Empresas tecnológicas rechazan nuevas normas de emisiones de CO2

Más de 60 empresas, incluyendo Apple y Amazon, enviaron una carta contra las nuevas reglas del Protocolo de Gases de Efecto Invernadero.

Según ellas, las reglas nuevas harán que suba el precio de la electricidad. También dicen que reducirán las inversiones en energías limpias.

El Protocolo quiere cambiar cómo se miden las emisiones de energía comprada. Ahora las empresas pueden comprar certificados de energía limpia en cualquier momento.

Las nuevas normas exigen que la energía limpia sea local y disponible al mismo tiempo que la energía normal. Esto afecta a la manera en que las empresas muestran su compromiso con el medio ambiente.

El Protocolo divide las emisiones en tres categorías. La primera es la contaminación directa de la empresa. La segunda incluye la electricidad que compran.

La tercera categoría es para cualquier otra emisión en su cadena de producción. Las nuevas reglas afectarían principalmente a la segunda categoría.

Las empresas argumentan que las reglas nuevas son muy difíciles de cumplir. Por eso piden que sean opcionales y no obligatorias.

How it works

Read any environment article in Spanish — at your level.

Convert any environment article from any publication you already read and get it rewritten in Spanish at A1, A2, and B1 simultaneously. This is real journalism, adapted to your exact level, not toy sentences or simplifications far removed from real news.

Environmental vocabulary has become one of the most important domains in contemporary Spanish. Terms like cambio climático, energía renovable, biodiversidad, sostenibilidad, and emisiones appear not just in science sections but in politics, business, and society coverage every day.

Spanish-speaking countries are at the frontline of climate change impacts — from drought in Spain to deforestation in the Amazon. This geographic spread means environmental journalism is high-stakes, emotionally resonant, and consistently in the news cycle.
