The coronavirus outbreak is hitting the vulnerable recovered paper sector hard according to The Recycling Association. Over the past few years, the international market for recovered fibre has received a number of blows and this has proved challenging for the UK in particular. Firstly, the closure of Chinese markets for mixed paper and gradual reduction in quota for cardboard (OCC) and sorted office waste (SOW) has largely taken away the UK’s most significant buyer.

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.

As the 2020s progress, flexible energy portfolios will grow significantly as resources on either side of the meter proliferate in the U.S., Europe, Asia and beyond. The degree to which this wave of new flexible resources can be tapped for grid-balancing will depend on four key areas, according to a new research insight from WoodMac. These areas are regulatory reform, evolution of market models, the scale of grid edge investment around electrification, and de-risking grid edge investment.

Fashion is an industry that sometimes flies under the radar in terms of its environmental impact. And while it has always had these effects, the industry has increased production drastically in the last few years alone. With this change comes more energy and water consumption, more air and ocean pollution and more carbon emissions. The fashion industry produces approximately 10% of the world’s carbon emissions.

If a wind farm breaks down during the COVID-19 global pandemic, who will be there to fix it? So far, much of the focus on the outbreak's impact on the renewables industry has been on factory shutdowns and the challenges of developing and building new projects on deadline in such times. But there's another concern emerging in the industry: keeping the world's huge base of existing wind farms well-maintained and operating in the field.
