Poll of 500 large UK businesses indicates only a third measure the climate impact and energy consumption of staff IT use. As corporates around the world are forced to embrace a more flexible working culture in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, a survey of large UK businesses and organisations indicates only a small proportion are measuring the CO2 and energy consumption of their employees' computing.

Oil Market Crash?—?Oil & Solar Correlation In the News: Oil markets looking grim on a 5-day trail, but pacing towards $23/barrel (NYMEX), well below the psychological barrier of $30/barrel. The common misconception is that solar power is directly linked to oil pricing. Oil is specifically applicable to transportation sector, but not electricity markets, which is why we see decoupling of pricing between oil and electricity markets.

Energy supplier claims making all homes carbon neutral could save the equivalent to 22 per cent of the UK's total emissions. If all UK homes were transformed to become zero carbon it could save more than 100 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year, equating to 22 per cent of the country's total carbon emissions, according to new calculations from OVO Energy.

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.

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.
