US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions climbed by 1.3pc in 2022 as the economy continued its rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic. Net emissions — which include the GHGs captured by carbon sinks — rose in 2022 to nearly 5.5bn metric tonnes, reflecting an uptick in CO2 emissions from fossil fuel...
In late 2022, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Councilproposed a new amendmentto the FAR that would create new and detailed emissions disclosure requirements for all prospective contractors that earned at least $7.5 million in federal contract funds during th...
US Foods, a leading foodservice distributor in the United States, is committed to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The company aims to achieve a 32.5% reduction in absolute scopes 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2032, based on a 2019 baseline. This commitment has been approved by the ...
The GHG Protocol is a global, standardized framework for measuring and managing GHG emissions across all sectors and supply chains. Companies in search of independent ratings or assessments should look for approaches that incorporate the GHG Protocol or TCFD, if not both, since voluntary climate ...
Every year, Rhodium Group provides an independent projection of future US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under current policy and expectations for economic growth, future fossil fuel prices, and clean…
