The German cabinet has approved reforms that will restrict oil companies from carrying excess emissions reduction credits forward, a move that will boost the country’s biofuel industry which has been impacted by a rapid drop in carbon prices in recent years.
In recent years, oil companies operating in Germany have met emissions goals by selling extra biodiesel; with sales clocking in at 3.4 million metric tons in 2022, 34% above their target. However, the reforms mean that oil companies will no longer be able to use past greenhouse gas reduction quotas to meet targets in the coming two years, with this option only reopening again in 2027.
Back in September, Germany's Environment Agency rejected carbon credits for 215,000 tons of CO2 emissions from oil companies due to suspected fraud involving climate projects in China.
Companies usually meet these targets by using plant-based biofuels or through "upstream emission reduction" (UER) projects. However, concerns arose over a year ago when doubts arose about whether some of these projects met the required standards or even existed.

What was indisputable was how badly Democrats did. They lost the White House, surrendered control of the Senate and appeared headed to defeat in the House. They performed worse than four years ago in cities and suburbs, rural towns and college towns. An early New York Times analysis of the results found the vast majority of the nation’s more than 3,100 counties swinging rightward since President Biden won in 2020.
The results showed that the Harris campaign, and Democrats more broadly, had failed to find an effective message against Mr. Trump and his down-ballot allies or to address voters’ unhappiness about the direction of the nation under Mr. Biden. The issues the party chose to emphasize — abortion rights and the protection of democracy — did not resonate as much as the economy and immigration, which Americans often highlighted as among their most pressing concerns.
Maybe more later.
It's interesting the NY Times failed to mentioned the #1 issue across all demographics that concerned voters this year. But behind closed they talk about it unless they are in deep denial.
But the number one reason she lost: she was / is a lousy campaigner. Folks like the writers of this article never mention in the lead paragraphs that in an open primary -- back in 2019 -- she was the first politician to drop out having received not one vote.

RBN Energy: Coterra Energy continues shift to oil with new Permian deals.
Just over three years ago, Cabot Oil & Gas — Coterra Energy’s corporate predecessor — was focused exclusively on producing natural gas in the Marcellus Shale. But unlike other gas-centric E&Ps like EQT Corp., Chesapeake Energy and Antero Resources, Cabot decided it was time to diversify. In October 2021, it merged with Cimarex Energy, an oil-and-gas producer in the Permian and the Anadarko, to form Coterra. Now, Coterra has doubled down on diversification with a plan to acquire oil-weighted Permian assets from privately held Franklin Mountain Energy and Avant Natural Resources for a total of $3.95 billion in cash and stock. In today’s RBN blog, we discuss the deals and why Cabot/Coterra decided to “go its own way.”
