This video sheds light on where biomass used for bioenergy comes from. The industry makes use of residue and wood that cannot be used in other sectors as a source of energy.
As part of sustainable forest management, bioenergy provides energy, rural development, GHG emission reductions and increased forest resilience.

BECCS, or Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage, is a technology that the IPCC has factored into their climate modelling. If it is to have the effect of keeping their models to well below 2 degrees Celsius of warming compared to pre-industrial levels then it will need to be implemented on a vast scale around the globe.
This week we take a snapshot of scientific and journalistic analysis of this controversial proposal.
What’s included a company’s carbon footprint? How to measure corporate Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions? Every business leader should know what to consider as part of their company footprint, this video explains what’s included.
Often we tend to think about facilities, energy use, and perhaps the fleet – but these account only for a part of a company’s total carbon footprint. The Sustainability Speaker Susanna Hasenoehrl helps you to better understand this, walking you through the concept of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
Scope 1 and 2 emissions arise from a company’s operational activities, such as a production facility, or heating or cooling an office. These can be controlled somewhat easily – for example, by switching to renewable energy, or to an electric fleet.
So what about Scope 3? Pukka, a Unilever brand, reports that 49% of their emissions come from boiling the kettle, to make a ‘cuppa’. This is an example of Scope 3 emissions, which are more indirect – yet related to the usage of a company’s products and services.
For most companies, Scope 3 makes up most of their carbon footprint. Scope 3 emissions can be quite difficult to measure, as it includes things like emissions from waste – when a product is disposed of – the supply chain, outsourced activities, and even business travel.
Nonetheless: when you come across a company’s carbon disclosure, do ask whether Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions are included. Video Rating: / 5
We all know that cows (and other ruminants animals like sheep) emit methane, a strong greenhouse gas. But this methane is part of a natural, or biogenic, carbon cycle where the methane breaks down into CO2 and water after about 12 years. The grass then absorbs the CO2 through photosynthesis, cows eat the grass and the cycle continues.
The CO2 from burning fossil fuel on the other hand, stays in the atmosphere for potentially 1,000 years
This animation shows how the environmental impact of methane emissions from cows is fundamentally different to the carbon dioxide from fossil fuels.
In Australia methane emissions from agriculture are falling due to the innovative emissions reduction practices and technologies that are making the red meat and livestock industry part of the climate solution. Video Rating: / 5
Delta’s Managing Director of Sustainability Amelia Deluca commits to setting science-based targets to reduce Delta’s greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, Delta has pledged it will fly on 10% sustainable aviation fuel by 2030 to help create a better world for all.
Global Citizen Live calls for action to halt climate change and for wealthy countries to deliver on the 0B climate pledge, B for famine relief, and COVID-19 vaccine justice for all. On Sept. 25, 2021, over 60M COVID-19 vaccines, 157M trees, and more than US.1B in commitments to climate, famine, and COVID-19 response efforts were announced as part of the partner-led campaign. The Global Citizen Live campaign continues in the lead-up to the G20 Summit and the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) later this year.

Oil and gas companies are electrifying assets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support ESG goals. Using an integrated EPC approach delivers fewer operational upsets, speed to market, and cost efficiency and savings. https://hubs.li/Q01gybwQ0 #OilfieldElectrification #OilfieldESG #OilfieldEPC

Simon Palacio:
The oil and gas industry has been one of the largest non-nation targets for activists seeking greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the world. Oil and gas is one of the biggest polluters in the world. So exploration and production companies have to maintain an ESG portfolio and show efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, just in order to have access to capital, to find new fields, drill new wells, and build their infrastructure. Greenhouse gas reductions is not just good for the environment. It’s good business as well.
With mounting environmental pressures driven as a means of access to capital and pressures to reduce lease operating expenses, exploration and production companies have been pushed to electrify all of their assets at almost all pieces of oilfield equipment out there, whether it be pumps or drill rigs can be electrified. Oilfield electrification is the comprehensive process that includes everything from pre-capital consulting through commissioning and closeout. We’re transitioning the power source of upstream oil and gas production assets, like your rigs and your drills from fossil fuels, which have been primarily gas and diesel to the electric grid, renewable power.
The ultimate goal of oilfield electrification is to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions in what has been a very traditionally fossil fuel equipment-driven process. Burns & McDonnell is the only EPC firm in the industry that’s offering it as an all-inclusive program. This partnership is going to bring oil and gas companies, greenhouse gas emissions reductions, fewer operational upsets, speed to market, cost efficiency and savings, routine flaring reduction, and it’s going to support ESG goals. We value a deep trust in our partnerships that has proven to deliver lasting results since 1898. Video Rating: / 5

Energy is one of the leading issues in the upcoming U.S. Presidential Election. Supporters of the Green New Deal are shoving this idea to the top of political headlines and are what today’s guest calls “Champagne Socialists”—those who push their ideologies unto others but aren’t willing to get their hands dirty.
We all want a better world for future generations than we have today. But to have an electrical world powered by wind and solar, you need rare-earths, silver, copper, cobalt… you need many different and expensive materials in vast quantities.
Marin Katusa, one of the world’s most successful resource venture capital fund managers, overseeing some of the largest funds in North America, says, “There’s some seriously big money to be made in this trend. And there’s going to be a lot of mistakes. There’s going to be a lot of scams. There’s going to be a lot of wasted government money, just like you mentioned, Solyndra and other deals from Obama’s green dream. But just like I proved it before, there’s going to be incredible assets here that there’s a way to play it.”
Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and Marin Katusa discuss the future of green/clean energy and the solutions to our world’s ecological and economic problems. And, getting rich while finding them.
