Houston-based CarbonStorage.io unveils a comprehensive, real-time platform to map and monitor global carbon management projects, aiming to accelerate transparency and investment in low-carbon infrastructure amid rising decarbonisation efforts. CarbonStorage.io has gone live with a global intelligence platform intended to map and monitor the expanding landscape of carbon management and low‑carbon infrastructure. The Houston‑based firm said the service provides continuously updated, project‑level datasets and geospatial visualisations covering carbon capture and storage (CCS), direct air capture (DAC), hydrogen, e‑fuels, CO₂ pipeline corridors and related permitting activity, with a free tier for core maps and summaries and paid options for advanced analytics. The…

ACWA Power advances its plans to export green ammonia from Saudi Arabia to Germany, aiming to establish a crucial supply corridor for decarbonising Europe’s hard-to-abate sectors amid commercial uncertainties and infrastructural challenges. ACWA Power is advancing plans to channel green hydrogen and ammonia from Saudi Arabia to Germany, strengthening a nascent supply corridor that industry players and governments view as central to decarbonising hard‑to‑abate sectors in Europe. According to ACWA Power, a recently signed memorandum of understanding could see green ammonia produced at its planned Yanbu facility exported to Germany for conversion back into hydrogen. The company says the agreement…

The US Congress’s latest budget package preserves and reconfigures funding for carbon removal technologies, signalling a strategic shift towards industrial competitiveness and international trade transparency amid evolving climate commitments. When Congress finalised the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations, many in the climate community expected sweeping cuts. Instead the package preserved and in some cases reconfigured funding and policy language that together strengthen the United States’ capacity to scale both point‑source carbon capture and engineered carbon dioxide removal (CDR), while beginning to position industry for an era of carbon‑aware trade. Taken together the line items are modest in isolation but consequential in…

The GHG Protocol introduces its long-awaited Land Sector and Removals Standard, offering a comprehensive framework for companies to quantify, report, and track land-related emissions and carbon removals, aiming to improve honest climate commitments amid rising regulatory and stakeholder scrutiny. The GHG Protocol has published its long-awaited Land Sector and Removals Standard, establishing a corporate accounting framework for greenhouse‑gas emissions and carbon removals linked to agricultural land use and engineered CO2 removals such as direct air capture (DAC). The move addresses a longstanding gap in corporate carbon reporting by providing a unified methodology companies can adopt when land-related activities form part…

Finland is orchestrating a strategic push to become a major producer of synthetic fuels through extensive renewable power expansion, sustainable feedstock use, and favourable EU policies, aiming for climate neutrality by 2035. Finland is mounting a coordinated push to become a major European producer of synthetic fuels, leveraging surplus low‑cost power, forestry by‑products and EU regulatory momentum to attract industrial investment. According to Business Finland, the state economic development agency, planned expansion of climate‑neutral power generation by 70 percent to about 140 terawatt hours by 2030 would create enough CO₂‑neutral electricity to run as many as 100 e‑fuel plants. Industry…

Abu Dhabi marks a milestone in its climate strategy with a year of comprehensive emissions data collection, aiming to boost transparency and attract green investment amidst evolving regulatory reforms. Abu Dhabi has completed the first year of its Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) programme, a milestone officials say strengthens the emirate’s capacity to manage industrial emissions and attract low‑carbon investment. According to a report by UrduPoint citing the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD), the system has now gathered emissions information covering roughly 90 million tonnes of CO2 from more than 250 companies, bringing about 80% of the emirate’s major…

AEMO data reveals a landmark quarter where renewables and batteries supplied over half of the national energy, lowering prices and highlighting operational challenges amidst Australia’s rapid decarbonisation. Average demand across Australia’s largest grid climbed to a new quarterly peak at the end of 2025 even as low‑cost wind, solar and batteries supplied a majority of the power used across the eastern seaboard, according to the Australian Energy Market Operator. AEMO’s Quarterly Energy Dynamics snapshot shows “average underlying demand” , the metric that counts consumption including what rooftop PV offsets , reached 24,271 megawatts in the three months to 31 December…

Despite recent US policy setbacks, global offshore wind growth accelerates, with European projects securing record contracts and Asia leading installations, highlighting resilience and shifting strategies in the industry. The offshore wind sector has navigated a bruising 18 months, yet the industry shows signs of resilience as developers and manufacturers recalibrate strategies amid shifting policy, supply and financing pressures. The most pronounced headwind has been policy uncertainty in the United States. The Trump administration has moved decisively to curb federal support for large-scale renewables, cancelling funding streams and ordering pauses on major East Coast projects while citing classified national security assessments…

Sohar Port and Freezone is leveraging its logistics strengths to develop a low-carbon manufacturing and energy complex aligned with Oman’s 2050 net-zero goal, integrating renewables, hydrogen, and maritime clean-tech innovations. Sohar Port and Freezone is converting its scale and logistics advantages into a deliberate industrial decarbonisation play, seeking to turn an existing trade hub into a low-carbon manufacturing and energy complex that supports Oman’s 2050 net-zero objective. The port’s vice president for sustainability, Dr Abdullah Al Abri, framed the effort as strategic rather than symbolic, tracing Sohar’s approach from national policy through to site-level projects during a recent Energy Talks…

Repsol announces plans to commission a 100 MW electrolyser at its Petronor refinery in Muskiz, Spain, aiming to produce 15,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually and cut 167,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions, as part of a broader industrial decarbonisation strategy supported by EU funding. Repsol will add a second large electrolyser to its Petronor refinery complex in Muskiz, near Bilbao, marking a further step in its push to decarbonise industrial operations through renewable hydrogen. According to Repsol, the 100 MW facility is budgeted at €292 million, is recognised by the European Commission as an Important Project of Common European Interest…
