This is primarily due to a significant surplus in the Class 2 market that occurred in 2022 and is expected to remain throughout 2023-2024, mainly owing to growing production of low-grade nickel in Indonesia. Nickel use remains very robust in the long run, driven by higher demand in the battery sector and renewable energy. Mt to 3.22

While the finely tailored and pampered leaders of the G8 met in Italy to talk the issue of climate change to death and do nothing tangible about it, activists with a more realistic sense of urgency started to take the necessary action to start cutting greenhouse gases right now.

New study finds GHG emissions from palm oil production significantly underestimated; palm oil biofuels could be more climate-damaging than oil sands fuels

Green Car Congress

APRIL 27, 2012

Slightly more than half of the GHG emissions for these biofuels in the EPA’s analysis came from land use change. At those levels, palm oil biofuels do not meet the minimum 20% greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction compared to the statutory baseline for petroleum-based diesel performance threshold required for renewable fuel under the RFS program.

The report also covers an assessment of the potential contribution from reductions in short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). CO 2 emissions have remained stable since 2014, driven in part by renewable energy, notably in China and India, however the atmospheric concentration continues to increase ( earlier post ).

Crude palm oil is one of the more than ten renewable raw materials that Neste uses to produce a range of renewable products, including renewable diesel. Palm oil represents approximately 20% of Neste’s renewable raw material usage annually. The potential that the method offers is enormous, Neste said.

Emissions of two of the most important climate change gases increased last year, according to a preliminary analysis for NOAA’s annual greenhouse gas index, which tracks data from 60 sites around the world. When related climate affects are taken into account, methane’s overall climate impact is nearly half that of carbon dioxide.

Inefficient fossil fuel subsidies encourage wasteful consumption, distort markets, impede investment in clean energy sources and undermine efforts to deal with climate change. This reform will not apply to our support for clean energy, renewables, and technologies that dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Biodiesel mandates can increase palm oil demand directly (the European Biodiesel Board recently reported big increases in biodiesel imported from Indonesia) and also indirectly, because palm oil will replace oil from rapeseed or soy in food if they are instead used to make biodiesel.

Since 15 April 2008, the Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation (RTFO) has required suppliers to add biofuels to fuel in an attempt to cut climate-changing emissions. In theory biofuels are good for the climate because plants absorb carbon, which is re-released when the fuel is burnt.
