    Three COPs in 2024? Yes we know, this can be confusing. After COP16 Biodiversity in Cali in October, COP29 in Baku in November, another “COP16” took place, but this time for the sixteenth session of UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). It was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on December 2-13th and Esther Val from our team happened to be there. Sustainable land use, ecosystem conservation, agriculture and drought resilience, degraded land restoration, are all core topics we care about at Planet2050, and where private capital can create long-lasting benefits through carbon markets and Payment for ecosystem Services.

    75 countries around the world have already implemented some sort of carbon policy (tax, ETS, hybrid model..) At Planet2050, we follow very closely these development especially in key regions where the future growth of emissions can be expected, across Asia, Middle-East and Africa among others. Here is what is happening is a less covered case but interesting one, Taiwan 👇 🇹🇼

    Towards a new Era for carbon markets

    Taiwan’s approach to emission reductions and carbon market: I attended this week’s European Chamber of Commerce Taiwan event on carbon market, presenting the strategy of the government with the introduced carbon fee, the planned ETS, the influence of CBAM and role of voluntary carbon credits. A threat in this post and comments 🧵 🎯 Taiwan has set objectives to reduce emissions by 23 % by 2030 compared with 2005 and go Net Zero in 2050 ❓ Problem: companies currently "use the atmosphere" for free ▶ Solution: gradually introducing carbon policies with a carbon fee (starting 2025 with initial payments due in 2026), and an ETS starting around 2028-2030, similar to the dual model in Japan. 🌏 Taiwan analyzed policies mainly from Japan, Korea, Singapore, China and the EU. 🇹🇼 Due to its complicated diplomatic and UN status, Taiwan is not part of the Paris Agreement but is doing its own NDC on the same model ▶ The new carbon policy builds on existing voluntary carbon mechanisms introduced by the country in 2010 following the Kyoto and CDM mechanism, the GHG Reduction and Management Act in 2015, and the Climate Act in 2023. 💲 It is called a carbon “fee” and not a tax - basically because it is a separate regulation and funding than other tax systems in place. The revenues from the fee will be used for specific climate adaptation and mitigation purposes. 💨 Total GHG emissions in Taiwan were  275,573,980 tCO2 in 2022, ranked 24 just behind France, Thailand and Malaysia. However Taiwan ranks 18 in terms of emissions per capita. ⚡ Priority sectors for the carbon fee are the utility, natural gas, manufacturing. It will cover 500 entities from 281 companies, with a threshold at 250 000 tCO2e per year, representing 54% of the total country’s emissions. 💰 Emissions beyond the threshold are in chargeable with the carbon fee of NTD 300 ($9,2). It is lower than regional carbon tax benchmarks, but will gradually include up to NTD 1200-1900 after 2030. 📊 Like with any new carbon pricing instrument, there is a risk for carbon leakage, because increased costs of producing in the domestic countries can lead to more imports. It also takes time for companies to implement emission reduction processes and equipment. ETS usually include initial free quotas as adjustment mechanisms for that. 📉 In Taiwan a fully charged carbon fee could represent 40 to 45% of the gross margin of cement or heavy metal industries. Preferential fees and coefficients reducing chargeable emissions of up to 80% have therefore been introduced, and will be gradually lifted. The policy also creates incentives for sectors to engage in reduction strategies aligned on SBT for example. 👇 rest in comments Deborah Chiang Yuyan Li Chien-Chih Chen, CFA Erwan Pesle Chichi Peng, Ph.D.

  • Planet2050 featured in a Carbon Pulse article: real potential for #SF6 emissions reduction exist! 🌏  As we focus on real problems that matter for our environment, we got stuck with the growing issue of Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) 🔌  With the global expansion of SF6 (electricity generation is planned to quadruple until 2050), we keep adding more SF6 in the network. This gas is highly condensed in electricity transmission equipment, serving as insulator ⚡ But leakages, mishandling and non-recovery are common issues which bring this gas up in the atmosphere where it will stay for 3,200 years ☁️  The total estimated stock of SF6 range from 100-200,000 tonnes globally. This represents a potential of 2.3-4.6 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent. To put things in perspective: this is roughly 10% of annual global GHG emissions (37.4 billion tonnes in 2023) Read more 👇 #sf6 #airpollution #climate #carbonmarkets #climatetech

  • 🌍 Today is World Soil Day! 🌱 Did you know soil stores more carbon than all plants and the atmosphere combined? Soils are the hidden superhero of our planet’s climate cycle!   With around 1 500 billion tonnes of carbon found in the organic matter in soil worldwide, soils are the 2nd largest active store of carbon after the oceans (40 000 billion tonnes). There is more carbon stored in soil than in the atmosphere (760 billion tonnes) and in vegetation (560 billion tonnes) combined. As the foundation of our food systems - 95% of global food production depends on it. Yet, every year, we lose 24 billion tons of fertile soil due to unsustainable practices and erosion. - It is also a key player in carbon sequestration. Soils are also critical to tackling climate change, enhancing biodiversity, and securing global food security. Of particular concern for climate change are hotspots such as peatlands, black soils, permafrost, coastal soils and grasslands, which contain the highest amount of soil organic carbon. At Planet2050, we believe in the power of soil to regenerate ecosystems and drive meaningful climate action. That’s why we’re working to promote improved practices leading to regenerative agriculture, and #CDR methods such as #Biochar, Enhanced Rock Weathering #ERW or innovative schemes like soil carbon credits and agroforestry, as ways to improve soil health and climate impact. Every hectare of healthy soil is a step closer to a thriving planet 🌍 We are cognizant of the legislative efforts of the EU Soil Strategy and the Common Agricultural Policy and this World Soil Day we call on policymakers, businesses, and communities to invest in nature-positive solutions that protect and restore this essential resource 🛠️ How can you make a difference? Support regenerative farming, advocate for sustainable practices, and let’s innovate together to secure a future where soils, people, and the planet thrive! 💡 Share your ideas on championing healthier soils. #WorldSoilDay #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilHealth #Planet2050

  • We look back at the insightful discussions and enthusiasm at #COP29 in #Baku the past two weeks. It is truly exciting to see global communities, project developers and climate tech innovators coming together to tackle some of our burning climate issues. The 29th Conference of the Parties did not met all expectations especially with the New Collective Quantified Goal (#NCQG) still far from the targeted USD 1.3 trillion per year by 2035, currently set at USD 300 billion annually. However, COP29 has given great signals for global carbon markets with the finalization of rules under #Article6, setting up the new Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (or #PACM, pronounced "pakem"), following 9 years of negotiations since the signature of the Paris Agreement at COP21. ➡️ Article 6.2: Regulates bilateral carbon trading between countries. ➡️ Article 6.4: Establishes a global crediting mechanism for emissions reductions. ➡️ Article 6.8: Non.market approaches We'll post more content on this soon! These markets could unlock significant funding for climate action while enabling countries to meet their emissions targets more efficiently. This has been seen as a real milestone, although we expect many operationalization clarifications on methodologies, registries, quality and integrity governance, revocation, and more important matters. Thank you to Miroslav Polzer GloCha Global Challenges Action Network Alexey Shadrin Evercity for the opportunity to partner at the Digital Innovation Pavilion, and to many new partners and friends met at COP29!

  • We are now member of the German Biochar e.V. (German Biochar Association)! Great learnings and meetings at the German Biochar Forum last week, from the use of biochar by German municipalities, the development of standards such as BISKO and the upcoming GHP Protocol Land Sector and Removals Guidance, to the possible inclusion of Biochar CDR in the EU ETS. At Planet2050, we are committed to scaling #biochar, particularly in emerging markets. For agrarian economies, biochar presents a unique opportunity to build resilience and unlock sustainable value chains in agriculture and beyond. It can also provides an additional, permanent, high-integrity solution to capture CO2 and avoid methane emissions from decomposing biomass, activities which Net-Zero companies can integrate in their strategy through Carbon Dioxide Credits (#CDR) to neutralize residual emissions.
