On August 19th, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (#FECM) announced their cutting-edge solution to fight against climate change by providing federal funding up to $127.5M. This funding will support not only the development of carbon dioxide (#Co2) capture, removal and conversion test centers but also those utilizing the 45Q tax credit, which can unlock significant investments in the future of #CCS. Developers and investors can collaborate with a tax equity expert, such as Foss & Company, to build and finance CCS projects by using section #45Q tax credits. To learn how to get involved with a #CCUS project using tax equity, contact our team today: https://bit.ly/3cOAM6G To learn more about the #DOE’s announcement, read the full article: https://bit.ly/470nOej #tax #taxcredits #taxequity #CCS #CCUS #carboncapture #DOE

Another brilliant report from Reclaim Finance sheds light on the consequences of unrestricted financing for LNG (Liquified Natural Gas). Are the new export terminals really necessary? Can a comparable investment (approximately $213b) be deployed on other, more sustainable projects? https://lnkd.in/d-si4N2D #sustainabledevelopment #transparency #stopgreenwashing #sustainability

Dmar International at the London Ship Finance Forum 2024 The panel discussion was concentrated around Alternative Fuels and Finance. Maritime is 80% of world trade and 3% of global carbon emissions. Future Fuels: Methanol: Green methanol requires 400 tonnes per voyage for an M-class vessel, needing 31 wind turbines to produce currently unsustainable. Other fuels like ammonia and hydrogen face scalability, safety, and cost issues. Regulation Pressures: EU regulations push for a greener fleet but create a two-tier market, with smaller operators (below 5,000 GT) struggling to comply. Decarbonization costs could drive inflation and require a global carbon tax or levy. Financing the Transition: Shipowners face technology risk and a lack of long-term charter certainty, deterring private capital investment. Governments are urged to fund infrastructure like carbon capture storage and provide subsidies to bridge cost gaps. Technological Innovations: Wind-assisted propulsion, hybrid systems, and offshore battery charging show promise for the existing fleet, but cost savings remain uncertain. Global Collaboration Needed: 60% of emissions come from the Global South and East, yet these regions are less willing to bear decarbonization costs. Harmonized international policies and standardized fuels are essential for progress. The forum emphasized that maritime decarbonization is not just a technological challenge but a global economic and policy priority. #ShippingFinance #Decarbonization #Sustainability #MaritimeInnovation #DMARInternational #ShippingFinance #MaritimeSustainability #offshorecrewing

Credible emissions data is vital for achieving a #NetZero future, yet regulation in the current carbon accounting landscape is complex and significant gaps remain. In our latest report from the newly launched ‘Operationalising a Carbon Regulator’ series, we examine the feasibility of establishing an independent Carbon Regulator to streamline carbon accounting practices and support a data-driven Net Zero economy. This report serves as a great introduction to regulation, detailing the establishment of new regulators, lessons from other sectors, and strategies for determining levels of independence and enforcement.

Energy Transformation, Low Carbon, Sustainability, ESG - Board Member at IGC DMCC and Industry Advisory Board at Heriot Watt
The Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (#PCAF) is working to broaden standards, enabling banks and financial institutions to claim credit for #emissions they help avoid through their financing. This new approach introduces Expected Emissions Reductions (EER) - a metric comparing emissions in a business-as-usual scenario with those achieved through science-based transition plans or asset retirements. For example, banks could claim avoided emissions by: ✅ Financing early retirement of coal plants ✅ Supporting a shift to renewable energy in industries like steel While promising for measuring contributions to the #netzero transition, this approach faces challenges, including: Data reliability; Methodology standardization; Balancing trade-offs with generated emissions. PCAF has launched a consultation process to refine how the industry reports the carbon impact of such investments. This is a significant step toward aligning financial capital with climate action. Should keep an eye on it as it shapes the future of sustainable finance! #SustainableFinance #NetZero #ClimateAction #CarbonAccounting

Chief Executive Officer at OEUK, the leading trade body for the integrating offshore energy sector
Pragmatism must prevail. Keir Starmer has acknowledged that North Sea oil and gas will be with us for decades to come and committed that the North Sea will be managed in a way that does not jeopardise jobs. Rachel Reeves and other senior figures in Labour have spoken of partnership with business. Managed transition they have said. These are comforting words, but for those of us living in energy communities like Aberdeen, there is fear that Labour policy will deliver exactly the cliff edge in energy investment that we must avoid. With supportive policy, our offshore energy industry can help underpin economic growth. UK offshore energy companies are set to invest £200 billion in homegrown energy production this decade alone investing in carbon storage, hydrogen, and wind opportunities alongside the homegrown oil and gas that we need. The opportunity to deliver a UK homegrown energy transition is huge. But while the ambition for a managed energy transition is welcome, the reality is that we are already seeing a slowdown in activity with a record low number of wells drilled in the North Sea so far this year. Many of the companies leading our transition to a low carbon future rely on the revenues from oil and gas to make that investment. As an energy rich nation, we are breaking records for our reliance on imports. We now produce less energy than at any time in the last 60 years. The UK spent a net £42 billion importing oil and gas last year; we should be prioritising our homegrown energy production. Now we have the Labour proposal for a further windfall tax on domestic oil and gas production. The detail matters, and managed poorly, this could result in a hard stop for investment in our homegrown sector with implications for the wider energy transition. A tax on windfall profits that do not exist will drive away investment from the UK and undermine jobs. The impacts will be felt by the very people needed to deliver UK wind, carbon storage, and hydrogen opportunities. We recognise the need to transform our energy system and deliver on our climate goals, but there is a better path that makes the most of our industrial strengths. If we don't choose this, the alternative is reliance on imported energy and the loss of our jobs without the economic and energy security benefits. An early test of the credentials of a potential Labour government is squaring a windfall tax on energy companies with the commitment to avoid a cliff edge in investment in our domestic oil and gas sector, and a desire to see the same companies invest in our energy transition. If successful on July 4th, Labour must honour their word to engage with us. Parties have put economic growth at the heart of their strategies, and our offshore energy sector can deliver just that. With our national debt at 100% of annual national income, the highest levels seen in sixty years, we need policies that attract private investment not deter it. We must get this right.
