ArcelorMittal, MHI, BHP and Mitsubishi Development Complete Phase One of Steel Carbon Capture Trial

welhunt.it — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 02:56:14 +0000

ArcelorMittal, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, BHP and Mitsubishi Development completed the first phase of a carbon-capture trial at ArcelorMittal’s Gent steelworks in Belgium. Using MHI’s Advanced KM CDR Process™, the pilot achieved CO₂ capture rates exceeding 90% from blast furnace gas during more than 4,500 hours of testing, demonstrating operation despite dust, sulphur compounds and other contaminants. Assessments indicate that full-scale application to pre-combustion blast furnace off-gas could reduce the site’s CO₂ intensity by up to 24%. The second phase will test gases from the hot strip mill reheating furnace. BHP and Mitsubishi Development are funding the trial.

Meta backs Fortera cement plant through EAC agreement

welhunt.it — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 02:55:59 +0000

Meta signed a multi-year agreement to purchase environmental attribute certificates (EACs) associated with approximately 200,000 tons of Fortera’s low-carbon cement, supporting financing for a new plant in Missouri. Fortera’s ReCarb technology converts captured industrial CO₂ into cement feedstock, producing cement with a carbon footprint approximately 70% lower than ordinary Portland cement, according to the company. The EAC model enables buyers to address supply-chain emissions without necessarily purchasing the physical cement, while providing revenue certainty to expand production. Meta retains the option to use the cement in its construction projects and expand the partnership’s volume and duration.

China clean tech exports to cut global emissions by Brazil-sized amount in 2026

welhunt.it — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 02:55:41 +0000

China’s 2026 exports of solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles and batteries are expected to help avoid 450 million metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions outside China, up from 370 million tonnes in 2025, according to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air. Most avoided emissions occur in the Global South, with solar contributing the largest share. The analysis estimates that emissions savings offset equipment-manufacturing emissions within around six months. Lifetime avoided emissions from equipment exported in 2026 are forecast at 8.4 billion tonnes of CO₂. Exports largely created new markets, although falling unit prices reduced incumbent producers’ revenues.

Supercritical To Offer Buyers Up To 19,000 Tonnes Of Biochar Credits By Jain Irrigation

welhunt.it — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 02:55:23 +0000

Supercritical signed an agreement with Jain Irrigation for up to 19,000 tonnes of biochar carbon-removal credits from 2026 and 2027 production at its Jalgaon facility in Maharashtra, India. The project uses residues from Jain’s food-processing operations and other agricultural crops, with syngas replacing fossil fuel and biochar supplied to agricultural businesses and farmers. Puro.earth verification and an independent BeZero rating were still underway. The agreement adds prospective supply as buyers increasingly use multi-year contracts; Supercritical reported that 81% of 2026 high-quality biochar supply had already been committed by July.

Sylvera COP31 Host Country Analysis: Türkiye’s Carbon Market Landscape

welhunt.it — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 02:55:08 +0000

Turkey has launched its national ETS pilot, with compliance obligations beginning for 2027 emissions across five sectors. Domestic credits may cover up to 10% of ETS obligations, with pilot-phase use requiring Carbon Market Board approval. Between January 1 and October 15, 2026, 10 million credits were issued and 6.7 million retired, with renewable energy accounting for 66% and 88%, respectively. Article 6 participation remains undeveloped, with no bilateral Article 6.2 agreements, authorisation letters or corresponding adjustments. Although 19% of 2026 issuance was potentially eligible for CORSIA Phase I, use remains subject to host-country authorisation.

Quality Carbon Removal Commands A Premium, But It Must Be Delivered

welhunt.it — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 02:54:53 +0000

Delivery certainty is as important as carbon-credit quality. A BCG survey of approximately 300 buyers found that target portfolio prices have roughly tripled since 2022, with buyers willing to spend around US$800 million more annually if sufficient qualifying credits were available. Contracted delivery dates do not necessarily indicate when verified credits will be available for retirement. Buyers can manage this risk by reviewing portfolios by delivery year, maintaining a share of supply from projects already delivering credits, and reassessing project execution annually. Operating BECCS and biochar projects offer options within buyers’ budget constraints.

Growing Europe’s land carbon sink: Nature-based removals need the right policies to scale

welhunt.it — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 02:54:17 +0000

Carbon Gap argues that voluntary demand alone is unlikely to scale nature-based removals sufficiently to support Europe’s climate-neutrality goals. Europe faces deteriorating land carbon sinks, wildfire and reversal risks, and a €37.4 billion funding gap for biodiversity and ecosystem restoration. Carbon Gap proposes continued support for voluntary initiatives alongside the gradual introduction of a compliance instrument for the land sector. Its design would need to balance polluters’ ability to pay, the risk of weakening incentives to reduce emissions, and the cost of reversing carbon losses.

ICVCM: Why gender is essential for high-integrity carbon markets

welhunt.it — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 02:54:34 +0000

The first article in ICVCM’s gender-responsiveness blog series argues that carbon-market integrity includes participation, benefit-sharing and community outcomes, not carbon accounting alone. It recommends analysing local roles and inequalities, involving underrepresented groups in project decisions, and integrating inclusion throughout implementation. A Burkina Faso agroforestry example illustrates how training, income opportunities and community leadership can accompany land restoration. The article advocates a risk-based approach, including disaggregated data and action plans where contextual risks are high. It cautions that box-ticking initiatives can overlook local realities and should not substitute for meaningful project design and engagement.

IMARC Group Market Analysis and Corporate Agreements Propel United States Biochar Market to Reach USD 1,514.5 Million by 2034

welhunt.it — Sun, 25 Oct 2026 02:54:00 +0000

An IMARC Group analysis forecasts the US biochar market will grow from US$602.2 million in 2025 to US$1,514.5 million by 2034, at a compound annual growth rate of 10.50%. Drivers include regenerative agriculture, organic farming, waste management and verified carbon sequestration. The article identifies high production costs, limited processing infrastructure, low consumer awareness and inconsistent quality standards as barriers. Slow-pyrolysis deployment, USDA funding and long-term corporate carbon-removal agreements are supporting expansion. Woody biomass remains a preferred feedstock, while the southern US holds the largest market share through agricultural and land-restoration applications.

Microsoft Shares Lessons Learned From Its Carbon Removal Procurement Program

welhunt.it — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 02:53:43 +0000

Microsoft shared four lessons from six years of carbon-removal procurement, reporting agreements for 80 million additional tonnes since its 2023 update, through summer 2026. First, projects require patience: the company describes five to eight years from inception to initial credits. Second, buyers must account for permitting, financing, market, execution and generation risks. Third, deployment should proceed responsibly while quality standards continue to improve. Finally, public investment, risk-sharing and clear policy can reinforce private demand. The paper encourages organisations with 2035 or later removal ambitions to begin procurement early rather than wait for fully mature supply.
