September has seen a number of low-carbon fuels announcements, with various initiatives from Ipieca members Moeve, OMV, PETRONAS and Shell as well as stakeholders IRENA and ICAO, aiming to provide alternative fuels to support the decarbonisation of shipping or aviation.
One of Ipieca’s core roles is to support UN conventions and agreements. We provide technical input when requested, raise awareness and support, and develop good practice guidance that enables the oil, gas and alternative energy industry to advance these global frameworks.
The August round-up celebrates the Northern Lights project’s successful first injection and storage of CO2, and shares a new Scope 3 environmental value trading scheme which promotes sustainable aviation fuel. We also highlight collaboration to support Australia’s marine biodiversity, as well as initiatives from Ipieca association members and partners, such as a nationwide industry workforce survey and a regional office to support maritime coordination in the Pacific.
Learn how members are advancing biofuels and CCS to decarbonise transport and heavy industries; investing in forests to enhance carbon sinks; supporting socio-economic development in local communities; streamlining health compliance; and offering free training for the energy transition. We also share news from the IUCN, UNEP-WCMC, Methane Guiding Principles and UN Climate Change.
This quarter Ipieca attended the Bonn Climate Conference, supporting preparations for COP30 and provided technical input to the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting. We also raised awareness of the UN Ocean Conference and various UN International Days, as well publishing five resources aligned with UN conventions and initiatives.
The June edition highlights efforts to scale up carbon removal and renewable energy solutions, contribute to environmental and climate research, and support the next generation of energy professionals and startups. We also share news from our partners to support healthy oceans, emissions reductions, climate adaptation and sustainable aviation.
