article Study Finds Many Plug-In Hybrid Cars Rarely Charged, Fuel Use Close to Petrol Models
February 23rd, 2026 • A new European study has found that many plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are driven largely on petrol rather than electricity, resulting in real-world fuel consumption far higher than official test figures. The findings raise fresh questions about the climate benefits of plug-in hybrids and their role in net-zero transport strategies.
article ECB Fines Crédit Agricole for Failing to Address Climate-Related Risk Controls
February 19th, 2026 • The European Central Bank has imposed a financial penalty on Crédit Agricole for failing to adequately comply with supervisory requirements on climate-related and environmental risks. The move underscores intensifying regulatory scrutiny of how major banks manage and disclose exposure to climate transition and physical risks.
article Underground Hydrogen Production Gains Attention as Low Carbon Alternative
February 19th, 2026 • A new approach to clean hydrogen production aims to generate the fuel directly underground, potentially reducing surface infrastructure, emissions, and costs. Researchers and energy companies are exploring geological hydrogen production as a complement to green and blue hydrogen strategies in their efforts to achieve net zero.
article Researchers Develop Integrated Thermal Energy Storage System to Support Building Decarbonization
February 19th, 2026 • A team of researchers has developed a new thermal energy storage system designed to help reduce emissions from buildings by improving the efficiency of heating and cooling. The technology integrates advanced materials and heat management techniques to store and release energy more effectively, supporting electrification and renewable integration in the built environment.
article ContourGlobal Allocates $657 Million from $1.1 Billion Green Bond to Renewables and Energy Storage Projects
February 19th, 2026 • ContourGlobal has allocated $657 million from its $1.1 billion green bond issuance to renewable energy and battery storage projects across multiple markets.

article Packaging Sustainability Efforts Falling Short of Climate Goals, Industry Leaders Warn
February 19th, 2026 • Corporate commitments to sustainable packaging are not delivering emissions reductions at the pace required to meet climate targets, industry experts said at a recent packaging conference. Speakers highlighted structural barriers, including limited recycling infrastructure, rising material demand, and inconsistent policy frameworks. Companies are now under pressure to move beyond incremental changes and adopt systemic solutions aligned with net zero strategies.
article HAMR Energy Secures $7 Million Series A to Advance Low Carbon Fuels for Aviation and Shipping in Australia
February 19th, 2026 • Australian clean fuels developer HAMR Energy has raised $7 million in Series A funding to accelerate production of low carbon fuels for aviation and maritime transport. The capital will support technology scale up and project development aimed at reducing emissions in two of the hardest to abate sectors.
article Study Identifies the Most Effective Climate Policies for Cutting Global Emissions
February 18th, 2026 • A large-scale international study has identified which climate policies have delivered the most significant emissions reductions across major economies. The findings show that well-designed carbon pricing, combined with sector-specific regulations and investment incentives, consistently achieves measurable results.
article Circular Economy Gains Ground in the Built Environment as Construction Sector Targets Net-Zero
February 18th, 2026 • The construction sector is under growing pressure to cut emissions, reduce waste and improve resource efficiency. A shift toward circular economy principles in the built environment is emerging as a key strategy to lower embodied carbon, extend material lifecycles and support net zero targets across global property markets.
