Unlocking Solutions: Tackling Methane Emissions through Public-Private Dialogue! We are thrilled to share the exciting news of a ground-breaking dialogue between Denmark and the UAE on methane emissions, guided by the OGMP 2.0 framework, which fosters reporting of methane emissions and directly connects it to strategic mitigation actions. This dialogue represents a significant stride in our collective fight against climate change and our transition towards sustainable energy practices. Recognizing the pivotal role of public-private partnerships in driving impactful change, this collaboration brings together governments, businesses, and civil society to leverage collective expertise and resources. We are particularly proud to highlight that Weel & Sandvig, Danish experts in methane monitoring and PEMS, recently engaged in discussions with ADNOC Group about OGMP 2.0, exploring future collaboration opportunities. This underscores our commitment to cooperation and innovation in addressing global challenges. Let's continue fostering dialogue, encouraging innovation, and providing mutual support as we pave the way towards an energy transition and a sustainable, resilient future.

ClimeCo actively participates in regulated carbon markets, from cap-and-trade to hybrid market designs. We aim to empower clients by minimizing compliance obligations and capitalizing on unique market opportunities. We have expertise in several programs, including: • The Western Climate Initiative (WCI) joint cap-and-trade program in California and Quebec • Alberta’s Technology Innovation and Emission Reduction (TIER) regulation • Carbon pricing jurisdictions across Canada, such as the Federal OBPS, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan • The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) Discover more: https://lnkd.in/gBRCDaKN #ClimeCo #ComplianceMarkets #CarbonMarkets #Carbon #CapAndTrade #GHG #GreenhouesGas #ClimateRegulations #Emissions #PolicyAdvisory #RegulatoryCompliance

A recent report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) concluded that #methane #emissions are continuing to rise and have been underreported. However, there is an answer! #MAFA is focused on progress over promises and has identified a potential project to showcase the #oilandgasindustry's commitment to environmental stewardship and human health while continuing to produce abundant, affordable, and reliable energy. Stay tuned, more to come soon! #progressoverpromises #methanereduction #MAFA #oilandgas #environmentalprotection

Opening of #CCBC24 with a ministerial fireside chat. Just a few topics the conversation covered included ETS, top 10 carbon emitting businesses needs to take action, agri-sector has their part to play in decarbonising, oil and gas exploration is a transition option instead of goal and international trade. The government's focus is on fast tracking renewable projects, plus supporting technology and innovation as an enabler to lower emissions in the next 65 months. They're making sure we have a plan to reduce the cheque we'll need to write to overseas credits in 2030 ($4.5b). #climate #policy #ETS #decarb

AfriCatalyst, a leading Dakar-based global development advisory group, has urged African leaders to develop a framework for issuing African Methane Abatement Bonds (AMAB). This urgent appeal accompanied the launch of AfriCatalyst’s groundbreaking report that sheds light on the alarming surge in methane emissions across the continent and emphasizes the need for immediate global action to mobilize the resources needed to address this environmental crisis. In the report, AfriCatalyst has identified several avenues for boosting domestic and external financing for methane action in Africa. Its launch follows a high-level panel session by AfriCatalyst in November 2023, under the theme “Financing Methane Action in Africa.” #MethaneActionAfrica #MethaneFinance4Africa #Africatalyst

In collaboration with Jonathon Porritt, we've identified 30 key conditions for deploying BECCS successfully. 🌍 🌿 From sustainable biomass sourcing to community engagement, this report outlines how we can deploy #BECCS in a way that drives positive outcomes for people, nature and climate. 📄 Today we have published our last formal update on the ‘BECCS Done Well’ 30 conditions, which is where we outline our progress since commissioning the report in 2022. It also shows how we will see through the actions and outcomes by embedding them into our day-to-day operations. 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eTcmAWcf
