We extend our appreciation for every single one of our readers and our amazing team of writers who keep the ball rolling every day. We couldn\u2019t do this without you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OUR TOP CLIMATE STORIES- <\/strong>The UAE\u2019s National Central Cooling Company (Tabreed) has been named preferred bidder for a long-term district cooling concession for the Hyderabad Pharma City in Telangana and Egypt\u2019s Pathfinder Energy Group is planning to set up 500 EV charging stations in Jordan at a total investment of USD 470 mn in partnership with the country\u2019s Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry and Egypt\u2019s East Gas Company.<\/p>\n<p><strong>^^ We have more on these stories in the news well, below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>HAPPENING TODAY- <\/strong><strong>The <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/event\/tc3\">COP27 Transitional Committee<\/a><\/strong><strong> is kicking off today in the Dominican Republic and running until Friday, 1 September. <\/strong>The meeting aims to establish institutional arrangements, modalities, governance structures, and terms of reference for the landmark Loss and Damage Fund while expanding sources for climate funding under the program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE BIG CLIMATE STORY OUTSIDE THE REGION- It\u2019s quiet on the climate front, but a<\/strong> <strong>move by youths to sue governments over climate change received backing from the UN.<\/strong> The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child said that all countries have a legal obligation to protect children from environmental degradation, including the climate crisis, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/environment\/un-seeks-help-children-battling-climate-change-court-2023-08-28\/\">Reuters<\/a> reported yesterday. In an updated document, the UN body described environmental degradation as \"a form of structural violence against children,\" stating countries should give access to justice for children, by \u201cremoving barriers for children to initiate proceedings themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While non-binding, the guidance remains notable with some 16k children from over 100 countries consulted during a broad dialogue during the two-year drafting period. It comes at a time when children are finding themselves at the forefront of climate lawsuits as they become more aware of their rights. Some of the most notable youth-led lawsuits include a recent landmark win to youths plaintiffs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/climate-environment\/2023\/08\/14\/youths-win-montana-climate-trial\/\">in Montana in a climate change case<\/a> and an upcoming case by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/environment\/upset-climate-inaction-young-people-gird-european-court-battle-2023-08-23\/\">six youths from Portugal<\/a> taking 32 European countries to court after deadly wildfires in their country in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The finding by the UN body also got coverage from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/08\/28\/climate\/united-nations-children-climate-lawsuit.html\">The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>WATCH THIS SPACE #1-<\/strong><strong> Egypt wants to up green cooperation with BP: <\/strong>Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi said his country hopes to boost its existing cooperation with oil giant BP on the energy transition, emissions reduction, and the production of green hydrogen, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/bt8wk2ab\">statement<\/a>. CEO Bernard Looney said BP plans to invest USD 3.5 bn in investments in exploration and development in Egypt in the coming three years, the statement noted.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-03\"><\/a><strong>WATCH THIS SPACE #2- <\/strong><strong>Africa could become the EU\u2019s answer to SAF: <\/strong>The European Union is looking at Africa to support Europe\u2019s clean jet fuel projects under its <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.europa.eu\/strategy-and-policy\/priorities-2019-2024\/stronger-europe-world\/global-gateway_en\">Global Gateway infrastructure fund<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/eu-infrastructure-fund-eyes-african-clean-jet-fuel-projects-2023-08-28\">Reuters<\/a> reports, citing statements by European Commission spokesperson Stefan De Keersmaecker. The EU plans to launch a EUR 4 mn capacity-building project by 31 December to back sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) feasibility studies and certification in 11 African nations and India, he said, with a possible draw up of funds for selected projects under the Global Gateway later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REFRESHER-<\/strong> The EU agreed <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/73bdc340-7f9c-4518-b78d-3f4344260307\">earlier this year<\/a> to set binding targets for European aviation to boost its use of SAF to decarbonize the industry. The proposal aims to increase the use of SAF by ensuring fuel suppliers have 2% of the fuel accessible at EU airports as SAF in 2025, rising to 6% in 2030, 20% in 2035, and 70% in 2050. The EU carbon market is set to provide about EUR 2 bn to help airlines switch to SAF. Some 1.2% of fuels must also be synthetic fuels starting 2030, rising to 35% in 2050. Aviation is a difficult sector to decarbonize and net zero aircrafts are not expected for another 10 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regional SAF production is heating up:<\/strong> The Egyptian Company for Solid Waste Recycling (ECARU), Qalaa Holdings, and France\u2019s Axens signed a cooperation protocol <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/cf2552bd-bcaa-419e-9dfd-cd6df644151e\">last month<\/a> to conduct technical and economic studies for a second-generation biofuel and SAF production project. The US private sector is looking to tap Egypt for SAF production, Regional Minister Counselor for Commercial Affairs Keith Kirkham told Enterprise Climate <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/7e819bfd-fe2e-42ae-8b0a-4d46d730ce67\">back in June<\/a>. US companies are currently exploring cooperation pathways with both the private and public sectors of Egypt to jointly produce SAFs.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>WATCH THIS SPACE #3-<\/strong><strong> Debate still continues over who should pay up for shipping <\/strong><strong>emissions: <\/strong>Shipping companies want to see oil and commodities traders paying up the financial cost incurred if ships are downgraded under a new carbon indicator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imo.org\/en\/MediaCentre\/HotTopics\/Pages\/EEXI-CII-FAQ.aspx\">introduced in January<\/a> by the UN\u2019s International Maritime Organization (IMO), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/9af3609a-e6ac-46b9-b2c4-cc97971a1441\">The Financial Times<\/a> reports. Major commodities groups are holding out against such attempts to force legal obligations on traders for shipping emissions. The shipping industry delivers nearly 90% of all global goods and is almost entirely dependent on fossil fuels, accounting for nearly 3% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oecd.org\/ocean\/topics\/ocean-shipping\/\">OECD<\/a> data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some fear impacts on the market: <\/strong>Shipping groups are concerned of a market impact resulting from the first mandatory ratings of IMO\u2019s Carbon Intensity Indicator \u2014 a rating system that grades individual ships depending on their operational carbon intensity. Industry giants including Amazon, Unilever, and Ikea have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/850eee4b-2c2d-4186-99d7-fdbe8131ddd0\">pledged to use zero-emission ships<\/a> by 2040. The first ratings are set to be recorded next year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REMEMBER- <\/strong>The IMO\u2019s member countries <a href=\"https:\/\/climate.enterprise.press\/issues\/2023\/07\/10\/egypts-cib-will-receive-usd-100-mn-ifc-boost-climate-financing\/#policy\">approved in July<\/a> a revised greenhouse gas strategy that outlines a net zero emissions goal for the shipping industry by mid century. They agreed to reach net zero \u201cby or around, i.e., close to 2050, taking into account different national circumstances.\u201d They also approved \u201cindicative checkpoints\u201d to help lower total annual greenhouse gas emissions from the global shipping industry by at least 20% while aiming for 30% by 2030 compared with 2008 levels. They also seek reducing such emissions by at least 70%, while striving for 80% by 2040.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>WATCH THIS SPACE #4- Kerry wants Big Oil to get serious on climate strategies: <\/strong>US climate envoy John Kerry is on a mission to lobby fossil fuel players to lay out strategies aimed at pushing down carbon emissions, reaching out to KSA Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman and BP CEO Bernard Looney among others, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/42e67fee-5102-46cd-b11a-e343c40862e2\">The Financial Times<\/a> reports. The US climate envoy has reportedly scheduled a meeting with KSA oil conglomerate Aramco in a bid to explore the corporation\u2019s climate mitigation plans and is urging fossil fuel producers to chart out a course to push down greenhouse gas output throughout their supply chains, nudging them to earmark investments for clean energy. As part of his climate mitigation strategy, Kerry has also been bidding big oil firms to expand carbon capture and storage capacity, the news outlet notes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 subscribe-box-panel\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"title\">\n<h4 class=\"fw-lighter mb-10\">\n          Get <b style=\"font-weight: 700\">Enterprise<\/b> daily<br \/>\n        <\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-10\">The roundup of news and trends that move your markets and shape corporate agendas delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p>     <a href=\"climate\/en\/user\/NewsLetters\" type=\"button \" class=\"btn-green px-3 d-flex align-items-center\">Subscribe here<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><p><strong>NON-CLIMATE REGIONAL HEADLINES: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>KSA: <\/strong>PIF-backed ADES Holding has announced a plan to proceed with an initial public offering (IPO) on Tadawul.

Wykes will use 30 second-hand Jaguar I-Pace batteries to build one unit of its storage system with a capacity up to 2.5 MWh. JLR and Wyke\u2019s project is one of the first trials of its kind and the auto company aims to supply enough batteries to store a total of 7.5 MWh of energy \u2014 enough to power 750 homes for a day \u2014 by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The storage systems will support renewables projects:<\/strong> Each of JLR\u2019s battery systems will be able to supply, store, and draw power directly from the national grid, making it a crucial component in stabilizing fluctuations in the grid, especially with regards to renewables generation where weather conditions cause production to fluctuate significantly, the statement explains. \u201cThe containers are connected to the grid in such a way that they can absorb solar energy that could otherwise be lost when the grid reaches capacity,\u201d Wykes\u2019 managing director said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The equipment\u2019s design makes repurposing easy: <\/strong>The system is designed in a way that eliminates the need for additional manufacturing steps or the removal of battery modules when developing the storage system from the used batteries. The batteries are simply removed from the Jaguar I-PACE and slotted into racks in the containers on-site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recycling EV batteries has huge potential: <\/strong>Second-life battery supply for stationary applications, like renewable energy storage, could exceed 200 GWh per year by 2030, creating a sector with a value of over USD 30 bn, the statement said, citing a report by McKinsey. Batteries that no longer meet the standard for usage in EVs still maintain up to 80% of their usable capacity, equivalent to TWs of unused energy storage space, creating huge potential for recycling, the agency added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Investments in grid-scale storage needed to unlock renewables potential:<\/strong> In the net zero scenario, installed grid-scale battery storage capacity would need to expand 35-fold between 2022 and 2030 to nearly 970 GW, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/energy-system\/electricity\/grid-scale-storage\">International Energy Agency<\/a> (IEA). Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, and most Gulf states are motivated to increase storage deployment due to their ambitious renewable energy targets, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mei.edu\/publications\/pairing-renewables-energy-storage-could-help-mena-states-realize-their-green-goals\">Middle East Institute<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Storage expansion is one of the barriers to low-carbon hydrogen scale up: <\/strong>Meeting the national goals for green hydrogen production would require several times the total output from all renewable energy generated today. This will add further pressures on the grid and increase the need for sufficient grid storage systems, especially if the renewables plants are far from the hydrogen production facility. 11% of participants in a <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2023\/5\/1949.pdf\">DNV survey (pdf)<\/a> said that advances in battery technologies pose a risk to progressing the hydrogen economy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Storage projects are starting to take off in our region: <\/strong>The <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/7d462a74-63c0-4931-9289-3c96d75826c6\">UAE and Turkey<\/a> announced in July intentions to partner up in battery storage projects. Masdar plans to deploy up to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/b42005b9-7043-45ef-9437-516649d80aa4\">3-5 GW in battery storage capacity<\/a> over the next five to seven years through its newly acquired renewables and BESS arm Masdar Arlington. Acwa Power inked an agreement with China\u2019s Sungrow to build a <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/863f6865-8b4b-4c73-98ac-56c29ff26a80\">536 MW battery storage system in Neom<\/a>. Egypt is <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/66f6cfb6-b481-4fc9-af56-ea28883c2f01\">considering utility-scale batteries<\/a> as a potential solution for smoothing the integration of wind and solar-generated electricity into the national grid. Regional energy storage projects that use batteries are expected to jump from the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mei.edu\/publications\/pairing-renewables-energy-storage-could-help-mena-states-realize-their-green-goals\">7% to 45% by 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But we have yet to set goals and policies to expand grid storage: <\/strong>While a number of projects show a growth in storage, the MENA region falls behind others in incentivising grid-storage expansion.

A worsening shortage is already causing the prices of goods like cocoa, olive oil, and orange juice to skyrocket. Plant diseases cost the global economy over USD 220 bn annually and invasive pests cause at least USD 70 bn in losses, according to the UN\u2019s Food and Agriculture Organization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why pests spell trouble: <\/strong>Pests can adapt easily to higher temperatures, which allow them to generate at a quicker rate and migrate faster, according to Georgetown University entomologist Leah Buchman. As the world gets warmer, certain insect species are starting to expand beyond their native habitats. Moths native to the Americas are eating up corn and other grains in Africa and Asia, and a tropical whitefly has been causing damage to tomato plantations in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The crops are taking a hit:<\/strong> The fall armyworm \u2014 native to the Americas \u2014 is destroying China\u2019s corn crops earlier than usual, Bloomberg reports. India\u2019s output of tomatoes, cassavas, beans, and sweet potatoes took a hit due to the silverleaf whitefly transmitting plant viruses to crops. The black pod disease and the swollen shoot virus are destroying cocoa crops in West Africa \u2014 home to two-thirds of the global cocoa supply \u2014 causing wholesale prices to rise to record highs this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OTHER STORIES WORTH KNOWING ABOUT THIS MORNING-<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dubai beaches attract night swimmers:<\/strong> A large number of Dubai residents are heading to beaches at night to avoid the daytime heat.

While there are many types of bacteria that can naturally convert methane to CO2 and biomass, the newly discovered strain is the first to do so with lower concentrations of methane, the news outlet explains. The researchers also found that the strain can <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2023-08-bacteria-volumes-methane.html\">increase its own numbers<\/a> and consume methane at faster rates than other bacteria.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is this important?<\/strong> Methane has over 85 times the warming power of carbon dioxide in the first 20 years after it is released in the atmosphere, and currently accounts for at least 30% of total global heating. Now that a strain has been identified that can convert methane to CO2 at low concentrations, this can be a viable solution for removing methane from landfills, rice fields, oil wells, and other areas with higher methane concentrations compared to the atmosphere. The exhaust from the process can also be pumped into greenhouses to grow produce, earth sciences professor Euan Nisbet told The Guardian. Global heating can be reduced 0.21 C to 0.22 C by removing 0.3 to 1 petagram \u2014 or 1 gigaton \u2014 of methane by 2050.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Investments in technology and achieving commercialization: <\/strong>\u201cThe biggest barrier to implementation is finding ways to increase the methane treatment unit 20-fold,\u201d lead researcher Mary Lidstrom said, adding that thousands of high-functioning reactors would be needed to implement methane-eating bacteria on a mass scale. Running field tests could be within reach within three to four years, according to Lidstrom.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div
