One of the industries that faces high pressure to reduce carbon emissions is construction. The materials at the heart of construction—concrete and steel—are essential but carbon-intensive. Together, they contribute to approximately 13% of global CO₂ emissions. In response, Carbon Direct and Microsoft have launched a unique guide. It’s called Criteria for High-Quality Environmental Attribute Certificates […]
A team of engineers at MIT has developed a new type of nanofiltration membrane that could make carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems six times more efficient. Their innovation addresses one of the biggest technical challenges in carbon capture: when the ions used in the process mix together, they create water and reduce efficiency. Current […]
Tech giants like Google and Microsoft are boosting demand for quality carbon removals through ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation) projects. These projects restore degraded land, store carbon, and support biodiversity. As the market shifts to durable, transparent credits, ARR projects are becoming the new gold rush in the voluntary carbon market. Greening the Planet: What […]

The European Parliament has approved a big change to the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). This update makes the carbon import rules of the EU CBAM simpler. It also gives a major exemption for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The new rule passed with a strong 564-20 vote. It sets a 50-tonne annual import limit. […]
Microsoft has partnered with Danish shipping company NORDEN. The tech giant’s goal is to cut its Scope 3 maritime emissions by almost 10,000 tons of CO₂e in three years. This is why they are starting a sustainable shipping initiative. This uses NORDEN’s certified waste-based biofuel and its Book and Claim solution to decarbonize Microsoft’s global […]
JPMorgan Chase, one of the largest banks in the world, has entered a landmark agreement with Vancouver-based carbon removal company CO280. The deal is worth $90 million and involves the purchase of 450,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) over the next 13 years. This move shows more confidence in carbon removal tech. It […]
The European Union (EU) has approved €992 million in funding for 15 renewable hydrogen projects in 5 countries across the European Economic Area. This investment, under the EU Innovation Fund, is a key part of Europe’s clean energy strategy. The projects aim to produce about 2.2 million tonnes of green hydrogen over the next decade, […]
