Shell Low Carbon Fuels Sustainability Manager and Ipieca Sustainability of Biofuels Task Force Co-Chair Anne Romeo explains what biofuels are, how they are used, their potential benefits and the sustainability considerations that shape their role in the energy transition.
Ipieca has launched a series of five fact sheets exploring water use and stewardship across technologies and value chains relevant to the energy transition. The series covers natural gas, liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, and cooling systems.
Carbon capture and storage and green hydrogen projects take centre stage in the October round-up, showcasing industry leadership on industrial decarbonisation. We also share initiatives and updates from the UN on managing contributions to the SDGs, reducing mercury pollution, advancing sustainable biofuels and alternative marine fuels, plus the latest Oil & Gas Climate Initiative progress report.
Ipieca and IUCN have launched the Principles for marine net positive impact, supporting energy companies and other stakeholders seeking to translate voluntary marine net positive impact ambition into credible, measurable and lasting gains for biodiversity and nature.
The week featured discussions on renewable energy, energy efficiency, cleaner electricity systems, resilient energy infrastructure, energy financing and the role of sustainable fuels in supporting the energy transition. Participants highlighted the importance of integrated approaches that strengthen energy security, affordability and sustainability while accelerating progress towards climate goals.
