href=\"https:\/\/totalenergies.com\/media\/news\/press-releases\/airbus-and-totalenergies-sign-strategic-partnership-sustainable-aviation\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>. TotalEnergies aims to produce some 1.5 mn tons of SAF per year by 2030, the release states.

The decision comes as part of a revision to a 2022 document outlining sustainable investments. It categorizes investment in three ways: green aligns with climate goals, amber supports the transition to a low-carbon economy, and red is harmful to the environment. Captive coal power plants are classified as amber. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;font-family:\" arial\";line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"=\"\"><strong>The plants must meet certain criteria:<\/strong> Each plant must be built by 2031 and cease operations by 2050, the newswire writes. They must also reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 35% compared to 2021 levels within 10 years of operation. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;font-family:\" arial\";line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"=\"\"><strong>Climate activists are not happy: <\/strong>The decision from Indonesia's Financial Services Authority has faced criticism from green groups since it was first suggested last year. The growth of nickel processing facilities has spurred increased investment in remote captive power stations in the country.
