More products – HKEX, which operates Hong Kong’s major exchange, said it will explore potential new products for its carbon trading platform Core Climate, according to newspaper the Standard. Core Climate, currently offering trading of international voluntary credits, aims to expand the market ecosystem and provide more options for market participants, HKEX chief sustainability officer Paul Chow Koon-ying said.

Switch and save – Singapore will allow households to claim up to S$400 ($304) in vouchers to purchase energy and water-efficient appliances, authorities said Monday. The scheme has also expanded to include households in private properties for the first time, on top of households in public housing units, where about 80% of Singaporean residents live. They can now claim an additional S$100 on top of the existing S$300. The vouchers can be redeemed at 180 retailers across more than 500 outlets, the National Environment Agency said.

EMEA

Grids for e-trucks – The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) has urged public authorities to speed up deployment of recharging infrastructure for heavy-duty vehicles to support the transition to low-emission mobility. “A fit-for-purpose charging network for heavy-duty vehicles is essential to decarbonise road transport. But without a future-ready grid, this transition simply will not happen,” ACEA said. Under new EU rules adopted last year, heavy-duty trucks will have to emit 90% less CO2 on average as of 2040 compared to 2019 levels, with intermediary targets for 2030 and 2035. Those who fail to comply will face steep fines of €4,250 per gCO2/tkm, starting from 2025. On Tuesday, ACEA published a joint paper with trade association Eurelectric, calling for faster deployment of power grids and charging infrastructure networks for heavy-duty vehicles, particularly along main transport corridors, and key urban and depot locations. Policy recommendations include streamlining permitting processes, greater transparency in grid planning, anticipatory investments, as well as flexible connection models. It also emphasises the need to enable megawatt charging (MCS) and to ensure electricity pricing supports the competitiveness of zero-emission trucks and buses.

Going down – In 2023, Switzerland’s GHG emissions reached 40.8 mln tonnes of CO2e —nearly 1 mln less than in 2022, according to official final statistics released Tuesday. Overall, emissions are 26% lower than in 1990. This figure is based on the annual greenhouse gas inventory published by the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN). The largest decrease in GHG emissions compared to the previous year was recorded in the industrial sector, followed by the building sector. Emissions related to transport and agriculture remained the same as in 2022.

Fresh funding  Dublin-based XFuel has secured €7.7 mln in blended finance from the European Innovation Council to commercialise its chemical liquid refining (CLR) technology, which converts hydrocarbon waste into ultra-clean, low-carbon transport fuels. The initial focus is on producing marine gasoil (MGO) from sludge, with estimated lifecycle emissions reductions of up to 85% under the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II) framework. The company aims to offer a cost-competitive drop-in alternative to fossil fuels for hard-to-abate transport sectors, including maritime, road, and aviation.

Land of opportunity – France’s TotalEnergies plans to stay the course on its expansion plans in Germany, welcoming the CDU/CSU and SDP coalition deal that will continue to back the expansion of renewables and introduce new gas-fired power plants and battery storage. Germany’s phase-out of nuclear and coal-fired power opens “great growth prospects, and not just for renewable energies”, Sophie Chevalier, head of flexible power and integration at TotalEnergies, told the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The French energy company is confident of its position in the tender for up to 20 GW of new gas-fired power plant capacity that is set to be built across Germany by 2030. In 2023, TotalEnergies acquired Germany’s renewable energy marketer, Quadra Energy, and last year bought Munich-based battery storage developer Kyon Energy. The French company also runs around 7,000 charging points in Germany and recently acquired concessions for offshore wind farms with a total net capacity of 6.5 GW in the German North and Baltic Seas.

EPH’s next stop: gas – Czech energy company EPH’s corporate restructuring strategy is a “greenwash” of its image for investors, while the company continues to profit from coal and gas, according to the campaign group Beyond Fossil Fuels. In its assessment of EPH’s transition plans, Beyond Fossil Fuels found that EPH lacks a commitment to phase out coal in Europe by 2030, and insists on developing new fossil fuel gas-fired power capacity — in contradiction to the company’s claims that it supports the European energy transition. The Czech company plans to double its gas power capacity to over 19 GW across Europe, and does not have a plan to phase out gas, the campaign group said. EPH has also “reshuffled” its assets to sister company EP Energy Transition, making it look like it’s phasing out coal while continuing to profit from it.

Resilience – The EU Commission has invested €86 mln in new Strategic Integrated Projects focusing on improving water quality and availability, cleaning up polluted rivers, improving fire and flood protection, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The selected projects are located in Denmark, Estonia, Poland, Slovenia, and Iceland.

State aid – The EU Commission has approved a €400 mln scheme to support the production of renewable hydrogen through the European Hydrogen Bank’s Auctions-as-a-Service tool for the auction closing in 2025. The aid will take the form of a direct grant per kilogram of renewable hydrogen produced, and will be granted for a maximum duration of 10 years. Beneficiaries will have to prove compliance with EU criteria for the production of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs). This includes contributing to the deployment or financing of the additional renewable electricity which is needed to produce the hydrogen supported under the scheme.

More consultation – In an update late on Tuesday, the UK ETS Authority confirmed that it had now included in the consultation on the inclusion of maritime an updated maritime emissions pathway in line with the Maritime Decarbonisation Strategy, which includes this updated sectoral emissions pathway, published in March. In the strategy, the analytical annex on pages 35-36 outlines this pathway. The Authority now also invites stakeholders to submit views on the updated indicative cap adjustment pathway by the end of April.

AMERICAS

Petrol pushback – The American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, an organisation representing major oil and gas companies such as Chevron and Exxon Mobil, launched an advertising campaign on Monday targeting California’s vehicle emissions rules. The eight-figure campaign includes TV, digital, and print ads in Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington, aiming to influence congressional lawmakers. Specific ads are directed at Democrats, including Rep. Angie Craig of Minnesota, urging them to oppose California’s under fire mandate on electric vehicles and support what the industry calls “vehicle freedom.”

Nuclear needed – A new analysis by global professional services firm Deloitte highlights nuclear energy as a viable solution to meet the projected surge in US electricity demand driven by the rapid expansion of data centres. Deloitte estimates that data centre power needs could increase five-fold by 2035, reaching 176 GW. According to the company, nuclear energy—which already supplied over 19% of US electricity in 2024—offers consistent baseload power, high energy density, low operational emissions, and limited land use, making it well-suited for supporting large-scale digital infrastructure. The report outlines strategies to expand capacity, including relicencing existing reactors, restarting closed plants, building new reactors on existing sites, and deploying small modular reactors, which could offer lower costs and shorter construction timelines. Deloitte estimates that with sufficient investment, nuclear could supply up to 10% of the additional data centre demand over the next decade.

FOIA foibles – Arizona based non-profit, the Center for Biological Diversity, sued the EPA on Monday, after filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on Feb. 20 and receiving no records for 37 days. The public is entitled to a response within 20 business days under FOIA. The Center requested the information to fully understand the EPA’s reasoning for reversing their finding that GHGs threaten public health. The EPA sent an email to the Center on Mar. 26 claiming “unusual circumstances” as a reason for the delayed response, but the suit claims that the EPA has provided no lawful basis to withhold the records.

Make amends – Trade associations Growth Energy and Clean Fuels Alliance America on Tuesday filed a reply brief in a case against the US EPA for its alleged failure to reallocate gallons lost due to small refinery exemptions (SREs) granted after renewable volume obligations (RVOs) were issued under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The case, filed with the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, seeks to account for SREs issued by the EPA in prior years, as current regulations require the agency to only project future SREs while establishing RVOs. In their latest brief, the groups argued that the EPA ignored “the excess carryover RINs created by past retroactive exemptions”, hindering the efficacy of future standards and impeding the attainment of overall volumes under RFS. The biofuels industry has long advocated against SREs, as analysts have told Carbon Pulse that the exemptions lead to a reduction in RVOs, providing less funding to biofuel producers and weakening demand. The DC Circuit Court last year rejected the agency’s decision to deny SREs in 2022.

Powering progress – Expander Energy, a Calgary-based energy technology company, announced it will proceed with the Carseland Bio-Synfuels Project following Cielo Waste Solutions’ decision to shift focus to a green hydrogen initiative. The project expects to integrate Expander’s existing Natural Gas to Liquids facility, a new biomass gasifier, hydrogen purification unit, and isomerisation unit to produce Bio-SynDiesel, Bio-SynJet, Arctic Diesel, and Synthetic Kerosene. Expander has secured biomass feedstock supply and received approval for a renewable synthetic diesel fuel code from British Columbia’s Low Carbon Fuels Branch. Regulatory and commercial arrangements are being reinstated in preparation for construction.

Carbon to combat – Airco, a US-based synthetic fuel technology company, announced the successful completion of fuel demonstrations in partnership with the US Department of Defense and the Defense Innovation Unit, testing its AIRMADE synthetic fuel, derived from CO2, in air, land, and sea vehicles. The tests showed performance comparable to traditional fossil fuels, demonstrating the feasibility of CO2-based fuels for defence and commercial use, the firm said.

VOLUNTARY

Procedure pivot – Verra released Tuesday updated guidance documents for proponents wishing to apply the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) Core Carbon Principles (CCP) to Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) generated by their projects. The updated guidance requires project proponents to submit a verification report checklist for validation/verification bodies (VVBs) to assess CCP label eligibility. Proponents may request CCP labels during a project’s verification approval request, or at any time thereafter. Projects that intend to request CCP labels must have the completed checklist included as an appendix to the project’s verification report. Verra will automatically apply CCP labels to eligible VCUs where projects use an ICVCM-approved methodology and sufficient information is available to confirm eligibility at the time of issuance. However, in cases where sufficient information is not available or the project has changed the methodology/methodology version it is using for past verification periods to an ICVCM-approved methodology or iteration, instructions are provided for requesting a CCP label. The updated version of the guidance is effective for verification approval requests received on or after July 15, 2025.

Biochar credits – French sustainability ratings agency EcoVadis has purchased biochar carbon removal credits from Spanish producer Euthenia via the Supercritical marketplace. The credits, derived from olive waste in Andalusia, support long-term carbon sequestration and soil health. Financial details and the amount of credits purchased were not disclosed.

Countryside carbon capture – ​Farmblox, an agricultural technology company headquartered in Worcester, Massachusetts, and Eion, a carbon removal firm based in Princeton, New Jersey, have partnered to implement a carbon monitoring initiative across more than 10,000 acres (4,000 ha) in Virginia. The project utilises Farmblox’s soil sensors to assess effectiveness of enhanced rock weathering, a method employed by Eion in an attempt to sequester CO2. The collaboration aims to provide continuous monitoring of the amount of carbon in the soil, facilitating farmer participation in carbon markets.​

More trees, please – Andriaki Shipping, an international shipping company based in Greece, and Arbor Day Carbon, a wholly owned subsidiary of the US-based non-profit Arbor Day Foundation, partnered over the past year to support verified carbon credit generation and reforestation in the Mississippi River Alluvial Valley. Together with partner GreenTrees, they planted 1 mln native trees on degraded land across Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, restoring areas previously cleared for agriculture. GreenTrees, the world’s largest verified reforestation carbon credit programme by credits issued, executed the project with local landowners.

AND FINALLY…

Crystallise to decarbonise – Researchers from Tohoku University, Hokkaido University, and AZUL Energy, a Japanese clean energy technology company, have developed a high-efficiency method for converting CO2 into carbon monoxide (CO), a key component in synthetic fuel production. Using cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc), a low-cost metal complex, the researchers created a crystalline catalyst layer by spraying it onto gas diffusion electrodes—a process that they claim reduced fabrication time from 24 hours to 15 minutes. The system demonstrated stable performance for 144 hours under industrial current densities and surpassed previously reported Pc-based catalysts. The researchers expect that this approach could reduce costs and energy use for CO2 electroreduction, offering a viable path forward for carbon capture and utilisation technologies.
