We investigated Stanlow refinery's environmental record, finding that UK authorities awarded it a 'no-limit' permit that helped it avoid scrutiny for discharging oil in a protected wildlife site.
@source-material.orgThis story was a partnership with the BBC. Read their version here:

@source-material.orgThe second investigated the impact of some of those hidden data centres in Mumbai, where the increased power demands of new data centres has prompted the local government to cancel the closures of two highly polluting coal power plants.
@source-material.orgWe published two stories as part of this project. The first used leaked internal data from Amazon Web Services to reveal that the company is using twice as many data centres worldwide as previously thought.
@source-material.orgIt's great to see two of our reporters, @lukewbarratt.bsky.social and @atikarehman.bsky.social, named as winners of a @coveringclimatenow.org award.
We worked with @earthjournalism.bsky.social and journalists across Asia to investigate the environmental impact of a massive increase in data centres.
@samschramski.bsky.socialReposted by @source-material.orgWow! Kudos to the #DarkSideoftheBoom team at @earthjournalism.bsky.social and the many partners across Asia who made this award possible.
