Launched 22 April 2021, the framework was set up to develop and streamline the sustainable management of the mineral industry to achieve economic growth, with the goal of making the industry a new source of wealth for Malaysia in 10 years, especially for strategic minerals. It classifies five minerals as strategic: (1) non-radioactive rare earth elements; (2) bauxite; (3) tin ore; (4) silica sand; and (5) kaolin.

The framework provides inclusive planning to develop the mineral industry comprehensively and in an integrated manner by transforming the upstream and downstream value chain. It lists eight strategic targets in the following areas: (1) Contribution to economic growth; (2) Sustainable Activity Practices in line with the Sustainable Development Goals; (3) Governance Structure; (4) Mineral Trade Balance; (5) Investment; (6) Inventory of Mineral Resources; (7) Employment Opportunities; and (8) Technology.

To implement these targets, the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources is tasked to ensure the targets are reached by developing an approach based on five core areas: governance and legislation, mineral industry value chain development, mineral resources mapping and inventory, technology and innovation as well as human capital development.

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

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…
