Group\u2019s exit from the Net Zero Ins. Alliance got coverage from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/sustainable-business\/zurich-becomes-second-major-insurer-quit-climate-alliance-2023-04-05\/\">Reuters<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-04-05\/zurich-exits-insurance-climate-coalition-days-after-munich-re\">Bloomberg<\/a>. Zurich\u2019s departure marks the second withdrawal from the subunit of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero after German insurer Munich RE announced it would quit the group over the weekend. The exits are drawing skepticism among industry leaders on the utility and efficiency of voluntary industry associations aiming to push down carbon output, the business news service notes.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>WATCH THIS SPACE #1- Industry giants issue their own corporate carbon credit<\/strong><strong>s: <\/strong>A host of industry leaders \u2014 including British pharma giant GSK and energy titan Shell, Danish renewables developer Orsted, France\u2019s TotalEnergies, and German automaker Volkswagen \u2014 are bankrolling nature-based carbon sinks to offset the emissions generated from their operations, issue carbon removal credits, and meet mid and long-term climate action targets, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-04-05\/amid-backlash-volkswagen-gsk-total-develop-own-carbon-offsets?srnd=premium-middle-east\">Bloomberg<\/a> writes. TotalEnergies is earmarking some USD 100 mn annually for carbon mitigation projects in a bid to up its carbon offsetting capacity to 5 mn tons of CO2 equivalent per annum by 2030. Shell and Orsted are both funding nature-based carbon mitigation projects in various parts of the world, and VW plans to issue some 40 mn carbon credits by the end of the decade to help it reach its 2050 net-zero target.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH THIS SPACE #2-<\/strong> <strong>This could be a gamechanger: <\/strong>New silicon-based electrodes could help usher in a fresh line-up of longer driving and faster charging EV batteries by mid-decade, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/autos-transportation\/new-silicon-anodes-could-help-ev-batteries-go-farther-charge-faster-2023-04-04\/\">Reuters<\/a> reports. The new silicon electrodes, which are considered an ideal substitute or supplement for graphite in battery anodes, are being developed by startups Group 14 Technologies and Sila Nanotechnologies. They both have plants opening up next year, and their automotive customers include Porsche and Mercedes-Benz. But even with the plants coming online in 2024, demand is set to exceed capacity, Group14\u2019s CEO and co-founder Rick Luebbe said. The shift to silicon-rich anodes would still take time, with Sila Nano CEO and co-founder Gene Berdichevsky saying it would take more than 10 years for silicon to replace graphite in battery anodes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH THIS SPACE #3- ExxonMobil is quite optimistic about its energy transition <\/strong><strong>plans:<\/strong> ExxonMobil\u2019s low-carbon business could eventually outperform the leading US oil producer\u2019s traditional fossil fuel production, CEO Darren Woods told investors, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/8cb77179-cad4-437c-a20f-c8d273131284\">Financial Times<\/a>. The decarbonization business could be worth \u201chundreds of bns of USD\u201d and emerge to be \u201clarger than ExxonMobil\u2019s base business is today as the world approaches net zero,\u201d Woods said. Achieving this target depends on finding ways to reduce the costs of hydrogen fuel and carbon capture and on government incentives, he said. Woods\u2019 statements come months after Exxon said it plans to pour some USD 17 bn in lower-emission initiatives by the end of 2027, which is equivalent to 10% of investments allocated for its fossil fuel projects over the same period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH THIS SPACE #4-<\/strong> <strong>Japan is spearheading calls to accelerate <\/strong><strong>decarbonization ahead of the upcoming G7 meeting<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/japan-wants-g7-agreement-accelerate-decarbonisation-efforts-2023-04-05\/\">Reuters<\/a> reports. The two-day meeting will kick off on 15 April in Japan and will focus on climate, energy, and environment. The topic of energy security will be high on the meeting\u2019s agenda, and a discussion on how to phase out natural gas within 10 to 15 years will be brought forward, as the country seeks to reduce its dependence on Russian gas imports, Japanese minister of economy, trade, and industry Yasutoshi Nishimura told Reuters. Nishimura visited Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman last year as part of a regional tour aimed at finding ways to diversify the country\u2019s energy sources. The G7 group comprises Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US.<\/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>***<br \/>\n <strong>YOU\u2019RE READING ENTERPRISE CLIMATE, the essential regional publication for senior execs who care about the world\u2019s most important industry. <\/strong>Enterprise Climate covers everything from finance and tech to regulation, products and policy across the Middle East and North Africa.
