    Insurance impasse - A Hawaii Senate committee voted 9-4 to reject legislation that would have required fossil fuel companies to help cover rising property-insurance costs linked to climate-related disasters, after opposition from the American Petroleum Institute (API), E&E News reported. The measure, sponsored by state Senator Jarrett Keohokalole (D), sought to hold oil and gas firms financially responsible for insurance rate increases following climate-driven damage in the state. Keohokalole said he was shocked the bill failed in the Senate Ways and Means Committee, where Democrats hold 12 of 13 seats and the chair had recommended passage. He said lawmakers had met with API representatives to discuss the group’s objections before the committee vote.
  • Tue 22:37
    US grid priority - Utilize, a new coalition of companies that includes Google and Tesla, would work with state lawmakers, regulators, and utilities to improve grid operations and affordability amid data centre electricity concerns, according to Axios. The coalition has already helped usher in a bill that would require major utilities to spell out how much of the grid is being used and incorporate those metrics into State Corporation Commission plans and reviews in Virginia.
  • Tue 22:36
    Canadian voices - Canadian bank major RBC Climate Action Institute has released a What We Heard report outlining key discussion points amid its work to draw up its annual climate action report. During engagement, RBC said it heard: climate ambitions are being reset with a focus on what’s doable; there’s plenty of climate capital, but the challenge is deploying it; policy friction and geopolitical uncertainty threatens Canadian climate competitiveness; a national electricity strategy requires a major shift in priorities; too many shovel-ready carbon removal solutions are waiting to scale; and capitalising on climate-conscious consumers is critical to decarbonisation.
  • Tue 22:36
    Clean air conundrum – Experts say the Clean Air Act was never designed to address climate change, even though the 2007 Massachusetts v. EPA ruling confirmed the US EPA could regulate GHG under the statute, E&E News reported. Lawyers involved in the case said the authority was seen as a temporary “Plan B” meant to push Congress toward comprehensive climate legislation. While the EPA later used the law to regulate emissions from vehicles, power plants, and oil and gas, efforts to curb power-sector emissions were repeatedly undermined by legal challenges and political turnover.
  • Tue 22:35
    Toronto's largest emitter extended - Toronto residents and doctors are opposing a 20-year extension of the city’s largest gas plant and largest source of GHG emissions, according to a report by Canada’s National Observer. The licence extension allows the Portlands Gas Plant to continue operating until 2046.
  • Tue 22:35
    Portable petrol – The US Pentagon is backing a startup developing mobile fuel-production units that convert CO2 into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for military vehicles, a technology aimed at reducing the need to transport petroleum through vulnerable supply convoys in war zones, E&E News reported. Brooklyn-based AirCo said its container-sized systems can manufacture hundreds or thousands of gallons of synthetic fuel each month for drones, aircraft, boats, or ground vehicles and could be deployed at military bases worldwide as early as next year. CEO Gregory Constantine said the company has opened a manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania to produce the units. The announcement comes as oil markets face renewed volatility amid escalating conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran.
  • Tue 22:34
    Rose-coloured data CAPP - Canada’s oil and gas sector appears to be pushing Ottawa to rely on Alberta’s measurement of methane emissions, according to Canada’s National Observer. The outlet reported the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) insists the federal government rely on the province’s emissions data in a late January letter to Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin. Under Alberta data, the sector would need to reduce methane emissions by 3.5 MtCO2e, versus 8 MtCO2e via federal data.
  • Tue 22:33
    Banking backtrack – Senate Democrats are seeking to reinstate Biden-era banking guidance on climate risk after federal regulators under the Trump administration rescinded the policy in Oct. 2025, E&E News reported. A resolution introduced by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), the ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), the ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, would use the Congressional Review Act to overturn the rollback. The measure, S.J.Res.113, targets the withdrawal of supervisory guidance issued in 2023 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which instructed large financial institutions with more than $100 bln in assets to manage climate-related financial risks and promoted a “consistent understanding of the effective management" of these risks across the sector.

  • Tue 21:43
    Article 6 eyes Lahore – Stakeholders gathered in Lahore in February to consult on a methane capture project at the Lakhodair landfill that aims to generate carbon credits under Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement. The landfill, operational since 2016, receives up to 5,500 tonnes of municipal solid waste per day and has accumulated an estimated 18 mln tonnes of waste. The proposed landfill gas collection and utilisation system would convert captured methane into usable energy products while generating mitigation outcomes. The project is being developed under the Germany-backed SPAR6C programme, which aims to prepare up to three Article 6 pilot projects in Pakistan by 2027. Proposed benefit-sharing measures include local infrastructure improvements, skill development, health initiatives, and formal integration of informal waste workers.
  • Tue 21:38
    A neighbour plead – Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo (R) urged his California counterparty, Gavin Newsom (D), on Monday to direct the state's regulator ARB to weigh the regional consequences of its draft cap-and-invest regulation update before finalising it, according to a letter published by KCRA3. Lombardo warned that additional refinery closures in California could destabilise fuel supply across the US Southwest, adding that Nevada is structurally dependent on the Golden State for a significant portion of its gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, with no readily available alternative supply network. He warned that increased reliance on marine imports would expose Nevada to international supply disruptions, port congestion, and geopolitical instability. Lombardo said he has established a Nevada Fuel Resiliency Committee to identify vulnerabilities in the state's fuel delivery system.
  • Tue 21:36
    Mill removals – Canadian carbon management firm Svante said on Tuesday that its BECCS project at a Southeast US paper mill has moved into the feasibility stage, following earlier screening across several facilities. The project aims to capture and permanently store more than 500,000 tonnes of biogenic CO2 per year from the mill’s recovery boiler and generate CDR credits for sale to VCM buyers. It is being advanced by Svante and an unnamed integrated sustainable packaging company, with a Svante subsidiary co-investing in the study phase.

    A group of Democratic assemblymembers urged California regulator ARB to reconsider elements of its proposed cap-and-invest programme update they said would impose disproportionate compliance costs on trade-exposed industries, local media reported.
  • Tue 16:48
    Cap-and-leave? - US oil refiner Marathon Petroleum warned California regulator ARB that proposed amendments to the state's cap-and-invest programme would make in-state refining operations unviable, according to a letter reported by KCRA3. The company said the amendments would widen an existing cost gap between California refiners and fuel importers. It argued that curtailing in-state production would shift fuel supply to refineries in other states and countries with less stringent regulations, increasing global GHG emissions. Marathon said it employs more than 2,000 workers in California and contracted around 5,300 full-time-equivalent contractors. The company also warned that reduced in-state refining would threaten jet and diesel fuel supply to US military installations along the West Coast. The letter echoes concerns shared by PBF Energy and Chevron last week.
  • Tue 16:17
    The supply of carbon credits for Phase 1 of the aviation offsetting scheme CORSIA reached more than 32 million as of early March, according to a new International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) dashboard that tracks eligible credits, while prices have slipped to their lowest levels in over a year.

  • Tue 15:05
    Cost gap - The EU's carbon border fee could cost Montenegro up to €191 mln annually, according to state-controlled power producer EPCG. Cross-border electricity trade is the top export item in the country's external trade balance - comprising more than 35% of total exports. EPCG generates 45% of its electricity output in Montenegro's sole coal-fired power plant TE Pljevlja, and pays €24/tonne under the country's national ETS, whereas the EU ETS price is trading around €70/t - meaning that exporting electricity produced using coal carries a significant financial impact. The CBAM tariff is formally paid by EU importers, but it will still have an impact on the purchase price, will reduce competitiveness, and ultimately curb producers' revenue, said EPCG. Last December, Montenegro said it was in talks with the Commission to find a more flexible CBAM implementation model, considering its expected power market coupling with the EU. (SeeNews)
  • Tue 15:04
    A clean cookstove developer is looking to boost the supply of carbon credits into the first phase of the aviation offsetting scheme CORSIA, after being granted the right to sell 5.2 million credits internationally by Nigeria under Article 6 rules, it announced Tuesday.

  • Tue 14:05
    A group of 77 companies, industry associations, and civil society organisations is urging EU leaders to maintain an ambitious and timely rollout of the bloc's second Emissions Trading System (ETS2), warning that further delays could undermine climate goals and weaken investor confidence.
  • Tue 13:39
    Bigger picture - Europe should reorient its climate policy from a focus on its own carbon footprint towards catalysing international cooperation, argued three economists from Europe and the US - Christian Gollier, Axel Ockenfels, and Catherine Wolfram - in an article for Le Monde. At a time when European climate strategy has become politically fragile and increasingly hard to defend economically, they say that climate cooperation with global partners can significantly cut the costs of putting national industry at a competitive disadvantage while boosting climate action effects. The EU's carbon border fee is leading countries like the UK, Australia, Canada, and Turkey to price carbon domestically to avoid giving carbon revenues to Europe through their exports.
  • Tue 13:26
    Asia’s share of global voluntary carbon credit supply has fallen in recent years even as demand for high-quality offsets remains, a webinar heard Tuesday, with governments and companies pointing towards jurisdictional forest programmes to unlock supply.

    Spiralling impacts - Israel's bombing of oil infrastructure in Iran will have long-term environmental impacts, as well as health repercussions for Iranian people, experts have warned. Damage to petroleum facilities includes the Shahran oil depot north-east of Tehran and the Shahr-e fuel depot to its south, which continued to burn on Monday, two days after they were bombed by Israeli warplanes. The World Health Organisation has warned the damage risks contaminating food, water, and air, with potential severe health impacts particularly for the vulnerable, while soil and water supplies around Tehran are already starting to be contaminated. Efforts by the Conflict and Environment Observatory to track the environmental harm caused by the Middle East conflict are becoming increasingly difficult. The organisation has seen an expansion of targets into civilian and dual-use facilities, bringing with it a range of environmental and public health risks. (the Guardian)

    Record Dutch power - Dutch electricity production was up 10% year-on-year in 2025, reported Statistics Netherlands (CBS), the country's national statistics office, on Monday. Thanks in part to solar power (17% growth), but natural gas (11%) and coal (25%) also grew their output last year. Total production hit a new record with 132  bln kWh electricity. The growth in fossil fuels came after a steady decrease over previous years, CBS noted. Nevertheless, as in 2024, renewables dominated the power mix, up 6% on 2024 to make up 49% of electricity production in 2025, compared to fossil fuel's 48% (nuclear made up the remainder). Coal was still down 70% on 2015 and renewables up by almost a factor of five. Overall growth was driven by demand in neighbouring countries: exports also hit a new record, growing by 25% to reach 30 bln kWh, mainly to Germany and Belgium. This was mainly due to low wind on the north German coast and low water levels (i.e. hydropower) in Switzerland and Austria, CBS said. Total electricity use in the Netherlands - electrification is considered critical to decarbonisation - was largely unchanged. (CBS press release)

    Swiss BECCS milestone - A CO2 transport agreement between CO2 Energie AG - a joint venture between RegionalWerke AG Baden and Recycling Energie AG - and international logistics company Hoyer Group completes the first cross-European BECCS value chain for a Swiss carbon removal project, announced coordinating and advisory partner Airfix on Monday. Contracts for the capture, transport, and permanent storage of CO2 are now all in place, and move the project from development to execution, the BECCS specialist said, "proving that cross-border CO2 transport and storage for small and medium-sized emitters is bankable and scalable". From summer 2026, CO2 captured from Switzerland's largest biogas plant, near Niederwil, will be liquified, and transported by truck and rail to Denmark for permanent offshore storage in Ineos's Project Greensand Future. The project's monetisation relies on long-term offtake agreements for the resulting carbon removal credits, notably a CHF 10 mln commitment out to 2030 from the Climate Cent Foundation. Approximately 4,250 tonnes of CO2 will be transported per year; emissions from that transport are fully accounted for in the project's carbon accounting framework, Airfix said (Press release)
  • Tue 11:08
    A growing wave of climate lawsuits around the world is reshaping the legal landscape of green governance, but researchers have warned that the true impact of these cases remains largely unknown due to a lack of systematic evaluation.
  • Tue 11:03
    Carbon pricing is well-placed to continue playing a central role in the European Union’s climate strategy and could generate substantial public revenue while keeping economic disruption limited, according to a new paper from the International Monetary Fund, which comes amid rising pressure to bring down costs in the bloc's Emissions Trading System (ETS).
  • Tue 10:31
    CCUS effort - Thailand's cement industry group has teamed up with several partners to accelerate the implementation of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) technologies in the country. The Thai Cement Manufacturers Association (TCMA) has secured partnerships with Canada's Saskatchewan government and the University of Regina, Bangkok Post reported. CCUS is considered a critical solution to achieving the industry's 2050 net zero target, given that more than 45% of targeted GHG reductions cannot be achieved through conventional measures alone, according to TCMA.

    Conserving -  Several Asian governments have begun rolling out fuel-saving measures as the Middle East conflict pushes up oil prices and raises supply concerns, according to multiple media reports. Thailand has ordered many civil servants to work from home and adopt electricity-saving practices, including limits on air-conditioning and reduced travel. Vietnam has urged businesses to allow remote working to curb transport fuel demand, while Pakistan has shut schools and universities and introduced a four-day work week to cut energy use. Bangladesh has also closed schools to conserve fuel and power. Meanwhile, the Philippines has directed government agencies to reduce fuel and electricity consumption by up to 20%.

    Residual emissions - Southeast Asia's largest bank DBS in its sustainability report said it prioritises real-economy decarbonisation through sustainable and transition finance, with more than $102 bln in sustainable financing extended as of 2025. The bank added that rather than relying heavily on offsets, its strategy focuses on supporting clients’ transition plans and measurable emissions reductions, with carbon markets and related financial services treated mainly as enabling tools. For its own operations, DBS is working toward operational net zero by 2050, and is looking at nature- and tech-based carbon credits to offset residual emissions after its  efforts to decarbonise operations have been exhausted.
  • Tue 06:05
    Too pricey - Rising crude oil prices linked to the ongoing Middle East conflict could boost demand for palm oil from the biodiesel sector, as the commodity is now trading at a significant discount to gasoil, Reuters reported. Higher oil prices and freight costs have made palm oil more attractive as a biofuel feedstock, pushing prices to their highest level in over a year. Indonesia, the world’s largest user of palm oil-based biodiesel, may revisit plans to introduce a B50 biodiesel blend later this year to counter rising fuel costs. Crude oil benchmarks briefly touched $120 per barrel on Monday as the conflict shows no signs of letting up. The prices have since fallen after US President Donald Trump said the war could end soon. But a sustained policy shift towards higher biodiesel blends would likely require palm oil to remain consistently cheaper than gasoil.

    Catalysing catalyst – UK-based start-up COOloop has secured £150,000 in seed  funding from VC fund Carbon13 Ventures to commercialise technology which originated at Australia’s Monash University, the institution said in an emailed press release on Tuesday. The company’s Metal-Organic Framework catalyst converts captured CO2 and renewable hydrogen into acetic acid, a key chemical used in plastics, textiles, paints, adhesives, and food products, and which is usually produced from fossil fuels, Monash said. As well as the potential to eliminate millions of tonnes of GHG emissions, the tech can remain cost-and scale-competitive with traditional methods, the university added.

    Not driving good – Lawyers for Climate Action NZ has filed a complaint with the Advertising Standards Authority alleging that Mazda New Zealand is misleading customers with its claim that its tree-planting programme is mitigating the emissions impacts of cars sold. The car company’s website claims that it financially supports the planting of five natives for every new car sold, however the NGO said that analysis showed that the five trees barely offsets any of the vehicle’s emissions. It added that Mazda should either increase the number of tree plantings it is funding or re-word its website to avoid greenwashing.

    Target met – Vancouver-based methanol supplier Methanex has met its 2030 emissions reduction target, to cut its Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity by 10% compared with 2019 levels, it said in its 2025 Sustainability Report, released Friday. Steps taken include the purchase of renewable energy, investing in energy efficiency improvements, and a change in catalyst, it said. Emissions also fell due to reduced production at its New Zealand plant, the company added, which was a result of gas supply shortages. Methanex is considering the use of CCUS, and producing biomethanol or e-methanol as other alternatives to reduce its emissions further, it said.
