1.New H&M-Backed Textile Recycling Startup Syre Raises $100 Million
H&M 支持紡織回收初創公司 Syre 籌資到了 1 億美元
Syre, a textile recycling initiative co-founded by H&M Group and impact-focused investor Vargas, has raised $100 million in a Series A funding round. This investment will facilitate the construction of a blueprint production plant in North Carolina, planned to commence operations later this year. Syre's strategy focuses on enhancing circularity in the textile industry by converting waste polyester into reusable materials. This effort aligns with their broader goal under the "Ambition 2039" strategy to make their new vehicle fleet carbon neutral by 2039. The company plans to scale up to twelve global plants over the next decade, aiming to produce over 3 million metric tons of recycled polyester annually and reduce CO2 emissions by over 15 million metric tons. The funding will also support the establishment of two gigascale recycling plants in Vietnam and Iberia, strategically chosen for their pivotal roles in the textile supply chain.
Syre是由H&M集團與專注於影響投資的Vargas共同創立的紡織回收計劃，已通過A輪融資籌集到1億美元。這筆投資將用於在北卡羅來納州建設一個示範生產工廠，計劃於今年稍後開始運營。Syre的策略重點是通過將廢棄的聚酯轉化為可再利用的材料，增強紡織業的循環利用。這一努力符合其更廣泛的目標，即根據"2039年抱負"策略，使其新車隊在2039年達到碳中和。該公司計劃在未來十年內在全球擴建至十二個工廠，每年生產超過300萬公噸的回收聚酯，並減少超過1500萬公噸的二氧化碳排放。這筆資金還將支持在越南和伊比利亞建立兩個巨型回收工廠，這兩個地區因其在紡織供應鏈中的關鍵作用而被選中。
2.EU Adopts Environmental, Human Rights Sustainability Due Diligence Law
歐盟通過環境與人權可持續性盡職調查法
The European Council has confirmed the approval of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), finalizing the legislation that imposes mandatory requirements on large companies to mitigate their adverse impacts on human rights and the environment across their value chains. Originally proposed by the European Commission in February 2022, the CSDDD has faced several revisions amid significant political debate, ultimately narrowing its scope to larger enterprises and extending the timeline for its full application. The directive now targets companies with at least 1,000 employees and over €450 million in revenue, reducing the affected entities by approximately two-thirds compared to initial proposals. Key provisions include identifying and addressing issues such as child labor, pollution, and deforestation, aligning business operations with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C goal, and establishing supervisory authorities to enforce compliance. The phased implementation begins in 2027 for the largest firms, expanding in subsequent years, with the final set of companies included by 2029.
歐洲理事會今天宣布成員國批准企業可持續性盡職調查指令（CSDDD），這標誌著針對大型公司設置強制性義務以解決其對人權和環境的負面影響的立法的最終步驟。 CSDDD最初於2022年2月由歐洲委員會提出，經過多次修訂並在政治辯論中最終縮小了其適用範圍，延長了其完全適用的時間表。 指令現在針對至少有1000名員工和超過4.5億歐元收入的公司，與最初的提案相比，受影響的實體減少了約三分之二。 主要條款包括識別和解決童工、污染和森林砍伐等問題，使業務運作與巴黎協定的1.5°C目標保持一致，並建立監管機構以強制執行合規性。 分階段實施始於2027年對最大公司開始，隨後幾年擴大，到2029年包括最後其他公司。
3.Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs: China will complete the world’s largest reduction in carbon intensity in the shortest time in history
中國外交部：中國將以史上最短的時間完成全球最大碳強度降幅
On May 23, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin held a regular press briefing. A reporter asked about the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea's issuance of an advisory opinion on climate change at the request of the Commission on Climate Change and International Law of Small Island States. Wang noted that the opinion, released on May 21, reaffirms the central role of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in addressing climate issues. It also highlights that environmental obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea should consider the international rules and standards of the UNFCCC system. Wang emphasized China's active participation in the process, its respect for international rule of law, and its contribution to improving global climate and marine governance. He reiterated China’s commitment as a responsible developing country to addressing climate change and working internationally on climate change mitigation and marine environmental protection.
5月23日，中國外交部發言人汪文斌舉行例行記者會。有記者就國際海洋法法庭針對小島嶼國家氣候變化與國際法委員會的請求發表咨詢意見提問。汪文斌指出，咨詢意見確認《聯合國氣候變化框架公約》體系在處理氣候變化問題中的核心地位。中方深入參與案件全過程，提出了建設性觀點，強調《聯合國氣候變化框架公約》體系的基礎和核心作用，為完善全球氣候海洋治理體系作出貢獻。汪文斌表示，中國作為負責任的發展中大國，實施積極應對氣候變化的國家戰略，願與國際社會協作，共同應對氣候變化和保護海洋環境。
4.Circular Economy Technology Provider Circtec Raises $163 Million to Build Large-Scale Tire Recycling Plant
循環經濟技術供應商Circtec籌集1.63億美元，建設大型輪胎回收廠
Circular economy technology firm Circtec, based in the UK, announced the successful raising of €150 million (USD$163 million) to fund the construction of Europe's largest tire pyrolysis recycling facility in Delfzijl, Netherlands. Since its inception in 2009, Circtec has specialized in pyrolysis technology that transforms end-of-life tires into renewable fuels and circular chemicals. The planned facility aims to process about 5% of Europe's annual 3.6 million tons of end-of-life tires, potentially reducing 3% of the GHG emissions from the Dutch chemical industry. The funding round, led by Novo Holdings and A.P. Moller Holding, includes €75 million in equity investments and €22.5 million in grants from the Dutch government. Circtec's CEO, Allen Timpany, emphasized the investment's role in scaling the company’s sustainable technology globally.
循環經濟技術公司Circtec宣布已成功籌集1.5億歐元（1.63億美元），用於在荷蘭Delfzijl建設歐洲最大的廢輪胎裂解回收設施。自2009年成立以來，Circtec專注於裂解技術，將報廢輪胎轉化為可再生燃料和循環化學品。該設施計劃處理歐洲每年360萬噸報廢輪胎中的約5％，有望減少荷蘭化工行業3％的溫室氣體排放。此次融資由Novo Holdings和A.P. Moller Holding領投，包括7500萬歐元的股權投資和2250萬歐元的荷蘭政府資助。Circtec的首席執行官Allen Timpany強調了這筆投資在全球擴大公司可持續技術方面的作用。
5.UK Proposes Expanding Emissions Trading Scheme to New Sectors, Carbon Removals
英國提議將碳排放交易計劃擴展到新行業和碳排放移除
The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) Authority today announced a consultation phase to expand its carbon pricing system into new sectors, specifically targeting energy from waste and waste incineration, along with considering the integration of engineered greenhouse gas removal technologies like Direct Air Capture (DAC). Initiated in 2021 to succeed the UK’s involvement in the EU ETS, the UK ETS regulates greenhouse gas emissions by setting caps that decrease over time, encouraging companies to reduce emissions or purchase allowances. Proposed changes include monitoring waste sector emissions from 2026 with mandatory inclusion in the ETS by 2028. Additionally, the consultations will explore incorporating carbon sequestration through new woodland creation into the ETS, supporting the UK's net zero ambitions.
英國排放交易計劃(ETS)管理局今天宣布啟動一系列諮詢，擬將碳定價系統擴展到新行業，包括來自廢物的能源和廢物焚燒行業，並考慮將工程化溫室氣體移除技術（如直接空氣捕獲DAC）整合進ETS。英國ETS於2021年啟動，取代了英國參與歐盟ETS的角色，通過設定逐步降低的排放上限來規範關鍵行業的溫室氣體排放，鼓勵企業減少排放或購買配額。擬議的變更包括從2026年開始監測廢物行業排放，並於2028年強制納入ETS。此外，諮詢將探討將通過新建林地碳固存整合到ETS的可能性，支持英國的淨零目標。

6.Holcim Launches GO4ZERO Plant in Belgium, Aiming for 2 Million Tons of Net Zero Cement Annually by 2029
Holcim在比利時啟動GO4ZERO工廠，力求到2029年每年生產200萬噸淨零碳水泥
The groundbreaking ceremony for the GO4ZERO project by Holcim took place in Obourg, Belgium, aiming to establish Europe's premier large-scale net-zero cement production facility. With a hefty investment exceeding EUR 500 million, this facility is designed to produce 2 million tons of carbon-neutral cement annually by 2029. The project benefits from substantial financial backing, including EUR 230 million from the EU's Innovation Fund, derived from the EU Emissions Trading System. The initiative, endorsed by Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo and European Commissioner for Climate Action Wopke Hoekstra, is set to revolutionize cement manufacturing by utilizing over 95% alternative fuels and incorporating more than 30% decarbonized raw materials from industrial waste. Expected to cut CO2 emissions by 30% by 2027, the facility will also host Europe's largest array of floating solar panels, showcasing a commitment to renewable energy integration.
Holcim 在比利時 Obourg 舉行的 GO4ZERO 項目開工典禮，旨在建立歐洲首個大規模的零碳水泥生產設施。該設施計劃投資超過 5 億歐元，到 2029 年每年生產 200 萬噸碳中和水泥。該項目得到了包括來自歐盟創新基金的 2.3 億歐元在內的大量財政支持，這些資金來自歐盟排放交易系統。比利時總理亞歷山大·德克羅和歐盟氣候行動專員沃普克·霍克斯特拉支持這一倡議，該計劃將通過使用超過 95％的替代燃料和包含超過 30％的來自工業廢料的脫碳原料來革新水泥製造。預計到 2027 年將二氧化碳排放量減少 30％，該設施還將設有歐洲最大的浮動太陽能板陣列，展示了對可再生能源整合的承諾。
