Zero-Emissions Ferryboat to Glide Commuters Up and Down Historic River in European Capital
Lithuania’s capital Vilnius recently debuted a new electric ferryboat for transit up and down the River Neris. Called the Lašiša, it joins a trend of electric ferryboats on the famous rivers and bays of Europe such as the Elbe or the Copenhagen harbor. Tickets can be bought online and through an app for just €3, […]

Traffic Light Climate Impact Has Easy Fix to Cut Emissions 22% | Happy Eco News
Research shows traffic light climate impact accounts for 15% of U.S. transport emissions. MIT’s eco-driving simulations suggest smartphone-guided traffic smoothing could cut emissions 11–22%. The approach adapts to adoption levels and complements EVs and hybrids, offering a fast, scalable solution for cleaner mobility at intersections nationwide.

Sustainable practices could cut food-related emissions in half
Food systems make up roughly 30% of total greenhouse gas emissions globally. But transforming them could cut these emissions by more than half, according to a report released Oct. 3 from a commission of global experts from more than 35 countries across six continents.

Confirmed: July average of atmospheric CO2 at Mauna Loa was ~2.3 ppm higher than last year, at 427.9 ppm.
Overall, we're still speeding in the wrong direction!

Global CO2 storage capacity may be drastically overstated, study finds
A new analysis suggests that the “prudent” storage available for carbon dioxide to head off further global warming is more limited than other recent estimates. Accounting for the risks associated with carbon capture and storage (CCS), the study found that stashing carbon underground in suitable locations would likely reduce warming by only about 0.7° Celsius […]

By 2051, emissions from coal mining on federal lands could drop by 86%
Federal lands—which make up about 640 million acres, or 28%, of U.S. soil—are used for many purposes, including conservation, recreation, and extraction of resources such as coal. Greenhouse gas emissions are released throughout the life cycle of coal use, including during its mining, transport, and combustion.

Most carbon taxes are not designed to lower carbon emissions, study finds
Carbon taxes are widely seen as one of the most effective policy options for reducing emissions. However, the main rationale behind initially low carbon taxes is often not to reduce emissions but to generate tax revenues or meet international expectations, according to a study published in One Earth. As noted by the authors, the observations cast doubt on whether carbon taxes should always be viewed as climate policies.

Air quality analysis reveals minimal changes after xAI data center opens in pollution-burdened Memphis
Even before an Elon Musk-owned artificial intelligence company opened a data center in southwest Memphis, Tennessee, air pollution was so bad that residents of a nearby neighborhood were far more likely to get cancer from industrial air pollution than average Americans. Our analysis found that air pollution got only slightly worse as a result of the data center.

The International Maritime Organization's net-zero shipping regulations, effective from 2027, mandate emissions reductions and introduce a global carbon pricing mechanism. Ships over 5,000 gross tonnage must meet new fuel standards or face penalties. A fund will support low-emission technologies and assist developing nations in transitioning to cleaner maritime practices.
