RFC Ambrian

We're pleased to share an update on Hadean Energy, the venture company we founded in collaboration with CSIRO to commercialise their advances in tubular Solid Oxide Electrolysis (tSOE) technology. On 25 October, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and The Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer KCB KC MP, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom announced Hadean as a grant recipient under the Australia-UK Renewable Hydrogen Innovation Partnership Program. Under this program, the two Governments will support six cutting-edge projects focused on industrial decarbonisation.

We are pleased to share a significant progress update on our investee company, MRead Limited, and their innovative explosives detection technology. #demining #technology #innovation #landmines #humanitarianaid

Our Executive Director Cian Caffrey shared a few thoughts with Investor Insight on the decarbonisation challenge and how RFC Ambrian is collaborating with great scientists to help commercialise world-leading technologies in the space. Our thanks to Gerard McArtney and Peter Klinger for the informative article. #rfcambrian #decarbonisation #innovation #fundsmanagement #disruptivetechnologies

The global push towards decarbonisation is reshaping industries worldwide, with heavy industry at the forefront of this transformation. Sectors such as mining, chemicals and construction are under increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprints. For investors, this presents both significant opportunities and substantial risks. Conducting thorough due diligence is essential to navigate these complexities and make informed investment decisions. 🏭 In this article, we explore the key due diligence risks associated with investing in decarbonisation and heavy industry technologies. For RFC Ambrian, a deep understanding of these factors is crucial to navigating the complexities of decarbonising the heavy industries. By leveraging expertise and strategic insight, investors can contribute to the global effort to reduce carbon emissions while achieving sustainable returns. #decarbonization #heavyindustry #decarbonisationtechnologies #newventures #lowcarbon #lowcarboneconomy #duediligence

It is with great sadness that we share the news of Richard Adams' passing.   Richard became a part of the RFC Ambrian extended family around 25 years ago when he met Kim, who worked in our Denver office, during her visit to Australia. Richard, an Australian fund manager, married Kim and moved to Denver, embracing the mountains of Colorado.   Richard was a passionate advocate for commercialising groundbreaking science, bringing innovations from the laboratory into the industry. Working with NREL, he established the Wells Fargo Incubator (IN2) and the Shell Game Changer (GCxN) programs, both of which have achieved great success.   His enthusiasm for improving processes—often saying, "Mate, this is fantastic"— in part inspired us to pursue the commercialisation of science and led to us as a business to focusing on building ventures to bring great science to market.   In the year before COVID-19, Richard convinced NREL to partner with RFC Ambrian and CSIRO to establish incubator programs similar to those in the US. Unfortunately, this initiative stalled during the pandemic when we couldn't secure local funding partners.   However, in 2023, we successfully launched RFC Funds Management with a Venture Capital mandate to invest in deep tech, particularly decarbonisation. Richard graciously joined our investment committee, lending his expertise in cleantech and clean energy commercialisation.   We last saw Richard in Sydney in April, celebrating his 60th birthday and his twins Henry and Maddie's 21st birthdays on the harbour with family and friends. They were all fit, healthy, and happy.   We will deeply miss his wise counsel.   Our thoughts are with Kim, Maddie and Henry.

RFC Ambrian were pleased to attend the MiningNews.net Select Conference in Perth last week, which was co-located with the Future of Mining Conference. The events featured some of the best ‘under-the-radar’ resource companies focused on critical minerals, the gold sector, and some exciting emerging technologies in the resources space. Our team used the opportunity to connect directly with resources companies and engaged in some valuable one-on-one discussions. Thanks to all at MiningNewsSelect and Future of Mining for a great conference! #MiningNewsSelect #CriticalMinerals #GoldSector #MiningInvestment #RFCAmbrian #IndustryEvent #Networking #InvestmentOpportunities

In this issue of the Alchemist we delve back into the mists of time, all the way back to 2003... A heady year for sports, culture and business also saw the launch of the very first Alchemist report, which looked at the market capitalisation of the global mining industry versus the global market titans of the time. 20 and a bit years later, we decided to revisit the analysis to see what’s changed and if the key themes from 2003 still hold true. The ensuing years have seen some seismic shifts in the makeup of the global mining industry and some significant over- and under-performers among the large cap miners. In other ways, the more things change, the more they stay the same…  ✉️ If you'd like to get a copy of The Alchemist Issue 1, send us a message: https://lnkd.in/giuJAPqP #MarketCapitalisation #Mining #TheAlchemist #RFCAmbrian
