Emissions today are higher than they were in 1995, and in the 17 years since they peaked in 2007 they have declined a total of just 11%. This “decarbonization capex (capital expenditure) gap” is the focus of the Climate Dollars research project at Corporate Knights. R alph Torrie is the research director at Corporate Knights.
Our commitment to a decarbonized future is evident throughout the report, as we share our progress toward doubling our product handprint and cutting in half our environmental footprint.”. Highlights from the report.
Natura, which issues a regular environmental profit-and-loss statement , went carbon-neutral in 2007 and became the first public B Corporation in 2014. Logan Green has cited growing up with Southern California traffic and carpooling as a student in Zimbabwe for inspiring the launch of Zimride in 2007. million acres the 4.4
"The energy industry is currently facing simultaneous opportunities and challenges that compound these complexities: rapidly growing demand, potentially the greatest infrastructure investment cycle in a generation, a desire to decarbonize, a prolonged inflationary environment pressuring customer rates and an evolving regulatory landscape.
Neste is well aware of the aviation industry’s epic decarbonization difficulties and is gambling its whole future on transportation biofuels. Decarbonization is the biggest challenge the aviation industry has ever faced,” the airline group’s Canadian chief executive, Ben Smith, said in a statement when announcing the Neste purchase.
DESCRIPTION: Today more than ever, manufacturers across all industries are being challenged to employ more sustainable practices in their manufacturing processes, all in an effort to decarbonize. Industries that incorporate fossil fuels in their manufacturing process may have the biggest challenge ahead to decarbonize.
The authors said that concerns about the land requirements and land-use impacts of utility-scale PV have grown as deployment has accelerated and as decarbonization plans call for the solar sector’s rapid expansion. The sample included 736 plants totaling 35,482 MWDC (27,001 MWAC) that came online from 2007 to 2019 across 38 states.
Our greenhouse gas reduction goals are to achieve 50% reduction from 2007 levels by 2030 and to reach net zero by 2050, consistent with the commitments of the Paris Agreement. Effective Execution of Decarbonization Strategies Through 2023, Southern Company has reduced Scope 1 GHG emissions by 49% relative to our baseline year of 2007.
Founded in 2007, Burnaby, British Columbia-based Svante provides structured adsorbent beds – or filters – and modular rotary contactor machines that capture and remove CO2 from industrial emissions, aimed at enabling emissions intensive industries to capture large-scale emissions from existing infrastructure.
natural gas prices to remain elevated between October and March -- the highest winter price since 2007-2008. Corbeau added that governments must anticipate more frequent extreme weather risks and the impact on variable renewable energy systems. Energy Information Administration expects U.S.

Mr. Rabuano succeeds Frank O’Brien-Bernini, who was appointed CSO in 2007, making him one of the first CSOs of a public company. Pioneering Sustainability Leader Frank O’Brien-Bernini to Retire After 15 Years as CSO. These ambitious sustainability goals have become an integrated part of the company’s strategy, plans, and operations.
Founded in 2007, Divert creates advanced technologies and sustainable infrastructure to eliminate wasted food, including solutions to maximize the freshness of food, recover edible food to serve communities in need, and to convert wasted food into renewable energy.
The report shows that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2022 are down 34% below their peak levels in 2007. Although many major power producers have made climate commitments and implemented strategies to reduce carbon emissions, the urgency of rapid decarbonization necessitates even greater ambition." It is authored by ERM.
While the level of emissions within the sector are 10 per cent lower than in 2015, reaching lows not seen since 2007, this was largely due to lockdowns, slowing of economies, difficulties households and businesses faced in maintaining and affording energy access and a fall in construction activity. Some small progress, but not enough.
power generation were still about 34% lower in 2021 than their 2007 peak. While many of the largest power producers have announced climate commitments and strategies to reduce their carbon emissions, the rapid decarbonization required demands increased ambition.”. natural gas prices increased.
closed its doors in 2007. And according to Victoria-based Audette Analytics, the sector “is far behind on the road to decarbonization.” Its AI-based management platform enables clients to monitor their buildings’ equipment data and utility use, compare decarbonization approaches, and then track and verify their efficiency gains.
The proportion of global power generation represented by VRE, such as wind and solar power, has been rising rapidly since 2007. By Jeff Opperman, Michele Thieme, Rafael Guevara Senga, Amit R.
But it’s also true that this mobilization of private capital probably represents the best lever for mass decarbonization. This proved tougher than ever following the global financial crisis of 2007-08, which reinforced the idea that business should cease all activities that were not immediately revenue-generating.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought economic recession and the most severe decline in employment since the 2007 financial crash. The companies that invest in decarbonization – such as renewable energy and efficiency – are doing what’s good for the bottom line, health and safety of communities, and the economy.
Griffith’s steps to "radically demystify" decarbonization start with the supply side, the 730 million tons of coal mined from 669 coal mines, and then all the layers of natural gas and gasoline infrastructure. Saul Griffith of Electrifying America at VERGE Electrify 21. . . . Next is the demand side. This is going to save American money.
energy sector stakeholders are seeing pathways to achieve their decarbonization targets through mature solutions: energy efficiency, battery energy storage and renewable power generation. Most respondents to this year’s survey said DERs would play a role in helping them achieve decarbonization targets.
With the International Energy Agency insisting that electric vehicles need to represent 79% of global bus fleets and 59% of heavy truck fleets by 2050, Bédard says, “The need to take immediate action to decarbonize transportation is clear.”. Just to make sure, Lion is now building a $185-million battery factory. Greenlane Renewables.
But, in some cases, there's an opportunity to go beyond the PPA, and more effectively decarbonize the grid through hourly load matching, or 24/7 matching, according to an analysis by RMI. President Biden has set a goal of decarbonizing the U.S. In 2020, Google reached 67% carbon-free energy globally on an hourly basis.
Onshore wind is one of the lowest-priced energy sources available today, with prices having dropped over 40 percent since the peak between 2007 and 2010, according to the U.S. Energy Information Association and U.S. Department of Energy.
Background: Going beyond the clean energy PPA to decarbonize the grid. President Biden has set a goal of decarbonizing the U.S. Google, for example, has been carbon-neutral since 2007 through carbon offsets, and was one of the first companies to purchase renewable energy directly through PPAs in 2017.
Meeting corporate decarbonization commitments amid supply chain strain is another challenge. Lucid Motors, a luxury EV manufacturer founded in 2007, plans to build its first overseas manufacturing plant in Saudi Arabia. EV manufacturing facilities require unique specifications, features and geographies.
"By tailoring their procurement strategies to regional grid conditions, buyers can help unlock both near-term carbon savings and long-term innovation in technologies that can accelerate full grid decarbonization.". What is CFE? Drives significantly more retirement of natural gas power generation. CFE in practice.
That could sometimes be consistent with the goal of decarbonization. Paying lip service to green aims allows most businesses to reap the benefits of seeming green while incurring the expense of decarbonization. But less than 5% of people have medium-term goals, and even fewer have quantitative decarbonization methods.
