- Wed 22:40Trade association builds a carbon portfolio - The environmental conservation organisation VitalEco is teaming with an Arizona trade association to launch a portfolio of carbon projects. The VitalEco Portfolio will allow the Arizona Technology Council’s 750 member companies to access a curated set of carbon removal and carbon avoidance options. The portfolio includes three categories: orphaned well plugging projects for methane emissions abatement, biochar and biogenic projects, and regenerative agriculture projects. VitalEco will also donate a portion of its proceeds from carbon credit sales back to the trade association.
- Wed 22:31Rising demand for high-integrity nature-based credits continues to support prices and increase the need for higher-quality data, with Earth observation (EO) and ground-based measurements being combined to verify carbon project outcomes, a webinar heard on Wednesday.
- Wed 22:21Forest carbon programmes are aiming to recruit small forest owners in Maine as economic pressures push many to timber their forests prematurely or sell land to developers, carbon developers said Wednesday.
- Wed 22:11Brazil’s national development bank has approved a R$300 million ($56.6 mln) investment in BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group's (BTG Pactual TIG) reforestation and restoration carbon credit strategy.

- Wed 13:03Europe’s domestic sustainable biomass resources appear sufficient to meet projected demand for advanced biofuel in transport for 2030 and 2050, but only if large volumes of energy crops on marginal land are mobilised, a new study has found.
- Wed 12:59Latin American carbon markets are welcoming new regulatory infrastructure, concrete state-led planning, and varied methodological offerings from standards based in the region.
- Wed 11:43Market labels that indicate eligibility for CORSIA or the Core Carbon Principles (CCP) are already driving the value of cookstove credits higher, and as the voluntary and regulated carbon markets increasingly converge, prices should only rise across the board, said analysts at an industry event in Barcelona.
- Wed 10:07Global nitrogen fertiliser production has increased 20% since 2009 despite scientists warning that use must decline sharply to bring pollution within planetary boundaries, a report said Wednesday.

Algorithm meets alfalfa – Google will provide over $2 mln to support Texas agriculture as part of its $40 bln AI data center investment through 2027, including a regenerative agriculture programme with Indigo Ag in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and an irrigation efficiency project with N-Drip in the Texas High Plains. The funding is part of Google's water security initiatives for three new data centers in Armstrong and Haskell counties. The facilities will use advanced air-cooling technology to limit water consumption to site operations only.
