This quarter Ipieca attended the UNFCCC Bonn Climate Change Conference, UNEP-WCMC Nature Action Dialogues, ICAO Aviation Climate Week and IMO sessions. We also raised awareness of several UN days, and published two resources aligned with UN conventions and initiatives.
From a fuel-flexible gas turbine for shipping, a carbon credits initiative mobilising ecological restoration and green jobs in the Amazon, to a real-time methane emissions management platform, and a clean cooking programme—Ipieca members are continuing to innovate and deliver practical, scalable solutions to sustainability challenges across the globe.
The May round-up showcases members’ commitment to support the local communities where they operate including flood relief support, fund raising for local non-profits, scholarships and internships. We also cover progress on biofuels, nature-based solutions and solar facilities as well as a partnership approach to assist industrial customers’ decarbonisation efforts.
The April round-up showcases continued investment in the energy transition alongside community and nature focused initiatives. Key themes include financing for low-carbon fuels, quantifying carbon stock in Brazil, partnerships to support education, and marine and coastal ecosystem restoration.
The Review demonstrates how Ipieca is delivering on its strategic intent and provides a summary of activities and outputs from across Ipieca's work programme. It also features testimonials from member CEOs and stakeholders, as well as insights from working group Chairs.
This quarter Ipieca attended the UNCBD Regional Africa Business & Biodiversity Forum and the IMO technical seminar on marine biofuels. We also raised awareness of the UN World Water Day, as well publishing two resources aligned with UN conventions and initiatives.
The March round-up showcases members’ support for a range of energy transition technologies including floating solar, green hydrogen, bio-methanol and geothermal power. It also highlights how member companies contribute to the communities in which the operate through STEM programmes and hospital expansion projects. We share updates from our partners including the IMO’s technical seminar on marine biofuels and OGCI’s collaboration with Carbon Mapper.
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.
As my secondment with Ipieca comes to an end after more than six incredible years, I’ve been reflecting on the milestones, challenges, achievements but especially people that shaped this journey. Numbers often tell the story better than words, so I’d like to share some of the figures that defined my time.
The November round-up shares several announcements and initiatives off the back of COP30. Other highlights include ConocoPhillip’s impactful 20-year malaria elimination project in Equatorial Guinea, Eni’s contribution to quality education in Côte d'Ivoire, GeoPark’s adoption of TNFD, and the launch of an ISO standard for biodiversity.
The October round-up showcases the industry’s innovation—from the industrial production of renewable gas to splitting methane into its valuable components. We also highlight partnership as a backbone of progress across CCS, flare reduction, energy transition, circular economy, and regional outreach.
Collaboration was central to our activities this quarter, including publishing a joint IUCN-Ipieca guidance on co-use opportunities in wind and solar, signing a Memorandum of Cooperation with the ASEAN Council on Petroleum and Energy, and co-hosting a series of webinars with other industry associations, which reached over 2,600 participants.
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.
Ipieca’s strategy will lead the integration of climate, nature and people actions across the oil, gas and alternative energy industry value chain, driving the delivery of diverse pathways to net-zero, supporting the resilience and rehabilitation of local communities and ecosystems, and enabling the industry to adapt to the changing reporting landscape.
Advancing cross-border renewable energy supply, improving national healthcare, scaling up low-carbon energy solutions, boosting food production, and supporting the development of local communities. We also share insights from partners on benefits-sharing agreements, the role of nature in sustainable development, and the current security and human rights landscape in Brazil.
Find out how Ipieca members are enhancing nature-based solutions, understanding local biodiversity, advancing CCS, and supporting sustainable energy transitions. We also share insights from Ipieca’s recent engagement with the IMO, Voluntary Principles Initiative, and other UN bodies.
