Vulcan has secured €40 million (~A$65 million) in strategic investments by industry leaders CIMIC Group Limited Group and Hancock Prospecting. Today’s announcement comes at an exciting time as we make significant headway towards developing and executing Phase One of our integrated renewable energy and ZERO CARBON LITHIUM™ Project. This substantial financial backing provides a strong vote of confidence in Vulcan and our vision to produce Europe’s first sustainable battery-grade lithium products. #DELIVERING Onwards! 🚀 Read our ASX release here: https://bit.ly/3yHC92j Read our German media release here: https://bit.ly/4c5jJXI #RenewableEnergy #ZeroCarbonLithium #Sustainability #Innovation #ZEROCARBON #LITHIUM™ #Project #Energytransition #Mobilitytransition #Geothermalenergy #ERLG #SustainabilityLeadership #cleanenergyfuture #batteries #ElectricVehicles #Directlithiumextraction

It is no secret that former Woodside Energy CEO Peter Coleman, and other senior ex-Woodside executives, are trying their hands at the emerging plays for natural #hydrogen and #helium, in #Australia. However, unlike other players shouting from the rooftops, the all-star team at H2EX, has been quietly putting together a compelling package to attack the sector after partnering with global engineering giant Black & Veatch. Announced on Monday, the partnership will see H2EX and Black & Veatch together study the extraction of natural hydrogen and helium. It also covers concept design for well and surface production facilities in South Australia. Crucially, the study into extraction solutions could provide a pathway to drill and extract the lowest-cost hydrogen, which might be up to 75% more cost-effective than manufacturing hydrogen, noted H2EX. The news is timely, and also kind of ironic given the Woodside Energy connections, after Energy News' Slugcatcher column recently highlighted that gold hydrogen could be the perfect opportunity to rejuvenate Woodside Energy.

Global Rig Count Update: The worldwide active rig count hit a low of 1,675 in May 2024 but has shown steady growth, reaching 1,751 in September. This upward trend signals growing confidence and momentum in the energy sector, reflecting renewed exploration and production efforts across the globe.  As energy demands rise, it's crucial for the industry to continue innovating and adapting to ensure sustainable growth. #EnergySector #OilAndGas #RigCount #EnergyGrowth #Sustainability #GlobalTrends

True collaboration is often touted but rarely achieved. I like to think that our work with IGO Ltd and ABB is a great example of how the right intent and people can accelerate learning and deliver valuable insights. I'm really looking forward to Chris Carr's talk and sharing some of our findings more broadly with industry. Perenti #electrification #miningtechnology #mininginnovation

px Group plans growth with green #hydrogen pioneer in Norway UK #gas infrastructure manager px Group has boosted its #hydrogen credentials by confirming a partnership with a pioneering production plant developer in Norway. The px Group has forged an alliance with Hydrogen Solutions (HYDS) to develop, build and operate green #hydrogen plants in the Nordics. HYDS, which is backed by Norwegian utilities Dalane Energi and SKLkonsern along with private investors, has already built two green hydrogen production facilities. The first was the 1MW plant at Stord and another, Kaupanes Hydrogen, in Egersund which launched in February in Norway’s largest fishing port. Geoff Holmes, CEO of px Group said the tie up would meet demand for an “#engineering and operating provider specialising in #hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives”, first in the Nordic region then further afield. UK firm developing #hydrogen in Europe The alliance is the second strategic development in the hydrogen space for px Group in as many months. In April, the Stockton-on-Tees based firm acquired a majority stake in German hydrogen #engineering company, LIFTE H2. The px Group is backed by private equity firm Ara Partners and runs North Sea #oil and #gas infrastructure assets including the St Fergus and Teesside #gas facilities on behalf of North Sea Midstream Partners. It also owns and operates the Saltend Chemicals Park on the Humber. Geoff Holmes, CEO of px Group, said: “There is an imminent need for an integrated #engineering and operating provider specialising in hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives, specifically in the Nordic region. “We are now looking forward to taking on this role together with HYDS whilst also exploring further decarbonisation partnerships and development opportunities throughout the region.” Thor Henrik W Hagen, CEO of HYDS - Hydrogen Solutions added: “We have already co-operated for more than a year, during which we have noticed a set of common values, especially the joint focus on safety. “Through our experience from developing, building and operating #hydrogen production plants we foresee the need to secure capacity to handle balance of plant of our own projects. “Additionally we realise the significance of this and the potential that gives us to develop, build and operate also for others, both within our countries and internationally.”

www.ecossaus.com has gone live with https://lnkd.in/gqFz23sY, Australia's premier CSF platform. With the CSIRO forecasting the need for 5 million tonnes of hydrogen storage capacity in Australia to successfully transition to the New Hydrogen Economy and underscoring that salt cavern storage is the most cost effective solution to mega scale hydrogen storage we are in pole position to capture a big slice of what promises to be an AU$60 billion pa hydrogen salt cavern storage market. With over 10,000 km2 of granted exploration leases overlying extensive salt layers and salt diapirs ECOSSAUS has a major first mover advantage and is also planning major green hydrogen production and high grade salt sales to offset capital costs of project development. https://lnkd.in/gPBt_Pze

Today, Vulcan released its 2023 Annual Reporting Suite. During 2023, Vulcan transitioned to being execution ready to build the next phase of growth. We stand at an exciting juncture as a company poised and prepared to deliver Phase One of our ZERO CARBON LITHIUM™ Project and, in doing so, to decarbonise two traditionally carbon-intensive industries: Energy and battery raw materials. Our integrated renewable energy and ZERO CARBON LITHIUM™ Project has inherent commercial and technical advantages, making us well-placed for the coming year. Over the next 12 months, Vulcan will be focused on: • Completing the financing of Phase One of the ZERO CARBON LITHIUM™ Project and moving into its execution and construction. • Progressing the pipeline of future renewable energy and lithium production phases throughout the Upper Rhine Valley. • Progressing the global deployment strategy of our lithium production technology.
