Australia could reduce key industry emissions by 92 per cent by 2050, according to a new report. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. Pathways to Industrial Decarbonisation is the third and final report from the Australian Industry ETI A new Australian Industry ETI report says Australia could cut annual greenhouse gas emissions in five key industrial sectors by 92 per cent by 2050, based on 2020 levels. Widely supported by industry partners, the report outlines an ambitious pathway to reducing emissions in line with limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees. The report says a “coordinated action scenario” would need substantial government incentives to complement industry leadership. All told, the investment required could total around $625 billion, or more than $20 billion annually for 30 years. But the rewards could be huge: a competitive advantage for Australian green industries; new export sectors; sustained market share in existing markets; up to 1.35 million jobs; all with far less land-based sequestration than would be required under alternative scenarios. The findings are published in the third and final phase of research from the Australian Industry Energy Transitions Initiative (Australian Industry ETI), Pathways to Industrial Decarbonisation . “This is a […]

Summary The impact of a volatile macro environment on Spotify should be fairly limited due to their sticky subscription revenue. This now appears to be priced into the stock though. It is too early to say how beneficial Spotify’s product expansion efforts will be, but given Spotify’s valuation, they represent an upside opportunity rather than a downside risk. Investors remain skeptical of Spotify’s business, and hence, the stock continues to have a modest valuation. Avid Photographer. Travel the world to capture moments and beautiful photos. Sony Alpha User Over the past few years Spotify (NYSE: SPOT ) has established itself as the dominant audio streaming platform globally. Despite this, investors generally remain skeptical about the company’s ability to generate decent profit margins. This is likely somewhat shortsighted given Spotify’s recent strategic moves. At the end of 2022, Spotify had over 100 million tracks , 5 million podcasts and 300,000 audio books on their platform. Continued user growth and product expansion should improve Spotify’s margins and in time bargaining power. While the stock is not as undervalued as it was several months ago, even a modest level of profitability should still see Spotify outperform the market over a longer time […]

Nicola Sturgeon leaves Bute House with work still to be done on Scotland economy By Douglas Fraser Business and economy editor, Scotland The next first minister will have a full in-tray on trying to get the economy moving and improving the way ministers choose their spending priorities. As MSPs vote through the Holyrood budget this week, external experts are ferocious in their assessment of how it’s put together. Even on women starting up in business, Nicola Sturgeon has taken a long time to pay attention to the disadvantages they face. In the weeks before Nicola Sturgeon hands back the Great Seal of Scotland and boxes up her books at Bute House, there is unfinished business. A lot of it has to do with, well, business. A budget to pass on Tuesday. And the economy. And it’s likely that the low profile given to growing the economy under Ms Sturgeon’s leadership might be something Kate Forbes and perhaps others will wish to change. When she’s not being required to explain her Christian faith, that seems to be one part of the turf where the finance and economy secretary intends to pitch her leadership campaign tent. Her main rival, Humza Yousaf, […]
