Carbon Markets & Climate Policy٢٥ سبتمبر ٢٠٢٦Türkiye’s Carbon Market Pilot: 2026 Data Sets Your 2027 Carbon Bill
Türkiye’s Emissions Trading System (TR ETS) regulation entered into force on 27 August 2026. The Carbon Market Board’s first decision (KPK/2026/1) then set a 2026–2027 pilot for Category B and C installations in five sectors: electricity generation, cement, iron and steel, aluminium and fertilisers. 2026 is a reporting-only year, and carbon pricing starts in 2027.

Emissions Reporting١٦ سبتمبر ٢٠٢٦ESRS E3 Water Disclosure in the GCC: What Boards Need to Know
ESRS E3 is the European standard covering water and marine resources. It requires companies to report water withdrawal, discharge, consumption, recycled and reused volumes and water intensity, with separate disclosure for sites located in areas of high water stress. For companies operating in the GCC, nearly every site meets that definition, which changes the shape […]
Emissions Reporting١٠ سبتمبر ٢٠٢٦Dual-Fuel Ships Won’t Cut Your Scope 1 and 3 Automatically
A methanol dual-fuel ship does not lower anyone’s emissions number by itself. What counts is the fuel actually burned and its full lifecycle intensity, measured well-to-wake from production through combustion. Grey methanol, made from natural gas, delivers little to no reduction; only green or bio-methanol, backed by evidence, changes what a Gulf logistics group, port […]

On 20 August 2026, the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC), Saudi Arabia’s principal buyer of electricity, signed four agreements for 2GW of battery energy storage worth SAR 4.35 billion. It was the Kingdom’s first award of build-own-operate contracts for grid-scale storage. Every headline framed it as a milestone for renewable integration. Almost none mentioned the […]

The UAE Climate Law’s one-year transition period ended on 30 May 2026, making greenhouse gas (GHG) measurement a legal obligation for every in-scope entity in the country, with fines up to AED 2,000,000 and no size threshold. The single national filing date is expected to be extended pending the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment […]

Qatar has made IFRS S1 and S2 mandatory for banks and insurers from 1 January 2026, the first hard International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) mandate in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Bahrain’s rules are already live, Oman and Kuwait have moved from guidance into requirements, and the UAE and Saudi Arabia are converging on the […]
Carbon Markets & Climate Policy١٢ أغسطس ٢٠٢٦Inside Saudi Arabia’s Carbon Market: A 2026 Offset Strategy for Gulf Corporates
Saudi Arabia now offers two routes to carbon credits. RVCMC is a PIF- and Tadawul-backed trading exchange, and GCOM is the domestic mechanism for Saudi-origin projects. Almost all credits sold through RVCMC so far originate outside the Kingdom, and whether a credit is authorised under Article 6 decides what a buyer can legally claim. For […]
Carbon Markets & Climate Policy٦ أغسطس ٢٠٢٦CBAM in 2026: What GCC Steel and Aluminium Exporters Actually Owe
The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) entered its definitive regime on 1 January 2026, but a GCC steel or aluminium exporter owes very little in certificate cash for 2026, and nothing is payable until 30 September 2027. What is owed now is verified emissions data. The cost curve looks gentle this year and steepens […]
