Tree-planting punks: First carbon-negative beer business

Tree-planting punks: First carbon-negative beer business

With the help of a new 2,000-acre forest and a £30M investment plan, plus an army of Equity Punks fuelled on Elvis Juice, one Scottish craft brewer is set to become the world’s first carbon-negative international beer business. Better known perhaps for shaking trees than planting them, BrewDog will actually remove twice as much carbon from the air as it emits every single year. As the company commits to fight climate change and have a positive, restorative impact on the planet, carbon neutral is simply no longer enough.

The brewer’s long-term plans will see the business offset its carbon through owned assets and, as part of these efforts, it has purchased 2,050 acres of Scottish Highlands just north of Loch Lomond, to create the BrewDog Forest. Here, it plans to plant one million trees over the next few years in 400 hectares of land, alongside restoration of 650 acres of peatland — with both investments recognised as effective vehicles for carbon offset.

Further to this, BrewDog has been working with Mike Berners-Lee, carbon offset expert and author of There’s no planet  B and How bad are bananas? to guide the initial £30M investment into green infrastructure and initiatives, designed to take its breweries to carbon neutrality within 24 months.

BrewDog has already made inroads into cutting its carbon footprint: The brewery and its UK bars are wind-powered; and the company currently turns its spent grain into green gas which powers the brewery itself.

Looking ahead, BrewDog is building an onsite anaerobic digester to convert its wastewater into clean water and produce food-grade C02 to carbonate the company’s beers. It is also investing in the electrification of its vehicle fleet, with a strategy of establishing local brewing sites across the UK, EU, USA and Australia helping cut carbon even further by significantly reducing the miles the beer has to travel to reach the consumer.

The forest investment plan, though, is something of a gamechanger, says David Robertson, Director, Scottish Woodlands:

“Woodland creation of this scale is at the forefront of the fight to sequester atmospheric carbon in the UK and the BrewDog Forest will be one of the largest native woodlands created in the UK for many years.”

In total, BrewDog will create 1,400 acres of broadleaf native woodlands, and 650 acres of peatland restoration. in accordance with the UK Woodland Carbon Code and the Peatland Code, respectively. As well as carbon sequestration, woodland creation also promotes biodiversity, natural flood attenuation and drives rural economic development.

Work is expected to start on the BrewDog Forest early next year.

The brewer also plans to create a sustainable campsite on the land, which will host sustainability retreats and workshops for the general public, in addition to inviting its 130,000 Equity Punks investors to help with tree planting, starting 2021.

Over the past few months, BrewDog has been working closely with lead scientific advisor Professor Mike Berners-Lee and his team at Small World Consulting. One of the world’s leading experts in the field, Berners-Lee has overseen the process of calculating BrewDog’s carbon footprint and been pivotal in the design of its carbon removal plan.

In order to double remove all of its carbon, until it is able to begin planting the BrewDog Forest, the brewer will be working with offset partners on a series of projects. Each organisation has the highest standard of accreditation and been vetted by Berners-Lee and his team, with each project deemed beneficial to biodiversity and local communities.

Applauding both the company’s strong carbon cutting and their straight talking, Mike Berners Lee, Founder of Small World Consulting, sees BrewDog raising the bar in the business world:

“After decades of inaction we have a full-on climate crisis on our hands. The scale and speed of the change we now need is enormous, and cuts right across politics, business and every corner of society.

“The good news is that if we are smart about our transition, we can make our lives better at the same time as making them more sustainable. BrewDog beer can represent another small nudge for a better world.”

It is time for business to stand up and not just be counted, but footprinted, concludes James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog:

“Our Carbon. Our Problem. So, we are going to fix it ourselves. Huge change is needed right now, and we want to be a catalyst for that change in our industry and beyond. We fully acknowledge that we are a long way from perfect. However, we are determined to rapidly and fundamentally change everything as we work hard to ensure we have a positive impact on the planet.

“The scientific consensus is clear: We are sleepwalking off the edge of a cliff. There has been too much bulls**t for too long. Governments have proved completely inept in the face of this crisis. The change our world and society needs, has to come from progressive business and we want to play our role and nail our colours to the mast.”

Virus-idled Indian workers dig into a new job: Boosting water security

Virus-idled Indian workers dig into a new job: Boosting water security

Basant Ahirwar worked as an expert mason in India’s northern Uttar Pradesh state before the country’s coronavirus lockdown shut down business and forced him to return, jobless and largely on foot, to his home in central India’s Madhya Pradesh state.

Now, however, he has found new work: Digging water capture pits into the hillsides of his drought-hit home district, a project aimed at restoring depleting aquifers and providing an income to thousands of unemployed workers.

About 7,000 returning migrant workers and other unemployed people have been hired to do the work, with 50,000 pits dug since April on more than 40 hills around Sagar district, authorities said.

“This work has become a means of sustenance for us,” said Ahirwar, who said he was being paid about 190 rupees ($2.50) a day for the work – a third of what he used to get as a mason but welcome in a time when few other jobs are available.

He said rainwater was already collecting in the trenches and “the hills, which were earlier barren, have now become lush and green”, raising the prospect that farming in the district, slammed by drought, could become more successful again.

The work, which had been carried out earlier on a smaller scale, is being done under the Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Act, which aims to offer at least 100 days of paid employment a year per family in need of work.

Ichchhit Garhpale, the head of Sagar district’s panchayat, or local council, said the effort aims to improve groundwater levels in the district.

As rainwater flows down the hills, it is trapped in the trenches, he said, and percolates slowly into the soil, rather than rushing away and causing erosion.

He said the pit system could help capture as much as 60 million litres of additional water in the course of a year.

Similar pits are planned on 20 to 25 more hills owned by the state government in the district, he said, as the project pushes ahead.

The work has come as a relief to thousands of migrant workers who rushed home in March after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared a nationwide lockdown as cases of the coronavirus began rising.

The shutdown left millions without prospects for work – but efforts like that in Sagar have helped shore up families and raised the prospect that some may remain in their home districts.

 

‘Nothing better’

Rohit Vishwakarma, who used to work in Nagpur, almost 400 kilometres (250 miles) from Sagar, said he saw the project providing better long-term prospects at home.

“The area faces acute drinking water shortages. One has to cover long distances to fetch water during the summer season. The wells and hand-pumps run dry due to the fast-depleting groundwater,” he said.

“If we are able to solve the water problem, there is nothing better than that,” he said. And “if we continue to get this kind of work, we will not have to return to big cities to work.”

Sagar district sits in India’s Bundelkhand region, which is famous for its problems with drought. Erratic rain often leads to crop losses and joblessness, and the region struggles with other problems, from widespread illiteracy to inadequate healthcare.

Over the last decade, even normally erratic rains have been in decline, with the region seeing just half what is considered “normal” rainfall for the last six years, according to data from the India Meteorological Department.

But local officials said the trench digging – with trees in some cases planted on the soil removed, and grass beginning to sprout as well – may help turn around a bad situation.

“Grass and plants grow on it naturally, and thus food becomes available for villagers’ cattle and grazing animals,” said Garhpale, head of the local council.

He said that water levels in wells in the area also had shown signs of rising as a result of the work, and that problems with flooding downstream when heavy rain falls had been reduced.

How US$154 billion in capital has gone to 300 forest-risk companies since the Paris Agreement

Posted on by dishanth
How US$154 billion in capital has gone to 300 forest-risk companies since the Paris Agreement

Since the Paris climate agreement was signed in 2016, 300 companies at risk for contributing to deforestation have received at least $153.9 billion in financing, according to a new analysis by Forests and Finance. By trawling through publicly available bank records, corporate disclosure sheets, filings, and media records, researchers from the group were able to track more than 50,000 financial deals from across the world, publishing the results of their investigation in a searchable database this week.

The 300 companies that were analyzed received capital in the form of loans or investments and were involved in the production of pulp and paper, beef, palm oil, soy, rubber, or timber.

“We’re not directly accusing any of these companies of deforestation,” said Merel van der Mark, coordinator of the Forests and Finance Coalition, a joint project between six research and environmental advocacy groups. “We’re just saying they’re deforestation-risk companies because historically companies operating in these sectors have been linked to deforestation.”

The Forests and Finance database has existed since 2016, but this is the first year that it was expanded to include companies operating in Brazil or Central and West Africa. Previously it only gathered data on those working in Southeast Asia.

According to the new data, since 2016 banks and other investors have pumped $95.2 billion into forest-risk companies in Brazil, $54.2 billion to those in Southeast Asia, and $4.5 billion to those in Central and West Africa. In the years since the Paris Agreement was signed, those companies have benefited from a 40 per cent increase in credit overall.

The top creditor was Banco do Brasil, a government-owned bank that loaned $30 billion to forest-risk companies in Brazil, largely through the country’s Agriculture Finance Program, which disburses loans to domestic agribusinesses. Bradesco, a private bank in Brazil, was the second-largest creditor, followed by Rabobank of the Netherlands, JPMorgan Chase of the U.S., and Mizuho Financial of Japan.

Brazil’s beef sector, which continues to be linked to deforestation in the Amazon, received about 43 per cent of the credit that was directed to forest-risk industries in the country, making it the largest beneficiary of bank loans.

On the investment side, the Brazilian Economic Development Bank was the largest source of capital for companies working in Brazil, primarily via holdings in the beef and paper industries. BlackRock and Vanguard, two U.S.-based asset management companies, were also in the top three sources of investment for forest-risk industries in Brazil.

The two largest investors overall in the data set were the Malaysian government investment funds Permodalan Nasional Berhad and Employees Provident Fund, which together have sunk $13 billion into companies at risk of deforestation, almost entirely in the oil palm sector. Sime Darby Plantations, a Malaysian oil palm mega-producer, received the most investment of any company in Southeast Asia at $7.1 billion.

In West and Central Africa, Chinese banks dominated the credit landscape, holding eight spots in the top 10 largest lenders to forest-risk companies. The rubber industry was the largest recipient of loans in the region, receiving $2.8 billion overall. Nearly all of that financing went to Sinochem, a Chinese state-owned conglomerate that owns Halcyon Agri, which has been accused of deforestation and the mistreatment of rural communities in Cameroon.

Researchers from Forest and Finance say the purpose of the database is to help the public understand how much money is being directed toward industries that have been known to drive deforestation, and which financial institutions are providing those funds. Of the 15 banks with the largest overall loan portfolios to forest-risk industries, eight have signed the UN’s Principles for Responsible Banking, which includes a commitment to “halt deforestation.”

“We think it’s important that banks and investors develop policies and due diligence processes that ensure that their clients are not involved in deforestation,” said van der Mark. “And we want to show the extent that those banks are potentially exposed to that risk.”

The database is the product of a painstaking process of digging through corporate and bank disclosure documents from across the world, and researchers say their figures are almost certainly an underestimate. In many jurisdictions there are no requirements for companies to disclose the sources of their financing, and while pooled loans provided by multiple banks are generally made public, information about bilateral loans given by a single bank to a client is much harder to uncover.

“There’s definitely a significant amount missing, particularly in jurisdictions where the regulations don’t have sufficient requirements on transparency,” said Ward Wamerdam, senior researcher at Profundo and one of the lead investigators for Forests and Finance.

While the data available offer a crucial picture of capital flows into forest-risk industries, van der Mark says the challenges that Forests and Finance researchers faced speak to a greater need for disclosure requirements across the world.

“One of our criticisms is exactly the fact that there’s a huge lack of transparency,” she said. “The financial industry is notorious for setting up these structures that make it almost impossible to track the beneficiary owner of any funds.”

Māngere family of 11 puts out less than one bin of rubbish a week

Posted on by dishanth
Māngere family of 11 puts out less than one bin of rubbish a week

A thoughtful lifestyle means this family of 11 renting in Māngere puts out less than one bin of rubbish a week.

A chance encounter on a bus driving job to Waitākere Transfer Station sparked Koia Teinakore’s interest in zero waste.

After dropping his passengers off at the Zero Waste Zone learning centre, the father of six and grandfather of three decided to sit in on the class rather than wait on the bus.

 

Koia Teinakore was working as a bus driver when he discovered an interest in zero-waste. Sitting in on a workshop inspired him to teach himself about waste management. Delving into the topic led him on to gardening, making compost, and now rainwater collection at home. RICKY WILSON/STUFF

 

“I went home to the wife that night and told her what a great job I’d had,” he said. Then, he got his children to tip out all the rubbish in the house on to the floor, and to claim responsibility for every bit that was theirs.

 

Teinakore drove a further three groups to the learning centre and sat in on every workshop. He was hooked.

“Each time I took a trip, my eyes were getting wider and wider. My partner, Robyn, and her kohanga reo colleagues attended one of the workshops and when we got home we started thinking differently about how we needed to get it right, to look after Papatūānuku for our tamariki and mokopuna,” he said.

Kiwis throw away 157,389 tonnes of perfectly good food each year, a waste worth $1.17 billion ($644 per household).

 

Koia Teinakore has followed his passion into a role with ME Family Services in Māngere where he helps other families like his be kinder to the environment, grow fresh food and save money. RICKY WILSON/STUFF

 

Teinakore started monitoring his family’s bins. He said that, like most households, they had an “OK” recycling system but “the rest” would fill five big rubbish bags in a week.

The first change he made was to build each of his children their own set of bins to keep in their bedrooms. They became responsible for sorting their waste before adding it to the house rubbish, recycling, soft plastics or compost.

 

Koia Teinakore lives with his wife, six children, and three grandchildren. He likes being in the garden with his mokopuna best. RICKY WILSON/STUFF

 

“My younger ones were not really getting it, so we had them tip out a bag at the end of the week and talked them through the right place to put each piece of packaging,” Teinakore said.

Now, the family often does not have enough rubbish to put their bin out for collection. They manage that by buying all the household essentials (such as soap, sugar and flour) in bulk, like Teinakore’s own mother did, and freezing their food waste to repurpose into creative leftovers, like goulash and soups.

“We don’t have much money anyway but whatever we can save helps,” he said. “And it is also kind to the environment.”

 

ME Family Services is an Auckland Council partner delivering place-based waste education and support. They are creating a thriving regenerative community in Māngere that connects people to their ecosystems. RICKY WILSON/STUFF

 

Changing habits does take a bit of work. “It did not come overnight. It took a good three years for us to get it right.”

Teinakore’s passion led to a paid role at ME Family Services as a waste minimisation facilitator, through which he has been able to share what he has learned with the wider Māngere/Ōtāhuhu communities in partnership with Auckland Council.

He educates church, school and marae groups about waste, and finds people within those groups who can champion the issue. The community organisation has kept 14,000 kilograms of waste material out of landfill in the past year alone.

 

Koia Teinakore collects his family’s food waste in bokashi bins and then digs it into the garden. RICKY WILSON/STUFF

 

The biggest thing Teinakore said he had learned thus far was that growing the food yourself was one of the easiest ways to manage food waste.

Teinakore grew up with big gardens but had lost touch with the skill in adulthood. Again, he sought out some free lessons and brought the knowledge home with him.

He put in winter vege seedlings with his three mokopuna during the last lockdown to teach them that their corn did not come out of a can.

Bokashi bins are a Japanese system that pickles waste – unlike traditional composting where food is allowed to decay – suited to small spaces. Bokashi bins produce a nutrient-rich material that you can dig straight into your garden. Teinakore keeps several of them in the kitchen.

When they are full, everything goes back into the ground, along with any paper and cardboard waste. In three months that will be a fresh load of “beautiful soil” to feed his plants.

 

Change takes time but the results speak for themselves. In three years, Koia Teinakore’s family of 11 went from putting out five full bags of rubbish a week to just one. RICKY WILSON/STUFF

 

“I am chuffed about doing the gardening with my moko because they are at the age where they really listen,” he jokes. “That is the joy of being a granddad.”

Te Puna Oranga, a community garden and resource recovery space in Māngere East, is now in Teinakore’s care. It is open to the community and provides hands-on learning opportunities for anyone interested in finding ways to re-use rubbish as a resource.

Teinakore said he did this work because he wanted to ensure the next generations of his family had the knowledge to carry on the kaupapa.

 

The community garden is open to everyone and provides hands-on learning opportunities for people interested in finding ways to re-use “rubbish” as a resource. It serves as a model for what a backyard patch of land can produce. RICKY WILSON/STUFF

 

“When we were younger we were told that there was a big bright future ahead. But in my own mind, I am not sure there is going to be a big bright future unless people change their attitudes and stop trashing the environment.

“I am no expert but I am willing to learn every day.” Next on his personal to-do list is a home water collection system.

UK provides £27m green loan to solar-powered water project in Ghana

Posted on by dishanth
UK provides £27m green loan to solar-powered water project in Ghana

The UK government has agreed to provide a £27m green loan to support the use of solar energy to sterilise drinking water for rural communities in Ghana, using technology developed by UK-based firm Aqua Africa, it announced today.

The direct UK Export Finance (UKEF) loan to the Ghanaian government follows an agreement between Aqua Africa and the country’s sanitation and water resources ministry in support of a project that is aiming to alleviate up to 225,000 people in Ghana from daily water poverty.

The project is now set to begin next month with community engagement exercises and a ground delivery plan. The first phase will then see filtration units deployed to deliver water to 75 communities starting in January next year, providing clean water to 22,500 people, according to the project partners.

The following 18 months will then see five further phases deliver the rollout of the water pipe systems to the remaining 200,000 people, while deploying smart metering and cashless payment systems to provide income from water sales, they explained.

Ghana’s Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Dapaah, said the green loan was the country’s first, and would play a key role in the push to deliver on the UN Sustainable Development Goals covering climate action, clean water, and sanitation.

“The fulfilment of our basic human needs in our environment is essentially dependent on adequate clean water,” she said. “Increasing water coverage requires a consistent investment on year to year basis since population growth and demand for water keeps increasing. That is why we welcome wholeheartedly the investment in the Aqua Africa Project.”

The move comes amid growing criticism of UKEF – the government’s overseas finance and credit agency – over its role in supporting fossil fuel projects abroad. A BBC Newsnight investigation in January found the agency had financed £6bn of fossil fuel projects around the world since 2010, and separate statistics published by Parliament’s Environmental Audit Committee show that between 2013 and 2018 96 per cent of UKEF’s support of global energy projects went to fossil fuel ventures.

However, reports have recently indicated the government has ordered a review of UKEF and could be poised to soon rule out the use of loan guarantees for overseas fossil fuel projects, amid fears continuing to allow financing for such activities could undermine the UK’s climate leadership ambitions ahead of its hosting of the crucial COP26 global climate summit next year.

Today’s water sanitation loan forms part of a £140m package of financial support for Ghana announced today by the UK government, which also includes over £70m in direct loans and guarantees to support the construction of a major new commercial road between Tema and Aflao, and over £50m to help build a new regional hospital in Koforidua.

The direct loans come at no cost to the taxpayer and shows how the UK’s expertise “is making a lasting and real difference to communities across the globe”, said the UK’s Exports Minister Graham Stuart.

“We are proud to lead the world in our efforts to transition to net zero emissions and UKEF is backing British exporters to support other countries to meet their Paris climate goals,” he said of the water sanitation project. “UKEF’s support for Aqua Africa demonstrates this government’s commitment to exporters with green credentials by ensuring they have the support needed to win international business during the coronavirus pandemic and beyond.”

Air pollution: Government offers up £2m in latest council funding round

Air pollution: Government offers up £2m in latest council funding round

Applications open for latest round of Air Quality Grant scheme for council projects in England

A share of £2m is being offered up to support local clean air projects in England, with the government today launching the latest tranche of funding from its Air Quality Grant scheme aimed at helping schools, businesses, and communities reduce the health impacts of air pollution.

From today until 14 October, councils in England can apply for funding through the scheme to help tackle harmful particulate and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions in cities and towns, with previous winning projects having focused on areas such as air quality testing, awareness raising, and tackling the dangers posed by burning harmful fuels such as coal and wet wood.

The UK has long faced challenges in cleaning up dirty air, particularly in towns and cities characterised by heavy traffic, and has been taken to court several times by green campaigners over its failure to comply with EU air quality standards.

But the government today claimed the £64.5m it has provided through the Air Quality Grant scheme since it was established in 1997 had contributed to a “significant improvement” in air quality in recent decades, with levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) having dropped nine per cent since 2010, while NO2 emissions from vehicles now stand at their lowest ever level.

“Air pollution, and in particular PM2.5, carries enormous risks to human health which is why we are continuing to provide funding to local authorities to help them take action,” said Environment Minister Rebecca Pow. “This is part of delivering on the ambition in our world-leading Clean Air Strategy to halve the harm to human health from air pollution by 2030. We know that local authorities are in the best position to address the issues they face in their areas and we look forward to receiving ideas for ways to reduce emissions and promote cleaner, greener alternatives.”

The latest funding follows the government’s announcement last month that it plans to develop a set of legally-binding environmental targets – including for PM2.5 pollution – with a view to them coming into force from autumn 2022.

Unilever pledges to invest €1bn in eliminating fossil fuels from cleaning products by 2030

Unilever pledges to invest €1bn in eliminating fossil fuels from cleaning products by 2030

Unilever has announced it is to invest €1bn in measures that could allow it to eliminate fossil fuels from its cleaning and laundry products by the end of the decade, an intervention it claims is critical if it is to deliver on its goal of reaching net zero emissions from its products by 2039.

The company intends to transition the products across its cleaning brands – which include Persil, Sunlight, Domestos and Cif – away from chemicals made from fossil fuel feedstocks and replace them with renewable or recycled sources of carbon, such as carbon captured using carbon capture utilisation technology or recovered from waste materials.

Unilever said the €1bn of funding will specifically finance biotechnology research, CO2 utilisation technologies, low carbon chemistry research, and biodegradable and water-efficient product formulations, while also helping the firm halve its use of virgin plastic by 2025.

In addition, the funding will support the development of brand communications that explain the various technologies to customers.

Peter ter Kulve, Unilever’s president of home care, predicted the newly launched ‘Clean Future programme’ would help “radically overhaul” the business. “As an industry, we must break our dependence on fossil fuels, including as a raw material for our products,” he said. “We must stop pumping carbon from under the ground when there is ample carbon on and above the ground if we can learn to utilise it at scale.”

The chemicals in Unilever’s cleaning and laundry products make up the greatest proportion of the company’s carbon footprint, accounting for roughly 46 per cent of its emissions. The firm expects its new programme to reduce the carbon footprint of its product formulations by a fifth.

The Anglo-Dutch company confirmed that work is already underway to wean its products off fossil fuel derived carbon across various global locations. For example, in Slovakia the company is working with biotechnology company Evonik Industries to develop the production of rhamnolipids, a renewable and biodegradable surfactant used in its Sunlight dishwashing liquid in Chile and Vietnam. Meanwhile, in Southern India Unilever is sourcing soda ash – an ingredient in laundry powders – from CO2 capture technology. The company intends to scale up both initiatives in the coming years.

Similarly, liquid detergent made by Persil – one of Unilever’s largest and most popular brands in the UK – has been reformulated to rely on plant-based stain removers. The new line is to be sold in British supermarkets from later this month.

And in order to demystify the different production processes to its consumers, competitors, and partners, Unilever has today published a ‘carbon rainbow’ model geared at outlining the range of alternatives to fossil fuel derived carbon. Non-renewable, fossil-based sources of carbon are labelled on the Carbon Rainbow as ‘black carbon’, while captured CO2 is referred to as ‘purple carbon’, plants and biological sources are branded ‘green carbon’, marine sources such as algae are labelled ‘blue carbon’, and carbon recovered from waste materials is described as ‘grey carbon’.

Ter Kulve urged other businesses to adopt the ‘carbon rainbow’ system. “Diversifying sources of carbon is essential to grow within the limits of our planet,” he said. “Our suppliers and innovation partners play a critical role through this transition. By sharing our Carbon Rainbow model, we are calling on an economy-wide transformation in how we all use carbon”.

The investment announced today comes just months after the company announced it would spend €1bn on a range of nature-based initiatives in support of its over-arching net zero emission goal, including reforestation, water preservation and biodiversity, through a Climate and Nature Fund.
