The Ipieca sustainability article round-up showcases recent sustainability-related achievements, projects and news from Ipieca members, demonstrating their support for the Ipieca Principles around advancing environmental and social performance across the energy transition. We also highlight initiatives from our partner organizations and share insights from key United Nations meetings.
September’s round up shares Ipieca members’ investment in renewables—with two members set to develop over 3 GW of solar power. It features carbon capture and storage, and hydrogen projects and solutions, and highlights how electrifying operations can lead to large emissions reductions. We also share Ipieca UN stakeholders’ educational and air quality initiatives.
