India’s success in connecting its largest domestically-built nuclear reactor to the grid is a boost for plans to deploy the technology to help the world’s third-biggest polluter limit emissions, according to the official overseeing the plans.

The Environmental Partnership announced the launch of its latest performance program, which is focused on reducing flaring in upstream operations.

According to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data through August and EIA estimates for September through December carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the U.S.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has proposed a policy statement to clarify that it has jurisdiction over organized wholesale electric market rules that incorporate a state-determined carbon price in those markets.

The Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) is pleased to announce it has awarded a carbon dioxide (CO2) appraisal and storage license (CS licence) to Eni UK Limited (Eni).

MIT offers a means of continuously removing carbon dioxide from a stream of waste gases with a new membrane. The gas permeability of the electrochemically assisted membrane can be switched on and off as needed without the use of mechanical moving parts and with minimal energy consumption.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has finalized its proposal to revise the 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A General Provisions to include requirements for facilities that want to reclassify from a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) to an area source.

The Australian government will prioritize investment in five low-emission technologies to reduce greenhouse gas pollution, while continuing to avoid putting a price on carbon.Hydrogen produced from renewables, electricity storage, low-carbon steel and aluminum production, carbon capture and storage, and soil carbon are the five areas selected for development.

Ikea, Unilever, BT, Ericsson and Telia have founded a new initiative to set pre-2050 targets to reach net-zero emissions across their operations and supply chain.The leading brands are among the founding corporate members of a new initiative designed to help multinational supply chains align with the Paris Agreement.The new scheme binds the companies to enhance their long-term goals.

The Oil and Gas Authority’s (OGA) has for the first time expanded its benchmarking to the flaring and venting of greenhouse gases on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) - detailing flaring and venting activity levels in the North Sea and the resulting contribution to UK oil and gas greenhouse gas emissions.In a new report, OGA details the volume of gas flared and vented in offshore upstream oil and gas production last year was equivalent to 3% of all the natural gas produced in 2019.
