Corporate Guide: Net Zero and the Scope 3 Challenge
Introduction
This guide is designed to help organisations tackle the trickiest but arguably most significant part of their journey to net zero: reducing emissions from their supply chain. Known as scope 3, these emissions must first be identified, and then reported, to support a managed strategy of phased reduction. By definition, scope 3 emissions are outside the direct operations of an organisation, so they are difficult to quantify and even harder to influence. Reporting and addressing these emissions brings an element of risk, making it all the more important to establish rigorous and transparent procedures to do so.

Thermal Energy Equipment: Boilers & Thermic Fluid Heaters
INTRODUCTION
This section briefly describes the Boiler and various auxiliarie s in the Boiler Room. A boiler is an enclosed vessel that provides a means for combustion heat to be transferred to water until it becomes heated water or steam. The hot water or steam under pressure is then usable for transferring the heat to a process. Water is a useful and inexpensive medium for transferring heat to a process. When water is boiled into steam its volume increases about 1,600 times, producing a force that is almost as explosive as gunpowder. This causes the boiler to be an equipment that must be treated with utmost care.

Developing a National Green Taxonomy
INTRODUCTION
In recent decades, the challenges of a rapidly warming planet and other aspects of environmental degradation have motivated a call for all actors in society, including the financial sector, to take responsibility for environmental sustainability. While global financing needs for environmentally sustainable growth have not, to date, been systematically estimated, the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate reckons that the world will need to invest approximately US$90 trillion in sustainable infrastructure assets over the next 15 years.2 Financing is also needed to support sustainable agriculture and avoid deforestation, among other priorities.
