US Falling Short on Methane Emissions Reduction Commitments from Landfills: Report
The United States is failing to uphold its commitment to reducing methane emissions from landfills, a promise it made at the Glasgow 2022 Climate Change Conference, according to a new study. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has identified this issue as an easily achievable solution for mitigating climate change within the […]
EC Support for Biomethane Fuel Grows – Doubling Production by 2030 Considered for France
The news is that EC support for biomethane fuel is continuing apace. So much so that a doubling of biomethane production by 2030 is being considered by the authorities in France. To us this makes sense. It is a sustainable and environmentally friendly option for energy production and is considered a key component in the […]
UK Begins Fightback Against Plastic Pollution: Dramatic 2040 Deadline Set for a Cleaner Future
The UK government has signed a Ministerial Statement calling for an ambitious global plastic pollution treaty to tackle plastic pollution and protect the marine environment. A plastic pollution treaty is sought for: including a reduction in single-use plastics, the improvement of waste management and recycling systems, and the promotion of sustainable and circular economy models. […]
Cutting Methane Emissions: Key to Avoiding Climate Tipping Points
Recent studies have shown that cutting methane emissions is crucial in limiting global warming to the internationally agreed goal of 1.5-2 degrees Celsius. This is because methane is a potent greenhouse gas that is estimated to be 28 to 85 times more powerful than carbon dioxide in terms of trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. […]
Fugitive Methane Emissions from the Energy Industry – Danger and Cures
We agree with the DW Planet A YT Channel about the risk of climate change acceleration due to fugitive methane emissions. You’re looking at the world’s largest climate disaster that no one is talking about. “Methane is present in all of this.” Methane. This very powerful greenhouse gas is quietly baking the Earth.” Since the […]
The Environmental Effects of Coal Burning on Air Land and Water
The environmental effects of coal-burning are huge. But, many nations continue to develop coal power stations despite the promises made to begin to phase out coal as an energy source made during the COP26 Climate Change Conference in Glasgow in November 2021. Coal combustion is the most polluting method of producing electricity, with serious environmental […]
