Indeed, the transportation sector alone is responsible for a quarter of all GHG emissions worldwide, with road transport accounting for about 80 percent of this figure.…

Many…

Too Long; Didn't ReadThe U.S. Government's strategic priority focuses on achieving net-zero aviation emissions by 2050. This ambitious plan includes advancing new aircraft and engine technologies, operational improvements, and widespread adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). With a commitment to environmental justice, the U.S. aims to lead the global aviation sector towards a sustainable, eco-friendly future.

CLIMATEWIRE | Cutting carbon emissions sharply over the next three decades will prevent tens of thousands of deaths in the U.S. and save trillions of…

Bill Gates just joined the chorus of big names in tech who have weighed in on the question of risks around artificial intelligence. TL;DR? He’s not too worried, we’ve been here before.The billionaire business magnate and philanthropist made his case in a post on his personal blog GatesNotes, in which he called AI the most transformative technology any of us will see in our lifetimes—ahead of the internet, smartphones, and personal computers.His optimism is refreshing after weeks of doomsaying. Gates urges fast but…

The next two milestones, at 2040 and 2050, could be harder to hit. Efficiency improvements and operational measures won’t be enough to get global shipping to net-zero emissions by 2050. Decarbonizing shipping is a multitrillion-dollar endeavor and will require technological advancements, including wide use of low- and zero-emissions fuels like green hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia, which are largely yet to be demonstrated or adopted in commercial operations. The stakes for decarbonizing the global economy, including…

For the first time, Canada's national energy regulator has looked at how oil and gas production will change in a net-zero world, where countries hit their climate goals — and it shows a future without much demand for Canadian fossil fuels.In its widely read annual report on the country's energy future, the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) modelled scenarios where the world and Canada successfully head toward net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, which is seen as key to limiting global warming to 1.5 C above pre-industrial…

The researchers recommend nations make their targets legally binding and back them up with…

We also set up new emerging energy sources like ammonia. Three cargos—test cargos—were sent to Asia and to Europe. Also, today we are sourcing 100% of grid power from zero carbon, solar, and nuclear energy, ensuring energy efficiency improvement across our operation. And we also apply, of course, nature-based solutions with the planting of millions of mangrove trees. We also recently allocated $15 billion investments to progress various projects across our diversified value chain in the low carbon solutions. So as I…
