A new report by Eunomia, commissioned by the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and launched at COP29 this week, shows that a 40% reduction target in virgin plastics by 2040 would be an important enabler for climate impact reduction for the plastics industry, but it may not be enough to limit [...]
Our latest research reveals that using carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology on Energy from Waste (EfW) facilities could be some of the cheapest use of CCUS of any industrial sector, underpinning the UK’s Net Zero strategy, thanks in large part to the location of many facilities close to [...]
With wildfires spreading across the west coast of North America in past couple of weeks, our climate emergency specialist Alex Massie explains why this is something the UK should feel responsibility for as a historical emitter of greenhouse gases and calls on society to act on that responsibility by being [...]
For much of the past century, the car has been the ultimate status symbol. From the newly qualified teenager to the high-flying executive, the car has come to represent aspiration, success and freedom. But our love of the car has come at an environmental and public health price that we [...]
Liverpool City Council (LCC) has appointed Eunomia, the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE) and independent experts Sarah Toy and Jess Read to develop a roadmap for the city to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2030. Liverpool City joined 277 local authorities in declaring a climate emergency in 2019 and [...]

As a result, the demand for oil plummeted, and prices subsequently fell to historically low levels. Today the value of oil is back in the news because these changes led to dividend [...]
We are proud to announce that we have been commissioned by the Environment Agency to deliver a review of carbon reduction approaches. The UK government has set a target of achieving Net Zero by 2050. Net zero means that total Green House Gas emissions to the atmosphere are equal to, [...]
Measures to restrict movement to stop the spread of Covid-19 have resulted in less traffic and use of public transport. Many of us have also dusted off our old bikes. Some forward-thinking cities, including Milan and Bogotá, are now reallocating road space to active travel, so walkers and cyclists can [...]
As an environmentally-driven organisation, we encourage minimal travel, are geared up for the remote working of our staff and have regular meetings online. In the current situation, this experience gave us the confidence required to replace a full-day European Commission stakeholder engagement workshop in Brussels, with a 2-hour interactive webinar [...]
Our latest special report, published today, has found that rolling out electric refuse trucks would cut carbon dioxide emissions, reduce air pollution and cut down on costs, once monetised emissions are taken into account. The report, authored by a team of our waste operations and emissions experts, shows that switching [...]
