• Pegasus Capital Advisors and Partanna Collaborate to Scale Carbon-Negative Cement for Coastal Resilience

  Pegasus Capital Advisors plans to invest up to $20 million in Partanna, a company behind carbon-negative cement that strengthens in seawater and helps restore marine ecosystems. The funding supports coastal infrastructure and coral reef protection through Partanna Ocean, using materials that capture and store CO₂. The collaboration aims to scale nature-positive construction and unlock climate-aligned capital in emerging markets.

• Scaling Carbon Sequestration with Precision: How Charm Industrial Uses Manufacturo to Turn Biomass into Measurable Carbon Removal

  Charm Industrial turns biomass waste into bio-oil and biochar for long-term carbon removal. The bio-oil is injected underground, while the biochar improves soil health and stores carbon in the ground. Using Manufacturo, Charm tracks every step with precision, making carbon removal measurable, verifiable, and scalable.

• Talen Energy Expands Nuclear Energy Relationship with Amazon

  Talen Energy and Amazon signed a long-term power purchase agreement for 1,920 MW of carbon-free nuclear energy to support Amazon's data centers. They will also explore building Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and expanding nuclear output in Pennsylvania. This deal boosts clean energy use while supporting local jobs and grid modernization.

• Alfa Laval Secures Order for World’s First Marine Boiler System for Ammonia Waste Incineration

  Alfa Laval will deliver the world’s first marine boiler system designed to safely incinerate ammonia waste on multi-gas carriers for Trafigura. The system enables safer, more efficient use of ammonia as a marine fuel by handling emissions and reducing equipment needs onboard. This marks a key step toward decarbonizing shipping using alternative fuels.

• Low-carbon Jet Fuel Company Foresees Huge Investment in Western North Dakota

  Gevo plans to invest $500 million to build a sustainable aviation fuel plant at its ethanol facility in Richardton, North Dakota. The site already uses carbon sequestration to lower emissions, making it ideal for low-carbon fuel production. This shift supports the growing demand for jet fuel while moving away from gasoline.

• FGV Energia and Petrobras Establish Partnership to Generate Energy From Fishing Waste in the Amazon

  FGV Energia and Petrobras launched a project to convert fishing waste in the Amazon into biogas, biomethane, and biodiesel. The initiative aims to create clean energy, reduce waste, and support local communities through job creation and circular economy practices. A pilot plant and biogas atlas are part of the plan to scale this model nationally.

• Carbon Clean and MODEC Collaborate to Accelerate the Scale-up of CycloneCC for Offshore Carbon Capture

  Carbon Clean and MODEC signed an agreement to scale CycloneCC carbon capture tech for use on offshore FPSO vessels. The project aims to capture up to 300,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, with a pilot starting in 2026 and full deployment planned later. This marks a major step toward offshore decarbonization using compact, motion-resistant systems.

• UAE's $440 Billion Bet: What XRG's U.S. Expansion Means for the Future of LNG and Low-Carbon Energy

  Abu Dhabi’s ADNOC, through its arm XRG, plans a $440 billion investment push into North American LNG, blue hydrogen, and carbon capture. The strategy connects gas infrastructure with AI energy demand, digital growth, and low-carbon tech like CCS and clean hydrogen. This move positions XRG as a major player in reshaping global energy around carbon-conscious solutions.

• Whiplash Warning: What Trump’s Tax Bill Means for Hydrogen and Carbon Capture in America

  Trump’s proposed tax bill could gut key hydrogen and carbon capture incentives, forcing projects to start within 60 days and operate by 2028 to qualify. This threatens major CCS, DAC, and hydrogen hubs already in development, especially those relying on complex engineering and imported components. The policy shift risks derailing U.S. climate tech momentum and redirecting global investment elsewhere.
