BITE-SIZED UPDATES FROM AROUND THE WORLD
INTERNATIONAL
Hindsight hurdles – The lessons of the energy crisis following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are yet to be fully understood, said Fatih Birol, head of the IEA, ahead of a summit on energy security held in London this week hosted by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. There are three golden rules for energy security: diversification of supplies, sufficient political predictability, and global cooperation, Birol told the FT. However, European’s continued dependence on imported gas, widespread changes to energy subsidies in Europe and the US, and the trade war unleashed by US President Donald Trump will likely reduce cooperation. While the risks to energy supplies like extreme weather and cyber attacks are increasing. China is unable to attend the summit due to calendar reasons.
Empty pledges – The World Bank has failed to uphold its own climate rules for $2 bln worth of agricultural loans, a report by Stop Financing Factory Farming found. Of the 38 loans made between 2020 and 2025 to meat, dairy, and feed corporations by the World Bank’s private finance arm, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), none met the climate requirements set out by the organisation, the research disclosed. The authors said failing to properly enforce its own environmental policies helps to greenwash the polluting companies it lends to, leading to a huge waste of public finance. The study found no evidence that any of the companies receiving loans from the IFC had adhered to its requirement to address physical climate risks. Only five companies set out how they have or would reduce emissions, while 26 companies (68%) reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions, but only one company had set out a reduction target for its Scope 3 emissions.
EMEA
Sino-German CBAM policy suggestions – The EU’s carbon border tariff will not initially impact China’s largest province by GDP, Guangdong, but the region will start to feel the bite as the mechanism expands to cover indirect emissions and additional sectors, according to a joint Chinese-German report carried out by climate think tank the New Climate Institute and published on Wednesday. The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) gradual phase-in and its limited initial scope reduces its immediate impact. In order to mitigate CBAM’s impact and maintain global trade competitiveness, Guangdong-based companies and policymakers should accelerate their industrial decarbonisation and establish a CBAM-compatible carbon pricing system, the report says.
Rubber stamp – The DRC has officially established a multi-stakeholder consultation framework to advance the implementation of its landmark 2022 Law on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. This framework was formalised by the Ministry of the Interior, Security, Decentralisation and Customary Affairs earlier in April. Driven by local organisations such as the Dynamique des Groupes des Peuples Autochtones (DGPA), with backing from Rainforest Foundation UK, this initiative represents a significant milestone in turning the law into a tangible reality for Indigenous communities throughout the country. The framework unites 118 stakeholders – including government bodies, Indigenous leaders, civil society organisations, and international partners – to coordinate actions and offer strategic direction for the effective implementation of the law.
Amber light warning – Orsted’s shares dropped almost 10% on the first day of trading since the US government ordered a pause on the construction of Equinor’s Empire Wind project off Long Island. Denmark’s stock exchange has been closed for Easter since US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum posted on X about the order to halt construction on another offshore wind farm off the US. The move marks an escalation in President Donald Trump’s actions against US offshore wind, as the decision to pause a wind farm that was already under construction threatens two projects that Orsted is building in American waters. The Danish company is set to complete Revolution Wind off the coast of Rhode Island next year, while Sunrise Wind is scheduled for completion in 2027 near New York.
Hydrogen storage – Germany can meet future hydrogen storage needs entirely through salt caverns, which could also support European demand, the economy ministry (BMWK) said in a white paper. While Germany has ample salt formations suitable for large-scale hydrogen storage, the economy ministry ruled out using porous rock formations—mainly found in the south—due to technical uncertainties and limited experience with storing hydrogen in such sites. Hydrogen storage demand in Germany is projected to rise from 2–7 TWh in 2030 to up to 80 TWh by 2045, according to the white paper.
Coconuts to biochar – Truecoco Ghana has produced its first tonnes of biochar made using coconut husk waste, it announced on LinkedIn. It claims to be the first fully certified industrial project to use coconut husk globally for biochar, and the first certified industrial project in Ghana. The method will help to create additional revenues for smallholder farmers in Ghana and across West Africa.
Up and running – Paebbl has started up its demonstration plant for turning CO2 into construction materials, having completed the first 24-hour continuous production run on Mar. 26. The project was completed together with engineering companies Spie and Vicoma, plus financial support from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), the company said in a press release Tuesday. The demo plant uses olivine to permanently lock away CO₂, transforming it into supplementary cementitious materials. Cement accounts for over 8% of global CO2 emissions, with growing industry interest in emissions reductions levers.
Grounded flight – Aircraft manufacturer Airbus is pausing development of a hydrogen jet by as much as a decade, sources told the Wall Street Journal. The jet was targeted to launch by 2035, and the company had already spent more than $1.7 bln on the project. Airbus was exploring hydrogen fuel cells and the delay will offer more time to fine-tune the technology.
ASIA PACIFIC
Positive connection – Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank and RS Asset Advisors have established a new asset management firm for grid-scale battery energy storage systems, RSBM Corporation, they announced in a press release. This is in response to the Japanese government’s aim to increase the share of renewables in its energy mix to 50% by 2040, for which large-scale storage batteries will be critical, they said. According to the press release, RS Asset Advisors will select and develop the site, while Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank will provide the financial expertise.
Internal carbon pricing solution – Japan-based chemicals company Daicel has started using an internal carbon price, set at JPY 10,000 ($71.21) per tCO2e, the firm announced in a press release on Monday. This is part of its efforts to reach net zero emissions by 2050, including a 50% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030, compared with FY 2019 emissions. It will use the price to guide investment decision-making, as one indicator, it said. By contrast, J-Credits from renewable energy were trading around JPY 6,500 on Monday, according to the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and energy efficiency units were marked at JPY 4,100.
Green chips – Semiconductor giant TSMC has said it will peak emissions by 2025, reduce them to 2020 levels by 2030, and achieve net zero by 2050. It added that its reduction targets for Scope 1, 2, and 3 are aligned with SBTi’s Corporate Net-Zero Standard. The company has secured over 50 supplier commitments to its GHG reduction agreement, representing nearly 90% of its supply chain emissions. Earlier this year, TSMC teamed up with the government of Taichung city to implement a coastal afforestation project covering around 2.8 ha. It is estimated to generate at least 1,011 credits over the 30 years by planting nearly 45,000 trees.
Tread lightly – Malaysia’s environment minister, in an interview with Edge Malaysia, has advocated for a carbon tax that should start low and then increase gradually. The Southeast Asian country plans to introduce a carbon tax in 2026 on iron, steel, and energy industries. Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said the tax aims to support Malaysia’s net zero goals and shield exports from the EU’s CBAM.
Tick, tick – Australia’s Santos has received the final environmental tick needed from the offshore regulator for its high CO2 Barossa gas project. The CO2 will be dealt with via CCS at another depleted field but it needs regulatory approvals from two nations, which it is working towards. Should Santos start Barossa on time later this year it will meet emissions requirements with offsets. The Australian Conservation Foundation Tuesday called it “Australia’s dirtiest gas project” and said it should never have been approved.
The wait is over…almost – Malaysia’s National Climate Change Bill, expected to be itroduced to Parliament soon, was discussed at a meeting between Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and various cabinet ministers on Thursday, the Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said in a LinkedIn post. The bill will have provisions to unlock opportunities under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement and pave the way for a domestic ETS. As well, a Climate Change Fund and international trading of carbon credits will ensure that state governments benefit directly from mitigation and adaptation efforts, the minister said. The bill has drawn from global best practices such as the UK’s Climate Change Act and China’s ETS, he added.
AMERICAS
Dismissed – The White House asked a Democrat member of the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to step down, to leave a 2-2 partisan split that would allow President Donald Trump to tap a Republican commissioner, Politico reported. Commissioner Willie Phillips told Politico he was not surprised and had already planned to step down, effective immediately. Phillips chaired FERC during the Biden administration and had most recently pushed FERC to develop ways to connect data centres to the grid at a faster rate.
Let’s get this EITE – Washington’s Department of Ecology (ECY) is seeking input on no-cost allowance allocations for emissions-intensive, trade-exposed industries (EITEs) through 2035–50 under the state’s cap-and-trade programme. The agency is tasked with preparing a report to the state legislature detailing the best course of action on such allocations, and commenced early discussions in 2024. ECY said it would publish draft materials on May 1 for public feedback through summer 2025 with a goal to submit the report to the legislature by December. ECY is hosting several meetings to discuss key topics related to EITE allocations, the first of which is scheduled to take place on May 1 after draft materials are released.
Amendments aye’d – Amendments to Washington’s House Bill 1975 (HB 1975) and House Bill (HB 1409), both of which passed the state Senate earlier this month, were approved by their chamber of origin this week. The amended HB 1975, which revises the cap-and-trade programme’s price ceiling and Allowance Price Containment Reserve (APCR) thresholds, passed the House on an 83-13 vote. Meanwhile, the revised HB 1409, which tightens Washington’s Clean Fuel Standard (WCFS) stringency, was approved on a 54-43 margin. The bills are now headed to Governor Bob Ferguson’s (D) desk.
Once burned – Mast Reforestation, which sequesters carbon by burying fire-damaged trees to prevent the release of CO2, announced on Apr. 18 that it’s breaking ground in the first phase of its excavation and biomass burial for a Montana project listed with Puro.earth. The credits for the project, which seeks to durably sequester more than 5,000 tonnes of burned trees from the 2021 Poverty Flats Fire, can be retired by Q4 of this year. The burned biomass will be covered with soil by mid-May. Mast secured $25 mln in Series B funding in February to expand its biomass burial operations.
US EV evolution – According to a report published Tuesday by data platform Paren, EV charging station and port utilisation rates decreased 0.4 percentage points QoQ to 16.2% in Q1. While the overall trend of utilisation is increasing significantly, the Q1 period typically sees a slow-down due to reduced long-distance travel, the report noted. There was also a somewhat typical seasonal decline in both the opening of new fast charging ports and stations. However, this included a pullback by Tesla, while non-Tesla ports per station increased to 3.9 during Q1 from 2.7 at the end of Dec. 2024. Total stations increased by nearly 800 to around 10,800, while US DC fast charging ports increased by almost 3,700 to just under 55,600. California had among the highest average cost per kWh by state that non-member EV drivers pay for fast charging across stations with four or more ports of 100 kW or higher at 60 cents/kWh, on par with Hawaii and Connecticut, compared to the US average of 54 cents/kWh. Vermont averaged 62 cents/kWh and Wyoming 61 cents/kWh, while EV charging in Iowa was the cheapest at 39 cents/kWh. During Q1, the average US reliability score increased to 82.6 from 81.2 in the prior quarter.
Hello EVs – Meal kit provider HelloFresh has partnered with EV manufacturer Rivian Automotive to incorporate 70 all-electric Rivian Commercial Vans into its fleet. The pair estimates this collaboration to have saved 200 t of carbon and 20,000 gal (75,700 litres) of gasoline across 14 US markets. (The EV Report)
VOLUNTARY
Wet and dry – GCC has launched a public consultation for its new ‘Rewetting of Dried Peatlands’ methodology (GCCMA003), open from Apr. 17 to May 17. This framework quantifies GHG emission reductions from peatland rewetting, based on recent peer-reviewed research, the Gulf-based standard said. Key features include water-table-depth-based stratification and modeling for CO2 and methane emissions, along with tools to manage project risks and uncertainties.
Teaming up – Residual has joined the Puro.earth network as an official project development partner, the companies announced this week. Residual specialises in de-risking carbon removal projects through ratings optimisation, insurance integration, and project design.
Carbon insights for all – Pachama has opened up its carbon project insight platform to serve more players across the carbon market, it said on LinkedIn. The development allows users to source insights from hundreds of carbon projects, conduct deep diligence in a matter of days, and track project progress over time in one place.
Biomass removals – Carbonfuture has announced a partnership with Biomass Projects Australia to provide third party monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) for the Mardie project in Western Australia that will transform invasive mesquite into biomass carbon removal, delivering over 500,000 tonnes of durable CDR annually by 2028. The partnership should enable the developer to ensure their credits meet the high quality levels demanded by buyers, said the announcement on LinkedIn. The invasion of the mesquite plant lowers groundwater levels, crowds out native plants, and poses danger due to its sharp spikes — removing mesquite will therefore help to restore water tables and natural habitats.
Climate with a K – DKSH has partnered with Klimate to purchase carbon removal credits from two projects: one direct air capture activity in Kenya and one biochar production facility in Thailand. The partnerships come as part of DKSH’s broader net zero strategy, which includes optimising transport, increasing energy efficiency, and adopting electric vehicles, as the company aims for a 70% emissions cut from 2020 levels by 2027. No financial or carbon credit volume details were provided.
Ad emissions – Advertising platform LoopMe has partnered with carbon intelligence platform Cedara to create a sustainable advertising ecosystem. The partnership sees LoopMe integrate Cedara’s platform to allow clients to understand the carbon footprint of their media campaigns, and compensate emissions through Cedara’s offset marketplace of removals and avoidance projects. The two will also collaborate on the continued measurement and optimization of LoopMe’s Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions at an organizational level.
AND FINALLY…
If I were a bird – Swedish commuters are getting around via electric ferries that can fly across the surface of water, The Washington Post reports. Stockholm’s public transport system is newly host to a soaring ship, which rises above the water on a set of underwater wings, known as hydrofoils. The P-12 ferry, created by shipbuilder Candela, can travel faster than diesel ferries while using less energy and 98% fewer carbon emissions, according to an independent analysis from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden.
