1. Growing Competition for Clean Energy from Data Centers Drives CarbonCapture to Pause Megaton Carbon Removal Project
數據中心對清潔能源日益增長的競爭促使 CarbonCapture 暫停 Megaton 碳移除計劃
CarbonCapture, a California-based climate tech company, has paused its Project Bison, a Wyoming-based Direct Air Capture (DAC) carbon removal project, due to increased competition for renewable energy from data centers in the state. The company, which specializes in DAC technology, faced challenges in securing affordable clean energy, prompting the relocation of its first project outside Wyoming. Major tech companies like Microsoft and Amazon, which have increased their clean energy demands, are among CarbonCapture’s key buyers. Despite the pause, CarbonCapture plans to fulfill early carbon removal credits through a 2,000-ton-a-year pilot. The company continues exploring options for relocating the project.
加州氣候科技公司 CarbonCapture 暫停了位於懷俄明州的 Project Bison，這是一個直接空氣捕集（DAC）碳移除項目，原因是該州數據中心對可再生能源需求的競爭加劇。該公司專注於 DAC 技術，面臨獲取可負擔的清潔能源的挑戰，迫使其將首個項目遷出懷俄明州。包括微軟和亞馬遜等主要科技公司，隨著清潔能源需求的增加，成為 CarbonCapture 的重要客戶。儘管項目暫停，該公司計劃透過每年 2,000 噸的試點項目來履行早期的碳移除信用。該公司仍在探索重新安置項目的選項。
2. Australia Senate Passes New Mandatory Climate Disclosure Law
澳洲參議院通過了新的強制性氣候披露法案。
Australia's Senate passed a bill mandating climate reporting for large and medium-sized companies, marking a key move towards a national climate risk disclosure framework. The new legislation aligns with global standards, requiring companies to disclose climate risks, opportunities, and greenhouse gas emissions. Initially, it applies to large companies, followed by medium-sized firms two years later. This is part of the Albanese government's sustainable finance strategy, aimed at attracting private capital for a net-zero economy. Climate disclosure standards are being developed, with reporting for the largest companies starting in 2025.
澳洲參議院通過了一項法案，強制要求大型和中型企業進行氣候報告，這是邁向全國氣候風險披露框架的重要一步。新法規與全球標準接軌，要求企業披露氣候風險、機會及溫室氣體排放。此規定最初適用於大型企業，兩年後適用於中型企業。這是阿爾巴尼斯政府可持續金融策略的一部分，旨在吸引私人資本支持淨零經濟。氣候披露標準正在制定中，最大的企業將於2025年開始報告。
3. Robeco Launches New Climate Transition-Focused Equities Index Suite
Robeco 推出全新氣候轉型為主題的股票指數套件。
Robeco, an international asset manager, launched the Robeco Climate Equities Indices, a suite of indices aimed at supporting investments that contribute to reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change. The indices incorporate Robeco’s proprietary tools to assess stocks aligned with a low-carbon economy and emissions reduction targets. The new index family includes three indices: the Low-Carbon Climate Leaders Tilt Index, the Paris-Aligned Climate Leaders Tilt Index, and the Climate Leaders Equities Index, each catering to different climate investing strategies. These indices focus on companies aligned with the Paris Agreement and offering climate transition solutions.
國際資產管理公司 Robeco 推出了 Robeco 氣候股票指數，這是一系列旨在支持減少碳排放和緩解氣候變化的投資指數。這些指數採用了 Robeco 的專有工具來評估符合低碳經濟和排放減少目標的股票。該系列指數包括三個新指數：低碳氣候領導者傾斜指數、巴黎協定氣候領導者傾斜指數和氣候領導者股票指數，分別針對不同的氣候投資策略。這些指數側重於符合巴黎協定並提供氣候轉型解決方案的公司。
4. TotalEnergies Invests $100 Million in Forest-Based Carbon Reduction Projects
TotalEnergies 投資1億美元於森林為基礎的碳減排項目。
France-based energy company TotalEnergies announced a $100 million investment in forestry-based carbon reduction projects in partnership with Anew Climate and Aurora Sustainable Lands. The investment supports improved forest management across 300,000 hectares in 10 U.S. states, aiming to preserve carbon sinks, improve biodiversity, and protect natural habitats. TotalEnergies will acquire carbon credits from these projects to offset its Scope 1 & 2 emissions, aligning with its goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. This initiative is part of the company's broader strategy to invest $100 million annually in projects generating carbon credits.
法國能源公司 TotalEnergies 宣布與 Anew Climate 和 Aurora Sustainable Lands 合作，投資 1 億美元於森林為基礎的碳減排項目。該投資支持在美國 10 個州的 30 萬公頃土地上進行改良森林管理，旨在保護碳匯、改善生物多樣性並保護自然棲息地。TotalEnergies 將從這些項目中獲取碳信用額，以抵消其範疇 1 和範疇 2 的排放，符合其在 2050 年實現碳中和的目標。這項舉措是該公司每年投資 1 億美元於產生碳信用額項目整體策略的一部分。
5. Investment Flows into Transition-Focused Funds Doubles Green Funds: ESMA
根據歐洲證券及市場管理局（ESMA）的報告，流入轉型為主題的基金的投資額是綠色基金的兩倍。
Investor interest has shifted significantly towards transition-focused investments, which support companies moving from 'brown to green' rather than already-green investments. A report from the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) highlights that net inflows into transition funds have nearly doubled those into environmental funds over the past two years in the EU. Despite some political resistance to ESG investing, particularly in the U.S., transition-focused funds are gaining momentum. These funds invest in sectors like fossil fuels and utilities that have the potential to meet EU environmental goals, distinguishing them from green funds. ESMA also suggests creating a clearer framework for categorizing transition funds in the future.
投資者的興趣顯著轉向支持公司從「棕色轉型為綠色」的過渡型投資，而非專注於已經綠化的投資。歐洲證券及市場管理局（ESMA）的報告指出，過去兩年歐盟內流入過渡型基金的資金幾乎是環境基金的兩倍。儘管美國對 ESG 投資存在一定的政治阻力，過渡型基金正迅速崛起。這些基金投資於如化石燃料和公用事業等行業，具有達成歐盟環保目標的潛力，這使其與綠色基金有所區別。ESMA 也建議未來應建立更明確的過渡型基金分類框架。
