Understanding Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions
This article provides an overview of Scope 1, 2, and 3, and focuses on the environmental impact of business travel, which falls under Scope 3.
The Innovator – An alternative to fossil fuels made from CO2, water and sunlight
Global demand for both oil and gas is set to peak by 2030, according to the latest International Energy Agency (IEA) projections. If governments act to reach Net Zero emissions by mid-century, which is necessary to keep the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C within reach, oil and gas use would decline by more than 75% by 2050.
Bloomberg – The future is bright for turning sunlight into sustainable jet fuel
Bloomberg’s article highlights the huge potential of SAF to decarbonize aviation. To achieve a successful energy transition, SAF technologies must be scaled now, supported by strategic partnerships and investments. The article also covers the strategic partnership of Lufthansa Group, Swiss International Air Lines, and Synhelion.
