Satellite Constellation Set to Unmask World’s Super Polluters
(Bloomberg) -- Efforts to identify and attribute global emissions will get a boost from satellites to be launched by a consortium including Carbon Mapper, the State of California, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Planet Labs Inc.Data collected by the satellites will pinpoint and measure sources of methane and carbon dioxide, as well as more than two dozen other environmental indicators, the group said in a statement on Thursday. The first two satellites are set to launch in 2023, with more to be added two years later.Carbon Mapper, a non-profit that plans to make high-emitting methane and CO2 sources publicly visible at the facility level, is at the heart of this latest effort to increase transparency on fossil-fuel industry emissions. The sector accounts for roughly a third of the methane generated by human activity.“This decade represents an all-hands-on-deck moment for humanity to make critical progress in addressing climate change,” Riley Duren, chief executive officer of Carbon Mapper, said in the statement. “Our mission is to help fill gaps in the emerging global ecosystem of methane and CO2 monitoring systems by delivering data that’s timely, actionable and accessible for science-based decision making.”Scientists are just beginning to pinpoint the biggest sources of methane, a greenhouse gas that’s about 80 times more potent in its first two decades in the atmosphere than CO2. At least a quarter of global warming is caused by man-made methane emissions, according to the Environmental Defense Fund, a non-profit whose founders got the pesticide DDT banned in the U.S.While green house gas observations from space can be affected by cloud cover, precipitation and varying light intensity, the ability to attribute leaks to individual polluters is getting closer as more satellites that offer greater precision and more frequent coverage are launched.Emissions monitoring firm GHGSat Inc., which uses observations from its own satellites as well as publicly available data from the European Space Agency, said in February that it tracked leaks from at least eight natural gas pipelines and unlit flares in Turkmenistan that released as much as 10,000 kilograms of methane per hour.EDF’s PermianMap project, which combines data from satellites and other ground-based observations to attribute and aggregate emissions by operator in one of the world’s most active fossil fuel basins, is a harbinger of the greater transparency. EDF plans to launch its own satellite to track methane emissions next year.“We’re seeing an emergence of a global system of systems to track methane emissions that, if properly coordinated and sustained, could provide actionable data and improved awareness for companies, governments and civil society,” Carbon Mapper’s Duren said in an interview, referring to multiple efforts to track emissions from space.Carbon Mapper has received funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies, the charitable organization founded by Michael Bloomberg, founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent company Bloomberg LP.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

Information Relating to the General Meeting of Edf Shareholders of 6 May 2021
PRESS RELEASE9 April 2021 INFORMATION RELATING TO THE GENERAL MEETING OF EDF SHAREHOLDERS OF 6 MAY 2021 Given the exceptional circumstances related to the health crisis, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EDF, upon delegation of the Board of Directors, has decided that the combined Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company, scheduled on 6 May 2021 and initially convened with the participation of its shareholders, will finally be held without the physical attendance of its members. This decision follows, in particular, the Decree No. 2021-255 of 9 March 2021, which extended until 31 July 2021 the application period of the Ordinance No. 2020-321 of 25 March 2020, as amended, and Decree No. 2020-418 of 10 April 2020, as amended, adapting the rules for meetings and deliberations of collective corporate bodies of legal persons and entities that are not legal entities under private law, due to the Covid-19 epidemic. The administrative measures limiting or prohibiting travel or collective gatherings, the closure of conference and meeting rooms and the obligation to comply with physical distancing measures, with regard to the number of persons which are usually present at the previous Shareholders' Meetings, prevent the physical presence of shareholders at the meeting of 6 May 2021. Under these conditions, the Shareholders' Meeting will be broadcast in live on the Company's website (www.edf.fr) and the video will also be available on replay within the period provided for by the regulations. Shareholders are invited to exercise their voting rights by mail, by internet or by granting a proxy to the Chairman of the Shareholders' Meeting or any person of their choice. The procedures for voting by post will be described in the convening notice which will be published by EDF in the Bulletin des Annonces Légales Obligatoires. In addition, the Board of Directors, on its meeting of 8 April, modified the agenda of the Shareholders' Meeting and decided to propose to the Shareholders’ Meeting the renewal of four directors whose terms of office are expiring. Therefore, it will be proposed to the shareholders to renew for a period of four years the terms of office of Marie-Christine Lepetit, Head of the Inspectorate General of Finance, Colette Lewiner, professional Director, Michèle Rousseau, Chair of BRGM and François Delattre, General Secretary of the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. The Board noted at this meeting that the process of selecting an independent director to be proposed to the shareholders to replace Laurence Parisot was still ongoing. Laurence Parisot had indeed indicated at a previous Board meeting that given her functions as Chairwoman and Managing Director of Citi France, she could no longer serve as director within the Board of Directors of EDF. In order to continue the selection process for a new director in the best possible conditions, the Board of Directors therefore decided to postpone the proposal for the appointment of a new director to a subsequent Shareholders’ Meeting. The Board of Directors thanks Laurence Parisot for her contribution to the work of the Board. Finally, the French State and the « Fonds Actions EDF » have been appointed as scrutineers of the combined Shareholder’s Meeting of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Decree no. 2020-418 of 10 April 2020, as amended, and will attend the Shareholders’ Meeting.
