2025: Changes to environmental rules and regulations

Whether your business is based in the UK, EU, US or Asia, changes to environmental rules and regulations are on the horizon for 2025.

 

From biogenic CO₂ and emissions trading, carbon capture and dioxin measuring to mercury monitoring, BREF revisions and methane mitigation. We take a closer look at some of the environmental regulatory changes global businesses can expect for 2025 and beyond.

Why accurate biogenic CO₂ measurement matters: Insights from Jürgen Reinmann and the future of emissions trading in Europe

As European climate policies evolve, the differentiation between fossil and biogenic CO₂ emissions is becoming increasingly important. Especially as sectors like waste-to-energy prepare to comply with new emissions trading regulations. To shed light on why precise biogenic CO₂ measurement is not only a compliance requirement but also a financial opportunity, we spoke with ENVEA Global’s in-house expert Jürgen Reinmann, our Director of Regulatory. Reinmann is a respected authority with over 20 years of experience in long-term sampling micropollutants.

Why Effective Mercury Emissions Monitoring is More Important than Ever

Though it occurs naturally, mercury remains a persistent and insidious threat to the environment and our health. Once released into the environment through industrial processes, it can travel tremendous distances for thousands of years. In fact, the WHO has now classified mercury as one of the ten chemicals of major public health concern.

Cut Emissions and Unlock Profits: The Business Benefits of Measuring Biogenic CO₂

In an era of heightened environmental accountability, the waste-to-energy industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint and align with global sustainability goals. One area that often goes overlooked, but plays an increasingly important role in both climate strategy and business operations, is the measurement of biogenic CO₂.
