As part of the 12 billion GBP Ten Point Plan for an industrial revolution towards a greener economy, the UK Prime Minister has established:

Point 2: Low Carbon Hydrogen Technology

The UK is aiming for 5GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030, to create hydrogen-renewable energy-CCUS clusters to advance technological development, and pilot a "Hydrogen Neighbourhood" for 100% hydrogen end-use and scale up to an entire town by 2030.

This will be supported by a 240 million GBP Net Zero Hydrogen Fund, and developing a hydrogen supplier business models and revenue mechanism for increased involvement and investments from the private sector. Up to 2030, private sector investment is expected to be 4 billion GBP, and projects should save 41 MtCo2e between 2023-2032, 9% of 2018 UK emissions. This could support for up to 8000 jobs by 2030, potentially unlocking up to 100 000 jobs by 2050 in a high hydrogen net zero scenario.

Industry pilots will start in 2023 to allow up to 20% blending of hydrogen into the gas distribution grid of all homes on the gas grid and district heating trials. There is an interim target for 1 GW of Hydrogen production capacity and a village-scale hydrogen heating trial in 2025.

U.S. Backs Madagascar’s Rare Earths Project

The Trump administration has opened another front in the global rare earths race, backing a new project in Madagascar as Washington accelerates efforts to break China’s grip on the critical minerals that power everything from advanced weapons and AI infrastructure to oil refining and electric vehicles. The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has committed up to $4.84 million to Harena Rare Earths’ (OTCQB: CRMNF) Ampasindava project in northern Madagascar. The funding will support pilot plant operations, metallurgical…

Low Gas Storage and Diesel Shortages Threaten Europe’s Winter Supply

Tightening global supply of oil and gas is putting Europe on course for a difficult winter this year due to the continent’s significant dependence on energy imports, despite energy transition ambitions. Gas in storage is much lower than it should be, and a diesel crunch is threatening fuel oil supply security for the heating season. It could turn into a perfect storm. The first warning signs emerged as early as March, as the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran crippled Qatar’s LNG export infrastructure, forcing the Gulf state to declare…

Cooling Emissions Are Set to Triple by 2050 as Heat Waves Intensify

Air conditioning has become a hot-button geopolitical issue as rising temperatures create dangerous conditions around the globe. Air-conditioning units are increasingly being considered as “essential infrastructure” as summer heat waves turn into a deadly and increasingly regular occurrence. But while air conditioning inarguably saves lives, in the short term, they are simultaneously contributing to global warming and distracting from other, more important approaches to managing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.…
