This is primarily due to a significant surplus in the Class 2 market that occurred in 2022 and is expected to remain throughout 2023-2024, mainly owing to growing production of low-grade nickel in Indonesia. Nornickel remains the largest high-grade nickel producer with one of the lowest carbon footprints. Mt to 3.22
Global accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers has analyzed carbon emissions from 2000 to 2008 and concluded that the world’s “carbon emissions budget”, or ability to emit carbon dioxide while still maintaining a “fair chance” of limiting average global temperatures to no more than 2 ºC (3.6
However, while greenhouse gases cause warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere, some aerosols can have a cooling effect on the climate because the aerosol particles cause more of the sun’s light to be reflected away from the planet. In many cases, the strongest climate effects of aerosols are felt far from where the aerosols are emitted.
PwC analysis finds a need for global carbon intensity to drop an average of 5.1% The analysis is based on a carbon budget that would stabilize atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at 450 ppm and give a 50% probability of limiting warming to 2 °C. —Leo Johnson, Partner, Sustainability and Climate Change, PwC.
Governments need to move faster and more decisively on a wide range of policy measures to enable low-carbon hydrogen to fulfil its potential to help the world reach net zero emissions while supporting energy security, the International Energy Agency (IEA) says in a new report. —Fatih Birol, the IEA Executive Director.
All conclude that while carbon losses from biomass replacement and land clearance are considerable, it is the large and sustained CO 2 emissions from drained peat that contribute most to overall emissions and biofuel carbon debts. greatly reducing or stopping carbon inputs to the peat from biomass. —Page et al.
Led by the tiny Pacific island of the Federated States of Micronesia, a growing group of low-lying islands and other vulnerable countries are calling for fast action on the approximately 50% of global warming that is caused by pollutants other than carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). The next round of UN climate negotiations begins in Cancun today.
Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, albeit a distant second. It was very warm in the Arctic, there was some tropical forest burning, and there was increased rain in Indonesia and the Amazon. —Ed Earlier post.) At least three factors likely contributed to the methane increase.
The US reached separate agreements with the G-20 and with China to address the rapid growth in the use and release of climate-damaging hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Left unabated, HFC emissions could grow to nearly 20% of carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, a serious climate mitigation concern.
The project took place in palm oil mills in Indonesia and Malaysia, and was conducted in collaboration with a palm oil company KLK, a Dutch sustainable trade organization IDH, and an international certification system ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification). The field work was conducted by Meo Carbon Solutions.
The Asian monsoon circulation provides an effective pathway for pollution from Asia, India, and Indonesia to enter the global stratosphere, according to a new international study led by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo.

Emissions of two of the most important climate change gases increased last year, according to a preliminary analysis for NOAA’s annual greenhouse gas index, which tracks data from 60 sites around the world. billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO 2 )—a byproduct of fossil fuel burning—and 12.2 Agung (Indonesia) in 1963 and Mt.
A new study finds that the growth of carbon production from Chinese exports has slowed or reversed, reflecting a “new phase of globalization” between developing countries that could undermine international efforts to reduce emissions. The paper is published in Nature Communications.
The alternative scenario assumes that Asia’s fast-growing economies—the PRC, India, Indonesia, and Viet Nam—will fall into the middle income trap of slowing growth rates and stagnating income levels over the next 5 to 10 years. In its march toward prosperity, Asia faces several key challenges and risks. —Asia 2050.
Through this partnership, the organizations will work together to promote biodiversity conservation, raise environmental awareness and accelerate the move toward a “zero carbon” society. The project will take place in WWF priority places Borneo (Kalimantan) and Sumatra in Indonesia. The agreement went into effect on 1 July 2016.
Even if the current Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are fully implemented, the carbon budget for limiting global warming to below 2 ˚C will be about 80% depleted by 2030. Given currently available carbon budget estimates, the available global carbon budget for 1.5 ˚C C will already be well depleted by 2030.
The report provides updated results on the continuous monitoring of the three main greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Emissions are increasing in other developing countries: 6% for Indonesia and Malaysia; 9% for Pakistan and 12% for the Philippines.
The inaugural shipment of 500 units of the Made-in-India Citroen e-C3 to Indonesia was ceremonially flagged off today from Kamarajar Port, marking a significant moment in India’s journey towards sustainable mobility and global competitiveness.
Biofuels could have doubled the carbon dioxide emissions of the fossil fuels they replace - equivalent to putting half a million extra cars on the road - since a new law adding them to UK fuel came in a year ago, new research published by Friends of the Earth shows. million tonnes of extra carbon dioxide emissions.
Since parent company VinGroup opened up its automotive arm in Vietnam, we’ve witnessed VinFast continue to expand to new markets, including Indonesia, the US, Canada, Europe, and most recently, India – all while unveiling more all-electric models like the VF 3 compact SUV and an electric pickup concept called the Wild.
