Apple, Amazon Lead 60+ Firms to Ease Global Carbon Reporting Rules

welhunt.it — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 03:14:49 +0000

More than 60 global companies, including Apple, Amazon, and Salesforce, have urged the Greenhouse Gas Protocol to keep proposed Scope 2 reporting changes optional rather than mandatory. The firms argue that strict requirements for real‑time, location‑based clean electricity matching could raise costs and slow renewable energy investment. The debate comes as climate disclosures increasingly influence capital flows worldwide. Its outcome will shape how companies measure emissions, procure clean power, and balance reporting accuracy with scalability amid tightening global climate regulations.

EU eyes rules excluding existing Corsia Phase 1 supply

welhunt.it — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 03:13:50 +0000

A draft European Commission proposal could render all existing CORSIA Phase 1 (CP1) credits ineligible for EU airlines, significantly tightening eligibility rules. The plan would exclude credits from high forest, low deforestation (HFLD) projects and impose stricter limits on cookstove credits with high non‑renewable biomass factors, aligning with Article 6.4 standards. If adopted, only about 10% of current credits may remain eligible. The move is expected to sharply constrain supply, increasing uncertainty as airlines delay procurement pending regulatory clarity.

welhunt.it — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 03:12:52 +0000

Inpex has secured government approval to drill two offshore CCS exploration wells near Japan’s Chiba Prefecture as part of its Metropolitan CCS project, one of the country’s nine strategic Advanced CCS initiatives. The project targets an initial CO₂ injection capacity of 1.3 million tonnes per year, with potential expansion to 5 million tonnes annually. Captured emissions from nearby industrial sites will be transported by pipeline for offshore storage. The joint venture plans to reach a final investment decision in 2027, with storage operations expected to begin in the early 2030s.

Malaysia raises biodiesel mandate to B15 amid regional energy supply crisis

welhunt.it — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 03:11:54 +0000

Malaysia will raise its biodiesel blending mandate from B10 to B15, starting with an interim B12 rollout, to strengthen energy security amid fuel supply disruptions linked to the Middle East crisis. The move can be implemented immediately using existing infrastructure and aims to reduce reliance on imported diesel while utilizing idle domestic biodiesel capacity. Malaysia’s biodiesel sector currently operates at around 58% capacity, and the policy shift is expected to support local palm oil producers and align with regional trends, following Indonesia’s move toward a B50 mandate.

Microsoft Reaffirms Commitment To Carbon Removal Strategy

welhunt.it — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 03:10:55 +0000

Microsoft has clarified that carbon removal remains central to its climate strategy, despite reports that it is pausing future purchases. The company said it may adjust the pace or volume of procurement as it reviews market conditions and its broader decarbonization approach, while existing agreements remain intact. Industry data show that demand beyond Microsoft is growing, with non‑Microsoft buyers contracting 3.2 million tonnes in 2025. The episode underscores a transition toward a more diversified, policy‑driven carbon removal market rather than reliance on a single anchor buyer.
