SAN LEANDRO, Calif., April 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- C-Crete Technologies, a pioneer in the development of cement-free concretes devoid of CO2 emissions, announces its deployment of the world's first basalt-based concrete, another significant move forward in the company's development of eco-conscious construction materials.

Key Points: 
  • Basalt is primarily composed of silicon, aluminium and calcium, three of the Earth's most abundant elements.
  • In terms of volume, it is more abundant than the limestone used for manufacturing Portland cement.
  • "This pour was that research and development step that proves an idea works, with validation from a real-world placement."
  • Because cement companies are going to want to adopt this technology, just like the steel industry converted from [coal] blast furnaces to electric arc furnaces."

Oil bosses call phasing out fossil fuels a ‘fantasy’ – but an international agreement is plausible

Such a phase-out requires international cooperation to restrict the supply of fossil fuels, including coal, oil and gas.

Key Points: 
  • Such a phase-out requires international cooperation to restrict the supply of fossil fuels, including coal, oil and gas.
  • If such cooperative efforts are pursued alongside ambitious action to tackle the demand for fossil fuels, it could lead to environmental and economic benefits.
  • Some countries are already taking unilateral action to restrict fossil fuels, by, for instance, banning new oil and gas exploration or extraction.
  • While no international agreement on limiting the supply of fossil fuels yet exists, there are precursors which have tended to take two different forms.

Who’s in? Who’s out?

  • They would be followed by countries that have low reserves and low profits from fossil fuels, such as Argentina, Brazil, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico and Turkey.
  • Our data suggests that petrostates such as Russia and Saudi Arabia would be the most reluctant to join because fossil fuel production is so central to their economies.
  • We acknowledge that our scenarios for international efforts to phase out fossil fuels are not necessarily aligned with geopolitical realities.
  • For one, there is the shaky relationship between key countries such as the US and China to consider.
  • A club of like-minded countries could pave the way for a wider coalition, but major fossil fuel producers would need to join eventually for it to succeed.

Economic consequences

  • Fossil fuel prices will inevitably rise as their supply is squeezed by a phase-out.
  • Only phasing out oil may result in higher economic costs, due to its ubiquity in global supply chains and production processes.
  • International cooperation will be crucial, especially to lessen the economic impact on developing countries that are heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels.
  • Lauri Peterson received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement no.
  • Panagiotis Fragkos received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement no.

21 March 2024 – The global liquefied natural gas (LNG) market could be transformed and potentially bifurcate if the European Union (EU) extends its carbon taxes to include LNG imports, according to the Wood Mackenzie’s latest Horizons report.

Key Points: 
  • 21 March 2024 – The global liquefied natural gas (LNG) market could be transformed and potentially bifurcate if the European Union (EU) extends its carbon taxes to include LNG imports, according to the Wood Mackenzie’s latest Horizons report.
  • The EU has extended its Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) to shipping, meaning that LNG cargoes into Europe will be subject to a carbon tax from 2024.
  • The report, titled Call of duties: How emission taxes on imports could transform the global LNG market’ concludes that if the trading bloc goes further and tightens it methane regulation or includes LNG in its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) – effectively placing an import duty on LNG at prevailing ETS carbon prices – then Wood Mackenzie predicts that the global LNG market would split.
  • “If the EU decides to apply these levies, then this will push European gas prices up but also bifurcate the global LNG market, creating a two-tier LNG market,” says Massimo Di Odoardo, Vice President of Gas & LNG Research at Wood Mackenzie.
