While specifying \u201cunabated\u201d leaves room for the continued production of fossil fuel if carbon capture technologies are used, the agreement did note that emissions capturing technologies \u201cexist at limited scale and are to be used to reduce emissions mainly from hard to abate sectors,\u201d and are \u201cnot be used to delay climate action,\u201d the newswire writes. Bulgaria's Environment Minister Julian Popov told Reuters the aim was to keep carbon capture open as an option for polluting sectors with limited technologies to cut emissions \u2014 such as chemicals and cement manufacturing \u2014 but not for the energy sector where the shift to renewables is already underway. Some diplomats <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/b9933f84-4111-4baa-8666-44576b3fc255\">told the newswire<\/a> earlier this month that a weakened stance from the EU could kill off hopes of an ambitious COP28 outcome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s still a big step forward:<\/strong> If the EU\u2019s stance is adopted during COP, it will mark the first time countries agree on a global phase-out target. \u201cWe will be at the forefront of the negotiations to show the EU's strongest commitment to the green transition and encourage our partners to follow our lead,\u201d Spain's Climate Minister Teresa Ribera said after the bloc\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALSO- The UAE and Brazil will partner to establish the first <\/strong><strong>Ministerial Dialogue on Building Water-Resilient Food Systems<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/wam.ae\/en\/details\/1395303210259\">Wam<\/a>reported earlier this week.

The sticking point is Germany\u2019s belief that France will use its advantageous nuclear power capacity to undercut electricity prices across the EU. France \u2014 which has an aging nuclear fleet \u2014 is reportedly looking to increase the bloc's nuclear energy generation capacity <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/08ac669b-a6b8-4808-8120-c184c3e0525c\">from 100 GW to 150 GW<\/a> by 2050 via the installation of 30-45 micro and large nuclear reactors, and debate between Europe\u2019s two largest economies is on the extent of bloc funding should be earmarked toward extending the life cycle of atomic plants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Continued spats: <\/strong>France and Germany have been locking horns on the matter since February, effectively <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/d0225f94-a58c-498e-aa9d-0d8cf242502e\">postponing finalization<\/a> of a text outlining the EU\u2019s diplomatic priorities ahead of COP28.

Spain is reportedly spearheading mediation efforts, and was set to propose a compromise between the EU\u2019s 27 members yesterday aimed at safeguarding France\u2019s already operational plants, while \u201ceasing fears that it could undercut power prices in the rest of Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>IN OTHER EU NEWS- The bloc is set to discuss regulations to reduce plastic pellet pollution: <\/strong>The European Commission proposed measures earlier this week to prevent pollution caused by the spillage of plastic pellets \u2014 small granules used to manufacture plastic products \u2014 into the environment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/eu-commission-proposes-measures-curb-microplastic-pollution-pellets-2023-10-16\/\">Reuters<\/a> reports. Around 176k metric tons of microplastics are unintentionally released into the environment each year, according to the European Chemicals Agency. Proposed measures include prevention initiatives to avoid any spills of plastic pellets, containment of spilled pellets, and cleaning campaigns if spills occur. The commission decided to focus on pellets \u2014 the third largest source of microplastics after tires and paint \u2014 given the better availability of data on pellet pollution. The EU's 27 member states and the European Parliament will negotiate the draft measures before they are approved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The goal:<\/strong> The EU aims to reduce pellets released in the environment every year by 74%, EU environment commissioner Virginijus Sinkevicius told Reuters. The high amount of discarded pellets is the result of mishandling throughout the entire supply chain. Pellet waste management is part of a bigger plan to decrease microplastic pollution by 30% by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>WATCH THIS SPACE #2- Global grid <\/strong><strong>infrastructure<\/strong><strong> upscaling is needed, says IEA: <\/strong>Countries need to commit USD 600 bn in annual investments by 2030 toward doubling or upscaling the world\u2019s current electricity grid capacity to pave the road to net zero, International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Fatih Fatih Birol told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2023\/oct\/17\/global-electricity-grid-climate-iea\">The Guardian<\/a>. To accommodate the influx of clean energy from planned global projects, the world needs to establish or refurbish a total of 80 mn km of electricity grids, Birol said. Renewables projects expected to yield 3 TW are currently on hold due to insufficient transmission and storage grid infrastructure \u2014 5x the amount of solar and wind power added globally last year, the news outlet writes. Inadequate government incentives geared toward improving electricity grids would cause a hike in gas reliance, threatening to push the Paris-agreed 1.5 C warming threshold \u201cout of reach,\u201d Birol warned, adding that emerging markets \u2014 aside from China \u2014 are particularly seeing a decline in grid investment.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-04\"><\/a><\/strong><strong>THE DANGER ZONE- Climate tech funding experiences a slump: <\/strong>Climate tech funding dropped 40% y-o-y in 3Q 2023 due to a global investment downturn, but the sector still remains attractive on the whole, according to a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/gx\/en\/news-room\/press-releases\/2023\/pwc-2023-state-of-climate-tech.html\">report<\/a> by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

China Energy signed a framework agreement for a planned green hydrogen plant in the SCZone and United Energy is planning a renewables-powered potassium chloride production facility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>United Energy\u2019s facility: <\/strong>Hong Kong-headquartered power company United Energy will establish a potassium chloride production facility \u2014 at an estimated USD 8 bn price tag \u2014 set to be powered by 6.1 GW of renewable energy, the statement notes. The project would be developed over three phases, with the initial phase setting up a solar plant to generate 150 MW of clean energy to produce 100k tons of chloride potassium. The project will eventually have a production capacity of 4.1 mn tons when fully operational, the statement adds, with 20% of the production earmarked for domestic demand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>China Energy\u2019s green hydrogen plant:<\/strong> Chinese state-owned power firm China Energy Engineering Corporation signed a framework agreement for its USD 6.75 bn green hydrogen plant which will span 500k square meters and generate 210k ton of green hydrogen annually. The green hydrogen will serve as feedstock to generate 1.2 mn tons of green ammonia per annum, the statement notes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We knew this was coming: <\/strong>China Energy said it intended to sign the framework agreement within two months <a href=\"http:\/\/climate.enterprise.press\/stories\/2023\/05\/23\/egypt-and-energy-china-plan-to-sign-framework-agreement-for-usd-7-bn-green-hydrogen-plant-101365\/\">back in May<\/a> to develop the green hydrogen plant.

The country aims to raise production to 5.8 mn tons by 2040 from 72 GW of renewable energy.

But what is now a polluting force making our climate change fight harder can be flipped to work in our favor. \u201cCollecting food waste from landfills and turning it into renewable natural gas using anaerobic digestion could be a win-win option for both food waste disposal and renewable energy production,\u201d a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S095965262205315X\">study<\/a> published in Journal of Cleaner Production this year concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where are we now: <\/strong>Some 1.3 bn tons of food waste is thrown into landfills around the world, aggravating the global climate change crisis, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fao.org\/newsroom\/detail\/FAO-UNEP-agriculture-environment-food-loss-waste-day-2022\/en\">data by FAO<\/a> showed. The waste is estimated to release a carbon footprint of 3.3 bn tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually, the data shows.

The South Korean model \u2014 which sees the majority of its food waste turning into animal feed, fertilizers and fuel for homes \u2014 is currently being considered by governments globally. New York City \u2014 which produces 8 mn pounds of daily residential food waste \u2014 has been examining Seoul\u2019s system with a plan underway to have all residents separate their food waste from other trash by next fall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WTE is picking momentum in MENA:<\/strong> The adoption of waste to energy facilities is picking up pace in the region, with several countries opting for the energy recovery solution under its sustainability efforts.
