Today, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador announced reserved Crown lands for North Atlantic’s new wind-to-hydrogen project as a part of our Green Energy Hub. We appreciate the Province’s continued support and openness to opportunities that advance our position in the clean energy transition. The North Atlantic Green Energy Hub will help stimulate economic growth and advance export-oriented projects in the green energy and low carbon sector in the Placentia Bay and Trinity Bay region. Leveraging one of NL’s most industrialized areas, this exciting initiative will: ✅ Develop, advance and execute green hydrogen projects and export the products they produce. ✅ Foster research and training opportunities that will be available for the participants in the green hydrogen industry. ✅ Act as a focal point for energy export. ✅ Serve as a catalyst for domestic hydrogen distribution and use.

Great news for Australia’s #hydrogen industry on Tuesday night. The Australian Federal Budget recognised Australia’s strengths to leverage its natural resources of sun, wind and land to produce green hydrogen.   The Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive and additional Hydrogen Headstart funding sends the right message to companies like bp which are advanced in the planning stages for these projects…. You can find out more about what our teams are up to here https://lnkd.in/dJTJdNRR   By helping to derisk massive projects in the short term, policy, including these budget measures, will encourage investment in large scale low carbon projects that will be essential to Australia’s energy future – providing regional development opportunities and strengthening Australia’s energy security.   It’s an exciting time for Australia’s energy transition as we get closer to unlocking clean energy supply chains and realising our renewable energy superpower.   #EnergyTransition

Join AFRY’s Australian market experts Joern Schwinge, Jonathan de la Viña, and Pui Mun Shum as they explore the opportunities and challenges of the Australian energy transition in a webinar hosted by Business Finland on 13th March at 8:30 EET / 17:30 AEDT. ✍️ Register here: https://lnkd.in/dNSegz7i The webinar will explore the following: 🔸 Recap the targets, challenges and work being undertaken for the NEM to accomplish an orderly transition. 🔸 AFRY’s view on the plausible impacts of the targets and future technologies on the NEM’s operations and prices. 🔸 The opportunities for the integration of the hydrogen economy into the Australian energy transition, particularly considering the role Australia can play in supporting the steel industry and green fuels. #makingfuture #energytransition #hydrogen #decarbonisation

Another positive step in support of the #energytransition with renewable hydrogen projects like H2Kwinana best placed to deliver meaningful jobs, environmental outcomes and economic contributions as we move towards #netzero

The Canadian government plans to allocate $8.5 million towards seven projects #cleantech projects in #Alberta that focus on #hydrogen #energy. Of this investment, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) will distribute $5 million among three chosen projects in the province through the Energy Innovation Programs Clean Fuels and Industrial Fuel Switching call for proposals. This initiative aims to speed up the advancement of technologies that can help reduce carbon emissions. https://lnkd.in/dR6EciVc

Clean energy investment to double fossil fuels in 2024. Global clean energy investment in 2024 is expected to reach $2 trillion, double the amount spent on fossil fuels, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

🌍 The global shift towards green energy is picking up speed! According to the International Energy Agency’s recent report “World Energy Investment 2024”, 2023 marked a pivotal year as investments in renewable power and grids surpassed those in fossil fuels for the first time.  💡 Nearly two dollars are now invested in clean energy for every dollar spent on fossil fuels. As a fully integrated renewable energy and ZERO CARBON LITHIUM™ company, we're thrilled to see these developments. It signifies a great milestone in the global transition to clean energy. Through our project in the Upper Rhine Valley, Germany, we provide renewable geothermal energy to local communities, helping to decarbonise Germany's energy supply as well as driving Europe's green mobility transition forward.  🚀 We’re committed to the change. The outlook is positive! 🌱🔋 For more details, read the full IEA report here: https://bit.ly/3YRgpf5   #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #EVtransition #Decarbonisation #Energytransition #IEA #Geothermalenergy #ERLG #batteries #ElectricVehicles #CRMA

With abundant natural resources, Queensland is perfectly placed to be a leading producer of renewable hydrogen 💧🍃 As the world transitions to a low carbon economy, renewable hydrogen has the potential to generate significant trade opportunities by 2030. More than 50 projects are underway in the regions including Gladstone, Townsville and Goondiwindi, set to diversify local economies and keep talent in the community. It's estimated that 10,000 jobs will be supported by the renewable hydrogen industry by 2040 (EY Australia). To seize this opportunity, the Queensland Government has invested more than $5 billion to facilitate industry development and create jobs in Queensland.

BG&E Resources (BGER) is proud to support Business Hunter’s inaugural Energy Transition Mini-Series Breakfast, which is being held in Newcastle on Tuesday 19 March.   Pursuing a theme of ‘Hydrogen in the Hunter’, this event will feature an important discussion about the energy transition in Newcastle and the surrounding Hunter region.   BGER is facilitating the panel discussion, which will drill down on the region’s plans to diversify and accelerate the development of hydrogen and renewables, as well as the myriad of other decarbonisation initiatives, and the vital role that ports play in our low-carbon future.   Many of the threads that will be explored will also be relevant for government, industry and financiers seeking to bring projects to market across Queensland, Gippsland, Whyalla and Bunbury, among others.   Thank you in advance to the thought leaders who are contributing to the panel discussion, including:   * Philip Holliday: Chief Executive Officer – Port Authority of New South Wales * Paul Hastie: General Manager, Hydrogen – Orica * Thomas Hansen: Project Director – Equinor Australia * Leigh Kennedy: General Manager – Australian Hydrogen Council * Kate Hartness: Director, ESG – BGER (Moderator).   Click on the link below to secure your ticket to attend. https://lnkd.in/gZncS-5V Image: Courtesy of Business Hunter.   #ESG #hydrogen #H2 #decarbonisation #energytransition #renewables #lowcarboneconomy Craig Bloxham Gavin Wearne Darrin Pearce Daniel Ausling Bob Hawes Alex Brennan Engineers Australia Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) Clean Energy Council

Proud of our Canada Power & Renewables team at AtkinsRéalis for being appointed by TESCanada H2 inc. to provide front end engineering and design services for their Projet Mauricie green hydrogen hub in Quebec. It’s an innovative renewable energy initiative to produce 70,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually. The project will reduce Quebec’s emissions by 800,000 tonnes CO2eq per year. Expected to be commissioned in 2028, it is one of the largest clean hydrogen projects in Canada. And it’s a perfect example of the purpose-driven work we engage in to #EngineerABetterFuture for our planet and its people. In fact, approximately half of our revenues as a company come from projects that contribute toward a sustainable future and carbon free economy.
