Spain Tightens Climate Rules: Mandatory Carbon Reporting from 2026

Spain has unveiled a sweeping climate emergency plan that tightens corporate disclosure rules and accelerates the country’s clean energy transition. Under the new law, companies must begin reporting carbon emissions in 2026 for 2025 data, covering Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Large businesses will also be required to include Scope 3 emissions from 2028. From 2026, all entities must submit greenhouse gas reduction plans with at least five-year targets, making early engagement critical.

Alongside stricter reporting rules, Spain is ramping up renewable energy with ambitious 2030 targets: 81% of power generation from renewables, 21 GW of new solar capacity, and 12 GW of hydrogen electrolysers. Already, more than half of Spain’s electricity comes from renewable sources.

Vietnam Sells 1 Million Tons of CO₂ Reductions to World Bank

Vietnam has approved the transfer of one million tons of surplus CO₂ reductions from plantation forests to the World Bank’s IBRD under its Emission Reductions Payment Agreement. Valued at about $5 million, the deal will channel funds to forest owners, local authorities, and sustainable livelihood programs in five provinces. While 95% of credits will be reassigned back to Vietnam for its Paris Agreement commitments, the move shows how carbon markets can both fund community development and advance national climate goals.

Study Finds Carbon Storage Potential Far Smaller Than Industry Claims

A new study in Nature shows that the world can safely store only about 1.46 trillion tons of CO₂ underground, nearly ten times less than industry estimates. The research, led by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis with Imperial College London, found that once risks like leakage, earthquakes, groundwater contamination, and proximity to population centers are considered, the potential to curb warming through storage is far more limited than previously assumed.

Instead of the 5–6°C reductions suggested by engineering models, safe storage capacity would only lower global warming by about 0.7°C. As of early 2025, just over 50 million tons of CO₂ storage capacity is operational worldwide, with projections to reach 670 million tons by 2030, according to the IEA. Researchers emphasize that carbon storage should be used carefully to halt and reverse warming where possible rather than to justify continued fossil fuel use.

China to Impose Absolute Carbon Caps by 2027 in Key Industries

China announced it will tighten its national carbon trading system by introducing absolute emissions caps in certain industries for the first time starting in 2027. The move, detailed in a statement from the State Council and Communist Party leadership, signals a major shift from the current system that relies on carbon intensity benchmarks. By 2030, China aims to fully establish a nationwide emissions trading scheme (ETS) with caps, covering major industries and replacing the eight pilot markets launched in 2021.

The ETS will expand to sectors such as steel, cement, aluminium, chemicals, and aviation, while also opening participation to banks and financial institutions to boost liquidity. Analysts note that China views carbon markets as a “key tool” in achieving its decarbonization goals. However, the system’s impact will depend on how free allowances are phased out. With the new timeline, industries and investors now have greater clarity on how the world’s largest emitter plans to use market mechanisms to drive its net-zero transition.
