📢 Big News for Carbon Capture! The Iowa Utilities Board has officially approved Summit Carbon Solutions' CO2 pipeline project. This 688-mile pipeline will capture and store 12 million tonnes of CO2 annually, marking a significant step in carbon reduction efforts. 🌍 After 34 months of thorough review and public input, the project met the requirements for public convenience and necessity under Iowa law. With partnerships across five states and 57 ethanol plants, this project is poised to make a major impact in the fight against climate change. https://lnkd.in/duwsvQxW #VVCResources #CarbonCapture #Sustainability #Iowa #SummitCarbonSolutions #CleanEnergy #CO2Reduction

🔴 More uncertainty in Helium 🟠 Messer Americas has taken legal action to ensure continued access to the Federal Helium System, highlighting the potential disruption to key industries if helium supplies are cut off. As market uncertainties rise, this could drive contract prices up, which is beneficial for companies like VVC Resources and Proton Green, both of whom are positioned with helium and natural gas projects in their portfolios. The stability of the helium market is critical for industries such as healthcare, technology, and aerospace, making these developments important to watch. https://lnkd.in/gbVXn_-Q #Helium #NaturalGas #EnergyMarket #VVCResources #ProtonGreen #IndustrialGas

🌍 VVC Resources is excited to be participating in the Nashville CO2 Summit, engaging in discussions on food and beverage carbonization, managing the unintended consequences of CO2, decarbonization, and CO2 storage. VVC holds nearly 10% of Proton Green. Proton Green is initiating production of food and beverage CO2 and helium from its wholly owned St. Johns Field, a 170,500-acre property in Arizona with an impressive 33 billion cubic feet helium reservoir, a 9 trillion cubic feet CO2 reservoir, and a basin capable of storing 1 billion metric tons of CO2. Proton Green continues to build its predictable revenue stream through strategic offtake partners with fixed-price agreements in both food and beverage CO2 and helium. Exciting developments for a sustainable future! #CO2Summit #FoodAndBeverageCarbonization #HeliumProduction #VVCResources

🌍 Visualized: The EV Mineral Shortage 🌍 As the global shift toward electric vehicles accelerates, the demand for critical minerals like lithium, nickel, and cobalt is skyrocketing. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), these minerals are expected to see demand increases of up to 80% by 2030. But with existing supply chains heavily concentrated in just a few countries, are we prepared for the mineral supply challenges ahead? 🚗 Did you know EVs require up to six times more minerals than conventional cars? With many nations aiming to go all-electric by 2035 or 2040, the question remains: will we have enough minerals to meet this demand? From the geopolitical concentration of resources to environmental constraints, several factors could impact the availability of these critical minerals. Recycling offers some relief but won't meet the surging demand until the 2030s. 🔍 Let's dive into how mineral constraints might shape the future of EVs. 📊 https://lnkd.in/dU-SsMbF #VVCResources #EV #ElectricVehicles #Minerals #Sustainability #Mining #SupplyChain #EnergyTransition #GreenEnergy

The U.S. Department of Energy has just announced a significant $52.5 million investment to accelerate the development of carbon dioxide removal technologies. 🌍 This funding, part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, aims to drive innovation in direct air capture, helping us reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. With the Commercial Direct Air Capture Pilot Prize now accepting applications, this is a critical step forward in advancing climate solutions, creating jobs, and supporting the communities that host clean energy projects.

🌍 Visualizing All the Known Copper in the World 🧲 Copper plays a crucial role in our modern economy, being integral to everything from smartphones and cars to homes and hospitals. With the growing emphasis on renewable energy, its importance is set to rise even further. However, have we ever paused to think about where this essential metal comes from or its environmental impact? As our world strives to balance material needs with sustainability, understanding our resource availability is vital. Trilogy Metals’ graphic outlines all the copper ever mined and the known resources that still exist. Did you know that since 1995, mined copper production has risen by 104%? And Chile, Peru, and China account for almost half of the world’s current copper production! With the Copper Alliance projecting a 50% increase in demand over the next 20 years, questions about copper’s availability become more pressing. Fortunately, copper is 100% recyclable, and nearly all of the 700 million metric tons mined in history are still in circulation. This highlights the importance of recycling and discovering new reserves. In a world of finite resources, being informed is the first step towards sustainability. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/drYkfv_5 #VVCResources #Copper #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #Mining #Resources

Lithium Consumption Has Nearly Quadrupled Since 2010! Lithium's critical role in clean energy technologies has driven an almost four-fold increase in global demand since 2010. Once primarily used in ceramics and glass, lithium is now indispensable for batteries powering electronic devices, EVs, and energy storage systems. The EV boom has transformed lithium consumption, with batteries now accounting for 74% of global usage. As EV adoption grows and major automakers roll out new models, lithium demand is set to surge even further. Discover the full breakdown of lithium consumption and its future outlook: https://lnkd.in/d4Wi4y-G #VVCResources #Lithium #CleanEnergy #EVs #SustainableTech #BatteryRevolution
