Heart of England Forest Expands from 3,650ha to 12,140ha through Farmland Acquisition

Guyana Sells Forest-Based Carbon Credits Amid Emission Discrepancies

Guyana has sold jurisdictional forest-based carbon credits, with no reported pricing or transactional costs. The government claims the country acts as a net carbon sink, despite a report indicating it has been a net emitter since 1990. The Minister for Natural Resources is requested to clarify the basis of this claim and the steps taken to verify carbon credit marketing. Additionally, concerns are raised about deforestation primarily due to gold mining, which undermines carbon credits' legitimacy.

Heart of England Forest Acquires Farmland to Expand Woodland from 3,650ha to 12,140ha

Carbon Capture

The Heart of England Forest, spanning 3,650ha, aims to expand to 12,140ha by directly purchasing land. Since 2019, it has acquired over 426ha, focusing on a mix of habitats and maintaining agricultural activities. The charity emphasizes long-term control over woodland management, in contrast to government-backed initiatives. It aims to plant 12 million trees while integrating farming practices within its estate, which includes renting grazing land to local farmers. The initiative is supported by grants and seeks to generate carbon credits and biodiversity opportunities.

Aker BP Trials Distributed Acoustic Sensing Technology Offshore Norway

Carbon Capture

Aker BP is testing Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology as a cost-effective alternative to ocean bottom seismic monitoring offshore Norway. DAS utilizes existing fiber optic cables on the seafloor to create a dense network of seismic sensors, enabling continuous seismic data collection without the need for extensive sensor installation. The company began R&D trials in 2022 at the Ula field, comparing DAS data with conventional seismic methods, and continued testing in 2023 with the Poseidon experiment to assess imaging capabilities.

Texas Railroad Commission Granted Authority for Carbon Storage Permits Following EPA Approval

Carbon Capture

The Texas Railroad Commission has received authority to issue Class VI permits for carbon dioxide injection and storage underground, a role previously held by the EPA. This approval, granted in October 2023, is expected to streamline the application process for energy companies. Despite bipartisan support for carbon capture initiatives, experts indicate that the transfer of permitting authority may not lead to a surge in new projects due to a lack of substantial recent government incentives for direct air capture technology.
