Global Scans · Decarbonization · Weekly Summary

• [New] The Indiana facility will generate carbon removal credits representing more than 1,400 metric tons of permanent carbon storage each year. Miller Wood Trade Publications
• [New] Commercial awareness of the changing regulatory framework governing maritime biofuel use will be paramount in 2026 as international, domestic, and local regulators set sail towards fewer carbon emissions. JD Supra
• [New] The Port of Detroit Decarbonization and Air Quality Improvement Plan cites the Port of Detroit's goal to have half of all large vessels visiting its port using biofuel by 2027. JD Supra
• [New] Current California state plans require all new car sales to be zero-emission, meaning primarily electric, by 2035. PubMed Central (PMC)
• [New] Adapting several model parameters, such as remanufacturing emissions, EV sales, battery lifetimes, and applied recycling processes, can have a substantial impact on the EoL EV battery supply and GHG emission savings by 2050. PubMed Central (PMC)
• [New] Recycling of all EoL EV batteries results in GHG emission savings of about 48.3 MtCO2eq until 2050, driven by the replacement of primary raw materials in battery production. PubMed Central (PMC)
• [New] In California, EV sales shares have steadily increased recently, and state policies to achieve 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035 will further result in a rapidly growing number of EoL EV batteries. PubMed Central (PMC)
• [New] The HEFA pathway, representing approximately 85% of announced 2030 capacity, is approaching its feedstock ceiling as global supplies of used cooking oil and animal tallow are finite and already heavily utilized across multiple industries. Persistence Market Research
• [New] The global aviation sector's commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, as formalized by ICAO's Long-Term Aspirational Goal during the 41st Assembly, is propelling massive investments across the SAF value chain. Persistence Market Research
• [New] Annual carbon emissions between 2030 and 2045 could be reduced by up to 59,200 metric tons of CO2 equivalent with V2G and proactive grid upgrades, potentially yielding $47.5 million in cumulative carbon rebate revenue. National Today
• [New] Combined with nuclear energy, the share of low-emissions sources is forecast to reach 84% by 2030. IEA
• [New] We expect all of China's additional electricity demand in 2026-2030 to be met by low-emissions sources, renewables and nuclear energy. IEA
• [New] Low-emissions energy sources - renewables, led by solar, and nuclear - will see their share in global electricity generation rise to 50% through 2030, up from 42% in 2025. IEA
• [New] Constrained by growth in low-emissions sources, coal-fired generation globally is forecast to record slight declines, where demand growth through 2030 will be met by renewables, natural gas and nuclear. IEA
• [New] Major buyers are moving toward mandatory supplier carbon disclosure, with Tier 1 suppliers across 70 to 80% of spend expected to disclose Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in 2025, with product-level carbon footprint data expected by 2026 to 2028. Environment+Energy Leader
• [New] In Europe, FuelEU Maritime and the EU ETS are already in force, increasing carbon costs well before 2030. Splash247
• [New] Global investment in low-emissions hydrogen production climbed to USD 8 billion in 2025 - year-on-year growth of 80% - and expected growth in electrolyser deployment to 2030 is similar to the expansion seen as solar PV began to ramp up. IEA
• [New] With targeted efforts across industry and government, the transition to zero-emission HGVs has the potential to reduce dependency on imported fuels, create new jobs and position the UK as a leader in the electrification of freight. Engineering and Technology Magazine
• [New] Achieving a zero-emission heavy-duty vehicle fleet by 2050 is feasible but will necessitate extensive planning, coordination and investment in infrastructure, alongside robust government policy support. Engineering and Technology Magazine
• [New] Balancing long-term decarbonization commitments with short-term economic realities and regulatory frameworks will be a key test for Slovenia. PVKnowhow
• [New] Asia Pacific is expected to account for about 50% of global construction output by 2030, with China alone representing roughly 20% of worldwide construction investment, creating sizeable pull for low-carbon insulation materials. Persistence Market Research
• [New] Strategic equipment upgrades are expected to facilitate the transition toward carbon-neutral plastic processing operations globally. Persistence Market Research
