The strategic partnership with Ukraine will include activities along the entire value chain of both primary and secondary critical raw materials and batteries, and in line with the objectives of the EU's Critical Raw Materials Action Plan, it will help diversify, strengthen and secure both sides' supply of critical raw materials, essential for achieving the green and digital transitions. The partnership will also be decisive in preserving global competitiveness and developing resilience of EU and Ukrainian industry.

The Memorandum of Understanding defines three key areas of work for the partnership:

The approximation of policy and regulatory mining frameworks, and notably the environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria across all activities;

The engagement of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine in the European Raw Materials Alliance and European Batteries Alliance with the aim of developing Ukrainian mineral resources and integrating them into global value chains in a socially responsible and sustainable way;

Collaboration in research and innovation along both raw materials and battery value chains through Horizon Europe.

The MoU was accompanied by an initial Roadmap containing planned activities for the first year of the Partnership (2021 - 2022):

Development of a low carbon strategy and roadmap to decarbonise raw material mining, extraction and processing in Ukraine,

Strengthening of sustainable and responsible sourcing and processing of raw materials and batteries in Ukraine by organising capacity building events for public administration and trainings for companies,

Creation of a ‘data room' – a repository with digital geological reports, and declassifying and re-assessing raw materials reserves using international standards,

Enhancement of the use of earth-observation programmes and remote sensing to strengthen new resource exploration and monitor environmental performance of mines during operations and post-closure,

Identification and implementation of joint-venture projects for EU and Ukrainian industrial and investment actors through the Business Investment Platforms of the European industrial alliances.

The MoU and Roadmap mobilise financial and investment instruments from the European Investment Bank and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development to support these actions.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
