What do financial institutions need for portfolio emissions measurement and reporting? Financial institutions (FIs) must measure portfolio emissions regularly to demonstrate progress in decarbonization over time, and they must start with a baseline measurement. FIs that are ready to determine their baseline face several challenges, including incomplete or inconsistent emissions data in some areas of the business.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

By Matteo Ceriotti, Senior Lecturer in Space Systems Engineering, University of Glasgow, writing in The Conversation. The idea of space-based solar power (SBSP) – using satellites to collect energy from the sun and “beam” it to collection points on Earth – has been around since at least the late 1960s. Despite its huge potential, the concept has not gained sufficient traction due to cost and technological hurdles.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
