Petrofac has begun a study on the Cauldron cement plant, which will focus on finding opportunities for capturing carbon dioxide. This study will be done through conducting a feasibility and technology selection. This feasibility study is currently very necessary, as at the moment, the facility currently emits more than 600,000 tons of carbon dioxide every year. This Co2 is emitted during the plant’s operations, through actions such as burning tyre chips, liquid solvent, solid recovered fuel (SRF), processed sewage pellets (PSP) and coal for fuel. This study will significantly help Aggregate to reach its aim of decarbonising fully by 2030. The article below talks about a study that will focus on opportunities for new techniques to be employed at a cement plant, to help the plant decarbonise. As cement is an industry with a very high carbon footprint, finding a way to decarbonise the plant and store the Co2 elsewhere, would be an excellent step forwards for the industry.

Green Iron, Green Steel, Green Hubs - South Australia HILT CRC CEO Jenny Selway said “There’s an opportunity both economically to move further down the value chain, but also a huge opportunity for global #decarbonisation as well.” - “It’s one way to embed #hydrogen in our exported products, compared to just exporting hydrogen itself,” Speaking with InDaily about the HILT CRC trial work and the role South Australia could play in the #decarbonisation of the steel making process and green iron , Hon Tom Koutsantonis MP said, “SA is an ideal location for such a trial – we have a unique combination of natural resources, #renewable energy and a skilled workforce – as well as the geographical space necessary to accommodate such a pilot plant at scale.” South Australia’s regions are also investigating the role they might play in a green iron and steel economy. At Port Pirie, the local council is evaluating the potential of making the region a green iron production hub, with Magnetite Mines. #greeniron #greenhydrogen #greenhub #DRI #HBI #greensteel #southaustralia PORT PIRIE REGIONAL COUNCIL, Department for Energy and Mining, South Australia, Department for Trade and Investment, Department of the Premier and Cabinet, Government of South Australia

Our collaboration with Jervois Global, a leading Australian cobalt company, is gaining momentum 🌟! Cobalt refinery basic engineering and BFS project is proceeding as planned and Jervois has now shortlisted two preferred locations for a cobalt refinery in the United States. Sites in Pennsylvania or Louisiana are being evaluated to determine the preferred location. Completion of site selection is an important milestone in the progress of the basic engineering and accompanying BFS for cobalt refinery in the United States, led by AFRY, and the work is expected to be completed by mid-2024. 🔋 Why Cobalt Matters: Cobalt is a critical metal in many technologies and to meet the increased demand, especially in the battery sector, Jervois Global plans to build a cobalt refinery in the U.S., where a refinery site selection process is on-going. The United States has no operating cobalt refineries today. Read more: https://lnkd.in/drdY_8sb Read Jervois release: https://lnkd.in/gapxdeXt

Big news coming out of Gladstone today! Alpha HPA has successfully secured $400 million in financing support from the Australian Government to propel our Gladstone-based HPA First Project into one of the world's largest single-site ultra-high-purity alumina refineries. The specifics are impressive: we’ve received conditional approval for $320 million in project loan facilities alongside an $80 million cost overrun facility. This funding boost will empower the company to ramp up full-scale production to over 10,000 tonnes of high-purity aluminium products annually, creating 120 ongoing local jobs in addition to the 300 jobs generated during the construction phase. This financing collaboration is made possible through Australian Government financing agencies Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (NAIF) and Export Finance Australia (EFA), under the auspices of the Australian Government’s $4 billion Critical Minerals Facility (administered by EFA) and EFA’s Commercial Account. It's a ringing endorsement of Alpha HPA's technology and strategic vision. The financing will be channelled into the construction of Stage 2 of the HPA First Project, enhancing our operational capacity to meet global demands. This expansion builds upon the success of Stage 1 and underscores Alpha HPA's commitment to sustainable practices with nearly zero waste, close to 100% reagent recycling, 100% renewable energy usage, and a 70% reduction in carbon emissions compared to traditional refining methods. This achievement wouldn't be possible without the dedication and hard work of each member of our team. Their contributions are invaluable as we continue to lead in critical minerals processing and support the growth of cleaner, greener industries.

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 We're thrilled to share that our research project in Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) recent Iron and Steel R&D Round has secured funding to accelerate its impact on reducing emissions in Australia’s iron and steel supply chain. Led by HILT CRC, this ARENA project leverages our current project RP1.011 The upgrading of iron ore for DRI production using products from seawater RO brines, led by Professor Jacques Eksteen and Dr Lina Hockaday from Curtin University. We’d also like to acknowledge additional funding support from the Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia (MRIWA) and Curtin University for this project, demonstrating our shared commitment to advancing research and innovation on behalf of our iron and steel industry partners. Together, we're developing and de-risking technologies that will create a low-carbon heavy industry sector.

Sad news for Townsville and the lithium-ion and electric vehicle battery market in NQ: "Queensland Pacific Metals, the company behind a $2.1bn battery metals refinery project at the Lansdown Eco Industrial precinct, has announced it was shifting its focus away from Townsville, towards another project in Moranbah. Queensland Pacific Metals’ Townsville Energy Chemicals Hub (TECH) Project was intended to be a carbon-negative battery and critical minerals refinery, producing nickel, cobalt and high purity alumina for lithium-ion and electric vehicle batteries, and high-grade hematite for steel." https://lnkd.in/gsTSNE2m

The federal government is pledging to contribute $65 million towards the planning process for a major desalination and water transport project in the Upper Spencer Gulf as part of the Future Made in Australia initiative. It brings the total pre-construction funds for the Northern Water Supply Project to $230m, which includes funds from the state government and BHP. The project includes plans for a seawater desalination plant at Cape Hardy, capable of processing 260 megalitres a day, and a 600-kilometre pipeline to transport the treated water to Whyalla and outback mining sites such as Carapateena and Roxby Downs. At the moment mining operations in the far north draw on water from the Great Artesian Basin. The hydrogen power station proposed for Whyalla would need a reliable and abundant supply of water to convert into hydrogen for power generation.
