BHP recently announced a five-year, $400 million USD Climate Investment Program that will develop technologies for emission reduction in its own operations and those generated from the use of its resources.“Over the next five years this program will scale up low carbon technologies critical to the decarbonization of our operations.

Robert Bosch GmbH announced a sweeping plan to completely eliminate emissions that will impact 400 sites worldwide. The company intends to become carbon neutral by next year, starting a race for companies to start using more green power, ramp up energy savings and offset emissions.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is doing away with a policy that allows pollution enforcement officials to drop in unannounced for inspections at power and chemical plants.In a July 11 memo shared with EPA, regional administrators outlined a new enforcement policy that would do away with surprise inspections tactics.The new policy would stop agency officials from conducting inspections at facilities without giving prior notice to the states involved, as a way to increase communication between agencies, states, and regulatory bodies.“A ‘no surprises' principle is the foundation of joint work planning and will minimize the misunderstandings that can be caused by the lack of regular, bilateral communication,” wrote Susan Bodine, Assistant Administrator for Enforcement and Compliance Assistance in the memo.
