As the world prepares for COP30 in Belém, Brazil, the upcoming round of 2035 national climate pledges is shaping into a defining test for global climate policy. Ten years after the signing of the Paris Agreement, governments face mounting pressure to align their decarbonization pathways with the 1.5°C limit.
Global biofuel production is expanding rapidly—yet its climate credentials are facing renewed scrutiny. According to a new report by Cerulogy for Transport & Environment (T&E), biofuels are now responsible for 16% more CO₂ emissions than the fossil fuels they replace, when accounting for indirect effects such as deforestation and land-use change.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has introduced new amendments to its electric vehicle (EV) recognition framework, aimed at refining data accuracy and aligning regulatory standards with the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA).
India’s telecom industry is entering a phase where energy efficiency is not just a cost metric but a regulatory and strategic imperative. The draft National Telecom Policy (NTP) 2025 puts hard numbers on that shift: a 30% cut in sectoral carbon emissions and 30% renewable power for telecom towers by 2030.
The Middle East and North Africa region confronts a critical juncture where failure to diversify electricity generation beyond fossil fuels…
The UK’s reliance on imported carbon dioxide is set to deepen unless new domestic sources emerge, as bioethanol producers—the traditional backbone of CO₂ supply—struggle to remain viable. Into this gap, Bio Capital is moving to commercialize food-grade CO₂ production at two of its anaerobic digestion (AD) plants, positioning itself as a critical alternative supplier.
Europe’s automotive and energy transition is colliding at the battery cell. Volkswagen Group, through subsidiaries PowerCo and Elli, is now positioning itself at the center of this shift with three announcements: a test vehicle running on QuantumScape’s solid-state battery, the series-ready Unified Cell slated for mass-market EVs, and a 40 MWh stationary energy storage system to be connected in Salzgitter in 2025.
