Carbon Kitemarks Do Not Go Far Enough

1/4/2021

By Lorne Milne
​​The UK government has announced the introduction of a low carbon kitemark as part of the new Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy. The scheme is aimed at encouraging the consumer to make greener, more informed decisions whereby the presence of the kitemark stamp suggests a product meets a particular low-carbon standard. While this is a move in the right direction, it does not go far enough.

GAS portfolio impact assessment - February 2021

9/3/2021

2 Comments

 
By Antoine Pradayrol
A year ago, we published GAS’ inaugural portfolio impact assessment, calculating for the first time the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that are being avoided thanks to our portfolio companies. Last October, we released our first six-month update, and this is our third edition – our impact report for the second half of 2020.

Green Angel Syndicate is the UK’s angel syndicate specialising in tackling global warming and climate change – and we therefore measure our impact in terms of the quantities of carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) that have not been emitted into the atmosphere thanks to the activity of our portfolio companies.

Building back better: COVID, Nature and Sustainable Innovation

4/3/2021

0 Comments

 
By Katie Critchlow, CEO of GAS Portfolio Company, NatureMetrics  - First published on the NatureMetrics Blog  on 12th February 2021
The year 2020 had been dubbed the super year for nature - critical global agreements on Sustainable Development Goals, biodiversity and the UN climate COP all hotly anticipated. But 2020 was instead famous only for COVID-19. But COVID, in its own terrible way, may change the way we view our relationship with the natural world, our relationship with risk and with our role as stewards of the future. From adversity, the green shoots of change are emerging in ways we could never have imagined at the turn of the decade.

“Dirty” Investments?

A green recovery, a green industrial revolution, build back greener. 

These are just a few of the terms used by the UK Government to demonstrate its commitment to accelerating our path to net zero. It is vital these phrases are not just soundbites leading up to the UK’s co-hosting of COP26, but signals for real action in the fight against climate change.

Climate Change Crisis vs The Covid Emergency

1/2/2021

by Freddy Rogers
Business leaders have called for a ‘paradigm shift’ in the Government's approach to tackling climate change and renewable innovation. The vast amount of money and resources pumped into the search for Covid vaccines has demonstrated beyond a doubt that where there’s a will there’s a way. With the right support, funding and incentives from Government, UK innovators could focus on reducing and reversing carbon emissions.

The case for seaweed

22/1/2021

By David Sheridan
​On 28th January 2021, Green Angel Syndicate members and guests will be watching a presentation from a company that uses innovative biorefinery methods to develop food products and bio-packaging from sustainably-farmed seaweed. 

​Environmental Benefits

Seaweeds provide the planet with enormous environmental benefits. By removing CO2 from the atmosphere, seaweeds reduce the concentration of CO2 at the same time as reducing harmful ocean acidification resulting from man-made carbon emissions. Seaweeds encourage marine biodiversity both in terms of habitat and nutrients.  Kelp, a seaweed that can grow as much as one metre long in a single day, is estimated to absorb five times more carbon than land-based plants. Seaweed farming is a new development designed to enhance the presence of seaweed while also providing a commercial return.  By increasing the carbon sink effect of seaweed, it will increase the ocean’s capacity for carbon removal from the atmosphere..

Can History offer any lessons for Climate Change?

20/11/2020

 
By Nick Lyth
In an unprecedented crisis never apparently experienced before, as Climate Change, is it possible to learn lessons from history?
​
We are considering Climate Change with no sense of previous experience to guide us.  There is an explicit demonstration of this in all the language used.  “Never before”, “existential”, “extinction” are all words appearing in accounts of the problem.  The scale of the challenge is considered to be unique.
