This 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.
26 September is World Maritime Day 2024. This year’s theme ‘Navigating the future: safety first’ reflects the IMO's work to enhance maritime safety and security, in tandem with the protection of the marine environment. The theme also provides the opportunity to focus on the safety implications arising from the introduction of alternative fuels including measures to reduce GHG emissions from ships.
This new resource supports oil, gas and alternative energy companies and practitioners to undertake engagement with local stakeholders that moves beyond meeting the minimum expectations, by providing guidance on broader, inclusive and ongoing two-way processes for ‘meaningful engagement’.
Making offshore platforms more sustainable, enhancing emergency preparedness, leveraging artificial intelligence to advance the journey to net-zero, and developing a platform for ocean data – these are just some of the advancements our members are making across the globe to contribute to the energy transition in the context of sustainable development.
This guidance presents the first oil and gas specific set of circularity indicators, bringing together elements from a number of existing circular economy (CE) frameworks and providing qualitive and quantitative CE indicators to enable oil and gas companies to measure the circularity of their assets and material in/out flows.
The International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples takes place annually on 9 August to celebrate Indigenous Peoples and their knowledge. The theme this year is ‘Protecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples in voluntary isolation and initial contact’.
The July round-up shares advancements around e-methanol, hydrogen storage and deployment in heavy industries, biodiversity data, and circular economy for lubricants. We also share Ipieca insights and updates from our Global Initiative programmes with the IMO, the Bonn Climate Change Conference, and Ipieca Week 2024 stakeholder panels.
The increasing global movement of people and goods elevates the risk of the introduction, spread, and establishment of invasive alien species (IAS), impacting biodiversity and businesses. Ipieca and IOGP are pleased to launch updated guidance for prevention and management.
The June round-up covers the update of RETOS, contributions to conservation and communities, sustainable fuels, direct air capture and innovative salt plants. We also share the latest update on SDG 7 progress, as well as Ipieca insights from UN World Environment Day and UN World Oceans Day.
The May edition shares efforts to advance alternative fuels; support the livelihoods, health and wellbeing of local communities and workers; and protect biodiversity. We also share insights on the ambitions of the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter, and updates on how Ipieca is contributing to the Biodiversity Plan.
The website has been developed by the Future Fuels and Technology Project (FFT Project), a partnership project between IMO and the Republic of Korea, supporting the development of new regulation within the possible IMO Net-Zero Framework to achieve the targets contained in the 2023 IMO GHG strategy.
