Hydrogen-based direct reduction (H-DRI) technology is quickly gathering pace in Europe, with multiple announcements of new plants. Other steel producers, particularly outside Europe, are considering retrofitting their integrated steel mills with carbon capture and storage (CCS) to enable use of existing equipment. However, not all new steel-making technologies will deliver deep emissions cuts, and while the effective carbon price paid by steel producers remains relatively low, all of these technologies will come at an additional cost. ERM research for the IEAGHG R&D Programme profiling the lifecycle costs and emissions of emerging lower carbon steel technology pathways within the EU reveals these three trends.

Asian Pacific countries must urgently scale up a robust and resilient wind energy supply chain to meet their renewables targets. Currently, the region over relies on production in China and India and its supply chain is not prepared to deliver wind energy projects at the scale needed.  The good news: the APAC region has a wealth of capabilities within existing companies that can be scaled up or pivoted to the wind industry. With a collaborative, cross-border approach, the APAC supply chain could grow to meet increased regional and global demands while becoming more competitive, diversified, and resilient. These are the findings from a new report co-authored by ERM and Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), ‘Building the Asia Pacific Wind Supply  Chain for a 1.5°C World’. Through desktop research, local GWEC and ERM expert knowledge, and more than 100 consultations with APAC industry experts, we assessed and mapped APAC’s existing supply chain capabilities and their expected growth according to recent GWEC market forecasts.  The report names four key challenges facing supply chains and seven actions that companies and governments can take to bolster them.

AASB S2 is a standard that requires entities to disclose information about climate-related risks and opportunities and will be effective from 1 January , 2025. This is not just about reporting emissions; it is about detailing the transition your company needs to achieve net zero by 2050, the impact of climate risks on financial performance, and the opportunities these changes represent for your company. The ERM Energetics ASRS Readiness Assessment helps your business understand any gaps and shore up a plan to meet reporting requirements Take a readiness assessment to identify any gaps your business may have: https://lnkd.in/gCG9K3Bd

The Nature Tech Alliance’s research and interviews for its whitepaper, "The Nature Tech Revolution: The Tools to Move from 'Do No Harm' to 'Nature-Positive'” revealed a wide range of preparedness and performance on nature-related issues across companies and sectors. Responding to these insights, the Alliance developed a common vision to harness the power of nature technologies to solve these challenges. At its foundation is a performance framework illustrating how companies are evolving from compliance-driven approaches to nature to more innovative, outcome-based measurements and actions. Explore the performance framework and the common vision for nature action that supports it: https://lnkd.in/eAeAzRpW #cop29 #sustainability #nature #naturetech Salesforce | NatureMetrics | Planet

With more than 1,360 GW of offshore wind currently in development globally, countries around the world are betting on offshore wind energy to help decarbonize both their electricity supply and industrial sectors. Integrating this rapidly increasing share of renewables into the onshore energy system requires new ways to balance energy supply and demand. To address the challenge of integrating offshore power, governments are starting to build criteria into offshore wind tenders, requiring project developers to provide system integration solutions.
