Donegal Startup Deploys AI to Streamline Environmental Approvals for Renewable Energy

A Donegal-based startup is tackling one of the biggest bottlenecks in the renewable energy sector: slow environmental approvals. Canavan Atlantic uses a hybrid AI platform to automate environmental impact assessments, helping projects move from concept to construction faster.

AI-Powered Environmental Intelligence

A new startup from Donegal is reportedly using artificial intelligence to transform the traditionally slow and manual process of environmental compliance. According to reports, Canavan Atlantic aims to “make environmental intelligence a core part of how the world builds” by automating environmental impact assessments (EIAs), which are mandatory for large-scale projects.

Australian Tropical Rainforests Shift from Carbon Sink to Emissions Source in World First

Australian tropical rainforests have become the first in the world to transition from carbon sinks to net carbon emitters, according to new research. The shift, driven by extreme temperatures and drier conditions, began approximately 25 years ago and could signal future changes for global tropical forests.

World First: Australian Rainforests Become Carbon Emitters

Australian tropical rainforest trees have reportedly become the first globally to switch from being a carbon sink to an emissions source, according to new research published in Nature. The analysis indicates this fundamental shift began approximately 25 years ago due to increasingly extreme temperatures and drier conditions affecting forest health.
