[New] Civil servants have been told to develop plans to support the industry by buying the CO 2 that is extracted as part of the UK's programme to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. [New] The decline of coal seems set to further accelerate due to the fact that a number of US utilities have set targets to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 in recent months. [New] The Singapore government has committed to phase out petrol and diesel cars by 2040, and to achieve net zero emissions as soon as viable in the second half of the century. [New] EPA is amending carbon dioxide standards for model years 2021 and later, and NHTSA is amending fuel economy standards for model year 2021 and setting new fuel economy standards for model years 2022-2026. [New] Temperatures exceeding 40 °C may be reached somewhere in the UK every 3.5 to 15 years by 2100 under continued greenhouse gas emissions. [New] India's transport sector can save 1.7 gigatonnes of cumulative carbon dioxide emissions and avoid about 600 million tonnes of oil equivalent in fuel demand by 2030 through shared, electric, and connected passenger mobility and cost-effective, clean, and optimised freight transport. [New] National government targets, such as the UK's to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, are helping to drive both the public and private sector to develop strategies and invest in processes and technologies that will enable organizations to deliver a low carbon future. [New] The UK's independent Committee on Climate Change says that the power sector could achieve emissions of 3 million tonnes of CO 2 equivalent in 2050. [New] ExxonMobil will continue to invest in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while meeting society's growing demand for energy. [New] All scenarios clearly demonstrate that EU industry must seize the opportunities of the circular and functional economy (where assets are rented, leased or shared, substituting ownership), to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 at the latest. [New] Launch of Plan Zero to reduce carbon emissions, with a target of Net Zero Carbon by 2025 which is 25 years ahead of the UK government's target of 2050. [New] The Italian firm, Eni is striving to reach net-zero emissions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources, to cut absolute emissions by 35% by 2030 and reach net-zero across absolute emissions by mid-century. [New] The Sustainable Innovation Fund will help power the UK's economic recovery and develop new sustainable opportunities for businesses in any sector following the coronavirus pandemic, while helping the UK meet its ambitions to cut carbon emissions to net zero by 2050. [New] The UK's greenhouse gas emissions fell by about 3.2% last year, but emissions must fall faster over the next 30 years to meet the target of net zero emissions by 2050. [New] The move towards electric transport will be vital in helping the UK meet its target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, while growing the economy and creating jobs in greener industries. [New] The EU needs to fully implement its energy efficiency first principle for the achievement of its 2030 targets and the long-term pathways towards net-zero emissions by 2050. [New] A zero-emission copper mine of the future will be significantly different from the current copper mining system, and will require fundamental changes in how the mine sources, consumes and abates energy. [New] The manufacturing of specialty paper generates a considerable amount of carbon emissions which hinders the growth of the global specialty paper market: Expect the market to exhibit moderate growth during 2020-2025. [New] Nuclear for Net Zero is a techno-economic assessment of the potential roles and contribution of nuclear energy in supporting a range of decarbonisation pathways modelled for the UK to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050. Anglo American aims to use renewable energy sources for all of its electricity consumption by 2022, and plans to reduce its global carbon dioxide emissions by 30% by 2030. Averting worse climate impacts will require reducing global greenhouse gas emissions by about 8% every year for the next decade to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Japan and South Korea have included support for hydrogen in post-Covid stimulus plans; Germany has recently launched a $10 billion strategy that will give a big boost to the use of hydrogen to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. Limiting global heating to 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels was likely to require coal power being cut by between 59% and 78% below 2010 levels by 2030, and for greenhouse gas emissions to reach net zero by 2050.
