AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoClimate & Industry: A new European CCS model is taking shape in the Netherlands-to-Norway route: Yara captures CO₂ in Zeeland and ships it to the Northern Lights site near Øygarden, with storage for about 12 million tonnes over 15 years—showing how “CO₂ management services” could work without every emitter owning storage. Biodiversity & Soil Life: Stockholm University-led research overturns a long-held assumption about nitrogen-fixing bacteria in Casuarina root nodules, finding the diversity was missed by lab culturing because many key microbes can’t grow on plates. Energy Use & Tech: A report warns data centres’ power demand is surging (and water use is next), arguing that today’s efficiency metrics miss the real climate and resource footprint—especially as AI ramps up electricity demand. Green Policy & EU Budget: EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen pushes back against “frugal” states, including Sweden, seeking large cuts to the next EU budget, warning critical priorities could be hit. Health Data (EU): The EU launches CHAIN, a 36-month cardiovascular health data and AI network to improve prevention and care across Europe.
