On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed H.R. 5376, a budget reconciliation measure commonly referred to as the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022” (IRA). Among other provisions, IRA includes a charge on methane emissions from specific types of facilities that are required to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Program (GHGRP).
The Climate & Clean Air Coalition helps partners and stakeholders create policies and practices that will deliver substantial reductions in short-lived climate pollutant emissions, starting now.
The International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) catalyses the collection, reconciliation and integration of empirically based, near real time methane emissions data, to provide unprecedented climate transparency and the information required for reducing this powerful greenhouse gas.

The World Bank Carbon Pricing Dashboard is an interactive online platform that provides up-to-date information on existing and emerging carbon pricing initiatives around the world. Carbon pricing is an instrument that captures the external costs of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and ties them to their sources through a price, usually in the form of a price on the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted.
The European Union’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) has experienced significant fluctuations in the carbon prices over the years. As of February 2023, the price of carbon in the EU ETS has exceeded 100 euros per metric ton of CO2. That’s a significant increase from just a few years ago when the price was around only 10 euros per ton.
Graphene is the thinnest material known to man at one atom thick, and also incredibly strong – about 200 times stronger than steel. On top of that, graphene is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity and has interesting light absorption abilities. It is truly a material that could change the world, with unlimited potential for integration in almost any industry.
Ford Motor Company has found a new use for graphene – a relatively new nanomaterial that’s 200 times stronger than steel – under the hoods of passenger vehicles like the Ford F-150 pickup and Ford Mustang pony car. Working together with Eagle Industries and XG Sciences, has come up with a method for deploying the stuff in more than ten underhood components, including fuel rail covers, pump covers, and front engine covers.
