    BHP en Woodside fuseren energiebedrijf
    Definitieve overeenkomst getekend.

    (ABM FN-Dow Jones) Het Australische mijnbouwbedrijf BHP Group en Woodside Petroleum hebben een bindende overeenkomst getekend voor de fusie van de olie- en aardgasactiviteiten van BHP met Woodside, waardoor één van de tien grootste energiebedrijven ter wereld ontstaat.

    Het fusiebedrijf zal aardolie en vloeibaar aardgas produceren en verwacht jaarlijkse synergievoordelen van meer dan 400 miljoen Amerikaanse dollar te kunnen realiseren.

    Woodside zal het aandelenkapitaal kopen van BHP Petroleum International in ruil voor nieuwe aandelen in Woodside, waardoor BHP een belang van 48 procent in het nieuwe Woodside zal krijgen. Deze nieuwe aandelen zullen als een dividend worden uitgekeerd aan aandeelhouders van BNP en blijven genoteerd aan de Australische aandelenbeurs ASX. Woodside werkt ook aan een notering aan de NYSE in New York.

    Op 17 augustus werd al een intentie uitgesproken tot de fusie.

    BHP Petroleum had in het afgelopen boekjaar een omzet van 3,9 miljard dollar en een EBITDA-resultaat van 2,3 miljard dollar.

    BHP is het grootste mijnbouwbedrijf ter wereld. Het bedrijf kondigde tegelijk met de energiefusie met Woodside aan zijn andere beursnoteringen tegen het licht te houden en die in Londen op te geven.

    Vale Bags Award for Innovative Use of Wind Propulsion in Shipping

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    23 Nov, 2021, 5:30 am

    Vale's project to create the world's first large ore carrier equipped with rotor sails won the Wind Propulsion Innovation Awards, presented by the International Windship Association in Glasgow, Scotland, at a side event during the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference. The organization, which encourages the global use of wind propulsion in commercial shipping, awarded Vale the prize in the category for companies that encourage the adoption of this type of technology through prototypes or commercial use - since May, the company's fleet of ships has a Guaibamax equipped with the rotor sails.

    In total, 84 nominations were submitted to a panel made up of members of the industry, academia, supporters of wind propulsion technology and people linked to energy and sustainability areas. Vale was the winner in one of the four categories opened to the public vote. According to the organizers, pioneering projects, innovative technologies, people and companies that are making a difference in advancing wind propulsion as an efficient, low-carbon and sustainable option for the commercial shipping fleet were recognized.

    The rotating sails are cylindrical rotors, four meters in diameter and 24 meters high - equivalent to a seven-story building. During operation, the five rotors rotate at different speeds, depending on the environmental and operational conditions of the ship, to create a difference in pressure in order to move the ship forward, based on a phenomenon known as the Magnus effect. Still in the testing phase, rotor sails can offer an efficiency gain of up to 8% and a consequent reduction of up to 3,400 tons of CO2 equivalent per ship per year. If the pilot proves to be efficient, it is estimated that at least 40% of the fleet will be able to use the technology, which would impact on almost 1.5% annual emissions reduction by Vale's iron ore shipping.

    Rio Tinto has become the sole owner of Diavik Diamond Mine in the Northwest Territories of Canada, continuing its leading role in the Canadian diamond industry. A transaction has been completed for Rio Tinto’s acquisition of the 40 per cent share held by Dominion Diamond Mines in Diavik, following the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta’s approval.

    With production at Diavik expected to end in 2025, its high-end, predominantly white gem quality diamonds with Canadian provenance continue to be in strong demand in all established and emerging consumer markets.

    Under the terms of the transaction, Rio Tinto has acquired all remaining Diavik assets held by Dominion, including unsold Diavik production and cash collateral held as security for Diavik’s future closure costs. In return, Rio Tinto has released Dominion and its lenders from all outstanding liabilities and obligations to fund the operations or closure of the joint venture.

    Rio Tinto has operated Diavik since production commenced in 2003. Located approximately 300 km north-east of Yellowknife, the mine employs over 1,100 employees, of which 17 per cent are Northern Indigenous people. In 2020, it produced 6.2 million carats of rough diamonds.

    The Political and Economic Landscape

    It has taken society a very long time to get here, but it appears that saving the planet is finally more than a buzz phrase used by environmental scientists and anti-climate change activists. Here in 2021, six years after the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, protecting the planet is no longer a nice idea that we really should get started on; it has become an urgent dilemma that demands immediate, significant, and ongoing action. The climate summit of 2015, known as COP2, led to a binding treaty that committed countries to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, compared to preindustrial levels, and to reach a “climate neutral world” by 2050. Since that time, and increasing in momentum each year, it has become good politics to support and engineer green solutions to the world’s climate issues. And whatever direction good politics takes, good business is never far behind (or ahead).

    One could argue that among the biggest corporate beneficiaries of this new greener business landscape is none other than Tesla, the dominant electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer in the world. With its publicly-stated mission to “accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy”, Elon Musk’s EV and battery storage company has become one of the flag bearers for not only a greener economy, but also a more progressive stock market, where ethical investing is finally becoming congruent with profitable investing.

    Solvay-gesel klopt op tafel bij Glencore

    Activistenfonds Bluebell Capital vraagt de Zwitserse mijnbouwgigant Glencore om afstand te doen van thermische steenkool. In een brief aan de grondstoffengigant zegt het fonds dat Glencore een cruciale rol speelt in de energietransitie met name via koper, kobalt en zink. 'Desalniettemin blijft Glencore een complex verhaal met een moeilijke bagage en dat weegt op de koers', aldus Bluebell in de brief.

    'Vanwege zijn activiteit in kolen is Glencore geen bedrijf waarin investeerders die duurzaamheid centraal stellen in hun beleggingsproces kunnen investeren', zegt dit fonds, dat vooral naam heeft gemaakt door zijn confrontatie met de Franse groep Danone, wat leidde tot de afzetting van zijn voormalige CEO Emmanuel Faber. Ook bij Solvay eist Bluebell het afzetten van topvrouw Ilham Kadri door vermeende mileunalatigheden nabij een Italiaanse sodafabriek van Solvay.

    Vale Producing Sustainable Sand from Tailings

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    07 Dec, 2021, 5:30 am

    Combining innovation, sustainability and benefits for society, Vale invested around 50 million Brazilian Reais in the development of sand produced from adaptation in the iron ore operation in the State of Minas Gerais. The sandy material, previously disposed in piles and dams, is processed and transformed into a product, following the same quality controls used in the production of iron ore. After seven years of research, Vale Sand comes as 100% legal and efficient alternative for the civil construction industry for use in cement, precast concrete, interlocked blocks, pavement, among others.

    The sand produced by Vale is considered by-product of the iron ore, considering that it is composed of material which was not used in the ore production process. The previous tailings now return for new treatment and become a product with high silica content and low iron content. As it is an essentially physical processing, the sand is not toxic, considering that it does not undergo change in the composition of the materials. Another positive point for the civil construction is that the chemical and granulometric uniformity of the product is high.

    Only in 2021, more than 250 thousand tons of the products have already been processed and destined for sale to companies or donation to city halls for use in concrete, mortar, precast, artifacts, cement and road pavement. So far, Vale has sold more than 1 million tons of sand to companies in Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, São Paulo and the Federal District. The deliveries will be made next year. There is perspective for even higher growth for 2023, reaching 2 million tons.

    This action promotes a circular economy within our units and reduces the impact of tailings disposal for the environment and the society, in addition to being a reliable alternative for the civil construction industry, where the demand for sand is high"

    Serbia Suspends Lithium Mine Plans of Rio Tinto

    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    21 Dec, 2021, 5:31 am

    The Guardian reported that local authorities in western Serbia have suspended a plan that would allow the mining company Rio Tinto to operate a lithium mine, after protests by environmentalists that shook the country’s populist leadership. The mining had been expected to start in the near future, but a town council in Loznica voted to suspend a regional development plan that permitted the excavation of lithium. The vote followed the suspension last week of two key laws in Serbia’s parliament that ecologists said would help the multinational firm start the project.

    Although Rio Tinto said it would adhere to all the latest environmental protection standards, organisers of the weekend protests said the lithium excavation could inflict lasting ecological damage to rivers and farmland in the region. For three consecutive weekends, thousands of protesters in Belgrade and elsewhere in Serbia blocked main roads and bridges to oppose Rio Tinto’s plan to launch mining operation in the country.

    Lithium, which is used in batteries for electric cars, is considered one of the most sought-after metals of the future as the world shifts to more renewable energy sources.

    Published on :
    21 Dec, 2021, 5:30 am

    In accordance with the commitments made last July, Rio Tinto QIT Madagascar Minerals and its partner Crossboundary Energy laid the foundation stone for the solar and wind power plant project that will supply the QMM ilmenite mine operations in Fort Dauphin, in southern Madagascar. The ceremony took place in the Ehoala Park area, in the presence of high dignitaries, including the Minister of Energy and Hydrocarbons, the Minister of Environment, the mayor of Fort-Dauphin and the Governor of the Anosy Region. The renewable energy project plays a key role in implementing QMM's 'sustainable mine' concept and enabling Rio Tinto operations in Madagascar to reach carbon neutrality by 2023.

    The renewable energy plant will be built and operated by CBE, a recognized independent power producer, with whom QMM has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement. The first unit, an 8 MW solar energy facility, will be operational in 2022. The 12 MW wind power facility will be completed in 2023. The project also includes an 8.25 MW lithium-ion battery energy storage system. Around 18,000 solar panels and four wind turbines will enable QMM to meet all of its electricity needs during peak periods and up to 60% of its annual electricity consumption, as well as to reduce its annual carbon dioxide emissions by about 26,000 tonnes. In addition, the renewable power supply will reduce QMM's heavy fuel oil purchases by up to 8,500 tonnes per year. With this plant, QMM will also replace the majority of the electricity it currently supplies to the town of Fort-Dauphin and its 80,000 community members with clean energy.

    QIT Madagascar Minerals, is a joint venture between Rio Tinto (80%) and the government of Madagascar (20%). It is located near Fort Dauphin in the Anosy region of south-eastern Madagascar, and primarily produces ilmenite which is a major source of titanium dioxide, predominantly used as a white pigment in products such as paints and paper. QMM also produces zirsill used in the manufacture of ceramic tiles and certain types of electronic displays and monazite, a rare earth element, used in renewable energy technologies like high-powered permanent magnets used in wind turbines and electric vehicles. QMM includes the deep-water Port d’Ehoala, where the raw material is shipped to the Rio Tinto Fer et Titane plant in Canada and processed into titanium dioxide.

    Mijngigant Rio Tinto koopt lithiummijn ter waarde van ruim $800 mln
    Van onze redacteur 21 dec   20:59

    Het Brits-Australische Rio Tinto, een van de grootste mijnbouwbedrijven ter wereld, koopt een Argentijnse lithiummijn voor $825 mln. Met de aankoop zet het bedrijf extra in op metalen die nodig zijn voor de productie van batterijen.

    De mijn ligt in de Zuid-Amerikaanse 'lithiumdriehoek': een gebied waar veel van dit soort mijnen liggen. Rio Tinto bereidt op dit moment ook de ontginning van een lithiummijn in Servië voor. Dat project kost de mijnbouwer zo'n $2,4 mrd.

    Doordat investeerders, bedrijven en overheden steeds meer inzetten op duurzaamheid, richten mijnbouwbedrijven zich meer en meer op de zogeheten grondstoffen van de toekomst. Hieronder vallen bijvoorbeeld lithium, koper en grondstoffen voor kunstmest. Lithium wordt gebruikt in lithium-ion-batterijen die onder andere in elektrische auto's te vinden zijn.
