BERN – Since Switzerland's authorities last month pulled out all the stops to rush through a rescue of Credit Suisse, a storm has been brewing in the normally tranquil country. Many Swiss parliamentarians have criticized the shotgun marriage, which saw Credit Suisse taken over by rival UBS for 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.3 billion) and propped up with over 250 billion francs in guarantees and support. On Tuesday, they will meet in Bern for an extraordinary session to discuss Credit Suisse's downfall as well as the government's open checkbook response.

As companies buy more solar, wind and other forms of emissions-free power, they are exploring carbon accounting options that move beyond 'annual matching,' the standard of offsetting one's electricity use by buying at least the same amount of clean energy over a year whether or not it can be delivered to the purchaser. Information on these emerging approaches — carbon matching and 24/7 hourly purchase — as well as on standardized renewable energy power purchase agreements and the role corporations can plan in supporting emissions-free 'firm' and 'peaking' resources like advanced geothermal power can be found in the Utility Dive stories below.

They say the authors share compelling evidence that sheds light on the interplay between genetic attributes and environmental conditions in shaping insulin signalling in skeletal muscle – a crucial regulator of metabolism.

HAMBURG, Germany – At a red-brick factory in the German port city of Hamburg, cocoa bean shells go in one end, and out the other comes an amazing black powder with the potential to counter climate change. The substance, dubbed biochar, is produced by heating the cocoa husks in an oxygen-free room to 600 degrees Celsius (1,112 Fahrenheit). The process locks in greenhouse gases and the final product can be used as a fertiliser, or as an ingredient in the production of 'green' concrete. While the biochar industry is still in its infancy, the technology offers a novel way to remove carbon from the Earth's atmosphere, experts say.
