Global carbon tracking faces increasing methodological uncertainty as China’s revised emissions accounting suggests that the rise in national emissions between 2020 and 2025 may be overstated by as much as 700 million tonnes of CO₂, according to analysis from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air.

South Korea’s Hanwha Power is attempting to position supercritical carbon dioxide power systems as a commercially viable decarbonization tool for pipeline infrastructure operators in Canada.

The latest ASEAN-European Union workshop in Brunei Darussalam signals a broader geopolitical and economic shift: carbon markets are no longer being treated solely as climate instruments, but increasingly as industrial policy and investment mechanisms tied to trade competitiveness, energy transition financing, and regional economic integration.

Thyssenkrupp Polysius has launched a wholly owned subsidiary, Thyssenkrupp Calvion, focused on oxyfuel applications and other carbon dioxide reduction technologies aimed at heavy industry.

HSBC has launched a $4 billion Sustainability and Transition Credit Facility in mainland China aimed at supporting companies operating across…

Global carbon accounting still prioritizes large industrial emitters and engineered removal systems, yet emerging geochemical evidence suggests a less visible source may be contributing to atmospheric CO2: abandoned coal mines.

Tropical forests currently store more than 60% of the world’s vegetation biomass, making them one of the most critical regulators of the global carbon cycle. Yet new research suggests the Amazon’s ability to retain that carbon may weaken faster than previously understood, not primarily because of declining tree growth, but because climate-driven mortality is accelerating the turnover of forest biomass.

The European Union’s aviation decarbonization strategy is approaching a politically sensitive phase as policymakers consider extending carbon pricing pressure beyond intra-European flights to emissions generated on international routes. The debate is emerging alongside a broader redesign of the EU Emissions Trading System aimed at aligning the bloc’s carbon market with its 2040 climate targets.

Construction-related activity accounts for roughly 23 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to figures cited in New York City’s latest climate initiative, placing material production and building processes among the largest but least regulated contributors to urban carbon footprints.

In Kenya’s Rift Valley, a pilot led by Cella Mineral Storage and Octavia Carbon has completed an early-stage underground CO2 injection, marking only the fourth known instance globally where direct air capture has been paired with geological storage in an integrated system.
