TRANCONA CONSULTING INVESTOR WANTED Green hydrogen is expected to play a major role in our economy’s transition to net zero emissions by 2050. It is envisaged that Australia will become a major producer and exporter of green hydrogen-creating jobs and promoting economic growth. The 2022 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report also highlighted the role of green hydrogen as an alternative fuel to assist with halving global emissions by 2030. In this AIBE explainer, we explore the economics of green hydrogen with a focus on Australia. So, what is green hydrogen? Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. However, it is very rare in its pure form and must be obtained from a chemical process. There will be different types of hydrogen, depending on the source of energy. This is popularly known as the “hydrogen rainbow”. Green hydrogen is produced with no emissions from renewable sources of energy such as wind, hydro, or solar. An electrolyser uses electricity to break water into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called electrolysis. Grey hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels, and it is considered blue if emissions are captured, stored or offset. The pursuit of hydrogen as an alternative fuel is not new. There have been various unsuccessful attempts over the last 50 years to scale up hydrogen production. It is hoped, however, that green hydrogen can be used as an alternative fuel, stored, or transformed into ammonia, which is less flammable, has almost double the energy density, and can be stored at less energy-intensive temperatures. Proposal Start-up company with large share capital for sale in Romania. Possibility to start up all possible activities.

South Australia is offering an unparalleled opportunity for companies to be part of the green iron transformation. The shift to green iron and steel production will see massive investment and jobs growth in the energy and mining sectors, as well as hundreds of other industries along the supply chain. The Government has announced it will launch an expression of interest process in June, seeking to attract commercial partners to help establish a flourishing green iron industry in South Australia by 2030. To be involved, or to keep up to date on key developments, you’ll need to register your interest to hear more about the opportunity. Registering your interest will ensure you are among the first to hear about: • the release of the Government’s Green Iron and Steel Strategy; • the launch of the Green Iron Expression of Interest process; and • for companies, potential access to a series of industry events that will allow companies to work closely with the Government to advance green iron projects. Don't miss this opportunity to be front and centre of the transformation economy ➡ https://lnkd.in/gTQfsT3W #hydrogen #greeniron #greensteel #renewableenergy #steelmaking #electricarcfurnace #magnetite #southaustralia #decarbonisation

#Bougainville #News BEC grants exploration licence to Eivo-Joint Venture Ltd The Bougainville Executive Council has granted mineral Exploration License number 7 (EL07) to Eivo-Joint Venture Ltd (EJV). #Bougainville #President and Minister for Mineral and Energy Hon. Ishmael Toroama presented the exploration license to EJV landowners in Arawa Town today. The licence is granted with mandatory licence conditions as required by the 2015 Bougainville Mining Act and also additional licence conditions imposed by the Bougainville Executive Council. Some of these licence conditions include: • Land Access and Compensation Agreement requirements • Landowner Identification Study requirements • Social Mapping Study requirements • Work program performance requirements • Local expenditure requirements • Community engagement requirements • Environment permitting and environment management requirements The decision by the Bougainville Executive Council to grant the exploration license was made after EJV had satisfied the requirements of the Bougainville Mining Act and also considering there was significant support by landowners and local leaders for the project. Member for Eivo-Torau Hon. Lawrence Sirapui in thanking the BEC for the grant decision also spoke in support of EJV and the exploration project. “This is the type of project that we need to kick start Bougainville’s economy so it important that all stakeholders must support it,” President Toroama said. “Our collective support for projects of this magnitude can see the growth of a sustainable mineral sector in Bougainville,” President Toroama added. #EconomicSector #Mining https://lnkd.in/d4TPzWek

The much anticipated deep coal study in Bass’ 100% owned PEL 182 in the Cooper Basin is underway. It is well understood that Australia is experiencing significant issues relating to reliable domestic gas supply now and in the foreseeable future. This problem is exemplified by a severe lack of any new material gas discoveries and projects. The issue is getting worse not better. Bass is in a unique position to have 100% ownership of an asset in PEL 182, that could potentially go some way to rectifying the domestic eastern gas market supply issues. We know the gas is there is large quantities, however it requires new techniques to unlock the gas, commercially. The work that SLB and Bass will execute over the coming months will significantly increase our understanding of the pathway to commercialising this significant gas resource.

MINING MAGNET INVESTS IN RARE EARTHS - Australian mining billionaire Gina Rinehart's company, Hancock Prospecting, is making significant strides in the rare earths industry. With recent investments in Lynas and MP Materials, the company is diversifying its portfolio and positioning itself as a major player in the critical raw materials market. This move has sparked speculation about a potential merger between the two companies, which could create a counterweight to China's market power in the sector. Rinehart's investments extend to other rare earths companies in Australia and Brazil, as well as lithium mining companies like Vulcan Energy Resources. It's exciting to see Hancock Prospecting take on a bigger role in this important industry. Source:Rohstoff.net

This week, Fenix Resources Chairman John Welborn presented at the Market Talk | Investor Relations and Media Collaborations Natural Resources Matinée on 6 May at Sydney’s Hubert Theatre Royale. Hosted by Perth-based ResolveIR and Sydney-based Investability IR and in partnership with Australia's leading news website, covering emerging stories Stockhead, the one-day investor event showcased carefully selected, high growth companies at various levels of development in the resources sector. ▶️Ahead of the event, John caught up with @Stockhead TV. Watch the interview with John and Stockhead TV 📺👇🏽 https://loom.ly/5kChL-E 🗞️Read the editorial feature here: https://lnkd.in/g9Gzw4Nm Fenix Resources Limited is a profitable iron ore producer that operates the Iron Ridge mine that produces 1.3Mtpa of iron ore that is developing more two more pillars to its business. During the first half of FY2024, the company’s operations delivered record revenue of $126.9m, up 49% from the previous corresponding period, EBITDA of $42.8m – up 110% pcp, and net profit after tax of $22.1m, up 102% pcp. However, the company is also expanding into new operations with its own haulage fleet and port infrastructure base in Geraldton. FEX is providing port and haulage services for Midwest iron ore producers CuFe (ASX:CUF) and private company Gold Valley. We have signed up other Midwest iron ore producers CuFe – an ASX listed company – and Gold Valley – a private company, and we are doing port services and haulage services for those two customers. Separately, the company has negotiated a 10Mt right to mine on SinoSteel’s W11 Beebyn deposit that is 20km away from Iron Ridge and expects to publish a feasibility study that will pave the way for bringing W11 Beebyn into production to augment its existing production. It is also working to make a similar decision on the Shine iron ore mine it acquired from Mt Gibson (ASX:MGX). “I think investors should be looking for us to define and then execute our pathway from being a single mine producer to being a multi-mine producer in the Mid-West with the corresponding boost to our revenues and profitability,” Welborn told Stockhead. #ASX #Stockstowatch #Investing #FEX #Resources #Watchlist

🇹🇱 Important development in Timor-Leste! 🇹🇱 On May 3, TIMOR GAP, E.P., the national oil and gas corporation of Timor-Leste, alongside Australia's Timor Resources, successfully reached a settlement agreement, resolving a longstanding commercial dispute. This dispute had previously obstructed progress in the Onshore Blocks A and C. Under the leadership of Rui Soares, President and CEO of Timor Gap, and Suellen Osborne, Founder and Managing Director of Timor Resources, this agreement not only resolves past issues but also sets the stage for future collaboration and advancements. This agreement restores confidence among the joint venture partners, facilitating crucial operations in onshore Timor-Leste. Key activities will include the evaluation of recent technical discoveries and the promising prospects of hydrocarbon production along the South Coast. Congratulations to both teams on reaching this important agreement! 💼🌟 #TimorGap #TimorResources #TimorLeste #EnergySector #Collaboration #MilestoneAchievement 🇹🇱

It is disappointing to see the Australian government backing gas "to 2050 and beyond", and advocating for the development of further gas fields.    Yes, the #AEMO and #CSIRO see #gas being the cheapest way of firming the grid, for peak times when renewables and batteries are stretched. However, this will become an increasingly small part for the grid.    More importantly, with 80% of #methane currently being exported, why are we not keeping more in reserve for peak domestic demand? The industry will say there is too little supply in #Victoria and no infrastructure to move sufficient gas into the state. With us being able to export gas to #Korea and #Japan, this argument simply does not pass the pub test!   If this does go ahead, I would expect a whole host of restrictions and requirements to be in place:  ❌ #Methane has half the emissions of black coal, but only when burnt. If it leaks, then over a 20-year timeline, it is 80 times worse than CO2. There should be strict restrictions and penalties for leaks ❌ Carbon capture and storage has not operated effectively at scale anywhere in the world. If companies want to commit to this, it should be at their expense, not subsidised, and any shortfall of carbon capture, should lead to reduced gas production ❌ Exports may well be required to support the transition away from coal in other countries. Where that occurs, this should be consistent with that counties Paris-aligned transition plans   Without these and other protections, we are giving a green light to continued, unabated production that is sure to compromise global transition plans. #netzero #netzeroemissions #climatechange #sustainability #leadership #oilandgas Anthony Albanese Jim Chalmers Madeleine King Chris Bowen MP
