The Critical Minerals Development Program (CMDP), previously known as the Critical Minerals Accelerator Initiative, provides funding to early and mid-stage projects that contribute to robust global supply chains, build sovereign capability in Australia and create high-paying regional jobs by bringing new critical minerals sources of supply online. The Critical Minerals Development Program is an Australian Government initiative running from 2022-23 to 2024-25, with a total funding pool of AUD 48.9 million. The programme aims to strengthen Australia's critical minerals sector, with grants ranging from AUD 1 million to 30 million, covering up to 50% of eligible project expenditure.

The CMDP targets critical minerals listed in Australia’s Critical Minerals Strategy. The CMDP will help projects overcome technical and market barriers by supporting a range of undertaken post-exploration and before final investment decision such as feasibility studies, engineering design work, pilot testing, and building demonstration plants to help proponents prove the quality of their product and secure contracts with customers.

The CMDP supports strategically significant projects at crucial points in development, setting Australia up as a critical minerals powerhouse. Grants will accelerate projects to market, attracting private sector finance and investment. Successful applicants can receive up to AUD 50 million but are required to contribute at least 50% of the cost themselves. In this program, an R&D hub was also created with AUD 50.5 million by funding three existing public institutions (CSIRO, ANSTO, and Geoscience Australia) to work together to support Australian intellectual property in critical minerals processing, progress international R&D collaboration, and connect projects to expertise.

Among the announced grant recipients (Tranche 2) , there was one notable recycling-focused project: Evolution Mining Limited received AUD 2,234,965 to support plans to retrieve cobalt from mine waste by treating tailings from Ernest Henry Operations.

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…
