On 20 October 2025, President Donald J. Trump and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese signed the United States–Australia Framework for Securing Supply in the Mining and Processing of Critical Minerals and Rare Earths to strengthen bilateral cooperation in building resilient and diversified supply chains for materials essential to defence and advanced technologies. Key provisions include:

Securing Supply: Joint efforts will be undertaken to ensure security of supply, including by leveraging the United States’ industrial stockpiling and Australia’s Critical Mineral Strategic Reserve

Investment: The two countries have committed to mobilise financial support (private and public) for capital and operational expenditures related to mining and processing. Australia and the US will jointly identify projects of interest and will work together to develop new or bespoke mechanisms to strengthen critical mineral supply chains. Both countries have committed to disburse at least 1 billion in financing for selected projects within six months of the arrangement (i.e., March 2026).

Permitting: Each country is taking measures to simplify permitting timelines and processes within its jurisdiction.

Price Mechanisms: The two countries will work together to adopt standards-based systems that allow participants to trade freely and within a pricing framework (including through the use of price floors and similar measures).

Recycling: The two countries commit to investing in recycling technology and managing scrap in a manner that supports diversification.

Asset Sales: The United States and Australia will work together to strengthen or create legal authorities that allow for the review or deterrence of critical mineral asset sales on national security grounds.

Geological Mapping: The two countries will conduct cooperative geological mapping initiatives in the US and Australia.

High-Level Cooperation: A rapid response mechanism, composed of the US Secretary of Energy and the Australian Minister for Resources, has been created to identify vulnerabilities and accelerate delivery of processed minerals under the framework. A Mining, Minerals and Metals Investment Ministerial will also be convened within 180 days of the arrangement to promote investment and coordinate efforts.

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…
