South Korea should act on this now. 한국 정부 화석연료 금융 지원 중단하라. OECD 화석연료 규제 협약 동의하라. @President_KR @mofa_kr

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

A historic deal to shift $41 billion per year out of fossil fuels to clean energy could be agreed tomorrow IF Korea stops blocking. @President_KR, @mofa_kr, Korea must join with other countries and agree on an OECD deal to #StopFundingFossils: https://t.co/Dd6vj167xX

OPINION: POSCO Holdings, South Korea's leading steelmaker, will need double its efforts to go green to keep up with global trends, such as planned EU tariffs on high-emission steel imports, writes Seungwan Kim.

@ActSpeaksLouder said MHI’s target of reaching net zero emissions by 2040 was “relatively ambitious”, but the company was relying on “unproven technologies” like hydrogen, #CCS, ammonia co-firing plants

[Jieon Lee @jieonlee]

Tokyo’s climate plan, known as GX, has been criticised by officials and environmental groups because of its bet on ammonia as a low-carbon energy source alongside gas or coal to reduce emissions from existing power plants https://t.co/zCX7v2H2BF

[Jieon Lee @jieonlee]

@MHI_Group reported in December that its “Scope 3” emissions — which come from a company’s suppliers and customers — stood at 1.6bn tonnes of CO₂. The figure is 37 per cent higher than Japan’s national emissions and just shy of that of Saudi Aramco.

[Jieon Lee @jieonlee]

@TransitionZero co-firing a power plant with 20 per cent ammonia and 80 per cent coal will fail to cut emissions enough to reach the net zero targets. “emissions from a 50 per cent ammonia, 50 per cent coal co-firing rate is similar to emissions from gas in all four countries”

[Nikkei Asia @NikkeiAsia]

OPINION: Steel represents a great opportunity for Kishida. Through domestic action and global dialogue, Japanese steelmakers can be at the leading edge of innovation and at the center of the transition toward green steel, writes Kenta Kubokawa.

Global Energy Monitor is a fantastic data source for everyone working on steel decarbonisation! 👇

Most high-profile announcement to go green by @LibertySteelGrp so far. EAF and "hydrogen-ready" DRI for their Whyalla mill in 🇦🇺. Let's see if they actually do anything, their track record on climate so far is all talk, no action

Gender equality is the key to climate action ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾

This #InternationalWomensDay, we're thinking of all the women and girls across the world, but especially in the Global South, who feel the strongest effects of climate change.
