Feeling that summer energy ☀️ brightening your afternoon with our top positive climate news stories from this month ↓👏 ♻️ Wind turbines and solar panels generated 30% of the European Union’s electricity in the first six months of 2024, according to energy think tank Ember, while the share of fossil fuel generation fell to 27%: https://bit.ly/3MdnD5M 💰 The Royal Mint, maker of the UK's coins, has begun processing electronic waste to extract gold from it. Four thousand tonnes of e-waste should generate up to 450kg of gold, which is worth about £27m at current prices: https://bit.ly/4dFcA0W 🇦🇺 Australia’s largest lender has announced it will stop financing fossil fuel companies that don’t comply with the Paris Agreement’s climate goals by the end of 2024: https://bit.ly/4dvg1Yc      🥕 South Korea recycles 98% of its food waste, Almost all leftovers from homes and restaurants are turned into compost, animal feed and even energy: https://bit.ly/3yGwb1Z #ClimateNews #GoodNews #GoodNewsFeed #Sustainability #ClimateAction #NatureNews #PositiveNews #ClimateChange #ClimateActionNow #NewsUpdate #ClimateGoodNews #RenewableEnergy #SouthKorea #FoodWaste #RoyalMint #Australia #CommonwealthBank #ParisAgreement

How we’re driving climate action through innovative fieldwork ↓👏 Here, a soil core is being removed for analysis at a Split Field Monitoring Site set up in North East Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 This site, one of ten being established in Scotland this year, is located on the farm of our contractor SINCLAIR AGRICULTURAL & RECYCLING SERVICES LIMITED (SARS). One half of the field is spread with basalt, while the other is left unspread. Extensive soil sampling is conducted every month, and the differences are analysed to determine how our operations are positively affecting soil health and crop growth🌱 Learn more: https://bit.ly/4atQ3Cw  #ClimateAction #CarbonRemoval #EnhancedRockWeathering #ERW #SoilHealth #CarbonCapture  #EnhancedWeathering #ClimateActionNow #Science #FieldTrials #UNDOCarbon

🌍 We're excited to share that our Head of Carbon, Simon Manley, will be representing UNDO at Innovate4Climate in Berlin from September 10th to 12th! 🚀 Simon will join a panel of industry experts on September 11th at 12:45 pm for the workshop "Developing low-carbon projects in Europe: Challenges, opportunities, and impacts."

The Scottish summer is in full swing, and so is contractor Robert Hamilton, spreading basalt on farmland 🚜 This crucial step in enhanced rock weathering (ERW) helps supercharge soil health, boost crop productivity and capture carbon all at once 🪨 It's a win-win for agriculture and the environment! By spreading finely crushed silicate rock like basalt, we're enriching the soil with essential minerals such as potassium, magnesium and calcium. This natural process not only supports strong crop growth but also plays a vital role in increasing agricultural productivity 🌾👏 A big thank you to AgriSpread for the incredible footage! 🎥 Want to learn more about how ERW is making a difference?

Discover how removal and avoidance carbon credits are assessed, the importance of third-party verification and the challenges faced in maintaining transparency and trust in the carbon market. 🌱 Verified carbon credits are essential tools in the fight against climate change, driving sustainable development and supporting global carbon accounting. 📖 Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/eWnT85VS #ClimateAction #CarbonCredits #Sustainability #EnvironmentalBenefits #CarbonMarket #VerifiedCarbonCredits #UNDOCarbon #Transparency #GreenEconomy #VCM

After prioritising rapid decarbonisation, businesses often face the challenge of offsetting the remaining 10% of residual emissions. These hard-to-abate emissions, which account for the final 10-20% of a carbon footprint, typically come from supply chain elements tied to non-carbon-friendly sectors or areas lacking sustainable solutions. UNDO's technology, aligned with the Core Carbon Principles and the guidelines set by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), offers a robust solution for addressing these emissions. Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) permanently removes atmospheric carbon and stores it for thousands of years. This high-permanence carbon removal method also provides substantial co-benefits, such as improved soil health, enhanced food security and ocean deacidification 🌎🌱 With UNDO, businesses can effectively remove their hard-to-abate emissions and move closer to achieving net zero 🙌 Learn more about partnering with us: https://bit.ly/3ShpZnM #EnhancedWeathering #EnhancedRockWeathering #CarbonRemoval #NetZero #GreenBusiness #ClimateAction #ClimateActionNow #ClimateSolutions #CarbonOffsets #CarbonCredits #ResidualEmissions
