WWF-Australia’s Post

Gränges is committed to mitigating climate change and has set a goal to reach net-zero by 2040. The company strives to reduce the climate impact along the value chain – from its own operations and from the materials sourced. The main pathways to reach net-zero include recycling growth, low-carbon primary aluminum sourcing, and renewable energy usage. #climateneutral #netzero #SBTI

The UK government has committed nearly £22bn to carbon capture projects in Merseyside and Teesside. This aims not only to meet ambitious climate goals but also to create thousands of jobs and draw in significant private investment. While it's a promising step, some green campaigners argue it might prolong the lifespan of fossil fuels. Having been in the energy sector, I understand the mixed reactions. Carbon capture is indeed a vital tool for decarbonising industries that can't switch to clean energy overnight. What are your thoughts on balancing these technologies for a sustainable future? #ClimateChange #RenewableEnergy #CarbonCapture  https://lnkd.in/eFSTFYxG

Happy International Day of Climate Action! Today we want to show our commitment to our decarbonisation goals. We are well on our way to fighting global warming across all scopes of our emissions. Have a look at some green achievements from 2023: Scope 1 emissions: 🇮🇹 Our plasterboard plant in Corfinio, Italy, has installed an automated energy tracking tool. 📉 We have been reducing the CO2 impact of cement in our European fibre cement factories, with actions underway in France and the Netherlands, aiming for over 30% reduction by 2030. ⚡ We implemented 277 concrete energy efficiency actions at our plants worldwide to reduce immediate energy consumption and associated emissions. Scope 2 emissions: ☀️ We installed new solar installations in Altona, Australia, and Vitry-en-Charollais, France to generate more renewable electricity. ⚡ Despite several acquisitions, we could maintain our share of renewable electricity at 60.9%. Scope 3 emissions: ♻️ We moved to environmentally responsible sourcing methods and introduced reuse and recycling after the use phase. To enhance engagement, we committed to the global Science Based Target initiative (SBTi), planning to set our goals in the near future and align our emission reduction targets to their standards. Let’s keep moving forward together! #Decarbonisation #UnitedTolnspire #InspiringWaysOfLiving

💚We are committed to a more sustainable future. Since 2020, our photovoltaic system produces more than 50% of the annual electricity consumption of our offices and factory. This not only reduces our dependence on conventional energy, but also lowers our carbon footprint by investing in clean, renewable energy. These actions allow us to align with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and fight climate change. Today, on #InternationalReducingCO2EmissionsDay, we continue to drive action to reduce our environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Carbon credits are measurable emission reductions from certified climate projects, representing one ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) or an equivalent amount of other greenhouse gases (GHGs) reduced, avoided, or removed from the atmosphere. In 2023, the global carbon credit market was valued at approximately $272 billion, reflecting a growing recognition of the importance of mitigating climate change. In 2022, such projects contributed to the sequestration of an estimated 7.6 million tons of CO2. Renewable energy projects, particularly in developing countries, often rely on carbon credit funding to offset higher initial costs, facilitating the transition to cleaner energy sources. Additionally, methane capture initiatives, which can reduce methane emissions by up to 90%, play a crucial role given methane's potent greenhouse effect, being over 25 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than CO2 over a 100-year period. The market for carbon credits is expected to grow, with predictions suggesting it could reach a valuation of $1 trillion by 2030, underscoring its pivotal role in global climate strategies.

🌍 AEC African Energy Week has kicked off with a powerful start, sparking vital discussions on our continent's energy future! As a developing nation, we can’t afford to sit back, waiting for financial support for OUR decarbonisation programs from developed countries. We each have a role to play in reducing South Africa’s carbon footprint. At CNG, we’re here to empower your journey towards decarbonisation, partnering with you to drive meaningful, sustainable change. Together, let’s build a cleaner, greener future! 💚 #AfricanEnergyWeek #AEW #AEW2024 #Sustainability #Decarbonization #GreenEnergy 

A lot of discussions on CCS, green hydrogen etc. incl. related mounting subsidies... Let's not forget: "green steam solutions" that lead to massive CO2 avoidance in industrial processes are readily available AND commercially attractive TODAY! Examples: econnext's subsidiaries "Lumenion" and "Circular Carbon" deliver utility scale green heat solutions that have a CAPEX need of only € 50,- to 100,- per avoided ton of CO2 ! Let's focus on these low hanging fruits for the avoidance of CO2 thus lowering the amounts of precious green hydrogen and very costly CCS that are otherwise needed. https://lnkd.in/eMywdhpm
