‘Green’ energy transition leaves a dirty trail in the Philippines’ nickel belt
MINDANAO, Philippines — Communities living near mining operations in the southern Philippines’ Caraga region are feeling the toll of the global energy transition, with nickel mining driving deforestation and pollution, according to a recent report. Climate Rights International (CRI), the U.S.-based NGO behind the report, highlighted harms to the environment, local livelihoods and public health […]

"What are transition credits? Philippines takes novel approach to coal phase-out"

Could ‘transition credits’ be the key to unlocking a coal-free Asia?
This novel take on carbon credits could cure Asia's coal addiction - but critics are sceptical.

How the coupling of green finance and green technology innovation affect synergistic effect of pollution and emission carbon reduction: evidence from China
Amid China's dual-carbon transition, the synergistic alignment of green finance with green-technology innovation is pivotal for co-controlling pollution and CO2 emissions. Using panel data for 266 Chinese prefecture-level cities over 2007-2023, We construct the coupling coordination index system of green finance and green technology innovation via a coupling-coordination model and systematically analyzes influencing mechanism of synergistic effect of pollution and carbon reduction. Four finding…

Checking on the Ceres FPGA board sims for @… that I had running while I was away. We're looking at a PCIe differential pair layer transition plus AC coupling capacitor.
With no cutout (green trace) response is awful: -3 dB insertion loss at 9.1 GHz, and -10 dB return loss at only 2.8 GHz.
Adding the cutout in the gerbers (blue trace) ma…

The greenwashing of fracked gas is getting in the way of winning important climate policies that would help us transition to a green economy. But we can make a big difference by exposing corporate lies.
If we can dispel the myth that gas is safe and clean, then we can get it out of our homes.

In-situ characterisation and data-driven crystal plasticity analysis of short-to-long crack transition in a ductile aluminium alloy
Crack arrest in ductile alloys plays a critical role in damage-tolerant design for aerospace and structural applications, yet the transition from microstructure-sensitive short cracks to load-controlled long cracks remains poorly understood. Here, we present an in-situ, high-resolution experimental study of crack propagation in cold-worked 5052 aluminium alloy using scanning electron microscopy digital image correlation (SEM-DIC), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and novel data-driven c…

EU climate law delays carbon tax on buildings and transport to 2028
An EU law setting a 2040 emissions reduction target of 90% has been backed by lawmakers, closing a controversial political debate on the bloc's green transition – but the introduction of a carbon tax on construction and road transport has been pushed back.

Technology innovation in evolutionary green transition: environmental quality and economic sustainability
We propose an evolutionary model to study the transition toward green technology under the influence of innovation. Clean and dirty technologies are selected according to their profitability under an environmental tax, which depends on the overall pollution level. Pollution itself evolves dynamically: it results from the emissions of the two types of producers, naturally decays, and is reduced through the implementation of the current abatement technology. The regulator collects tax revenues an…
