Rio Tinto partners with Government of Canada to decarbonize RTFT operations and boost critical minerals processing

Green Car Congress

New modules will be added to the existing plant, which uses an innovative process to extract high purity scandium oxide from the waste streams of titanium dioxide production, without the need for any additional mining. The C$30-35 million (US$22-26 million) project is expected to start producing scandium oxide in 2024.

ARENA awards A$22.1M to 16 projects to accelerate exporting renewable hydrogen

Green Car Congress

It is the first time ARENA had sought to fund research into the hydrogen energy supply chain. The early stage research projects cover a diverse range of renewable solutions, with at least one project from each point in the supply chain – production, hydrogen carrier and end use. UNSW Waste to Biomass to Renewable Hydrogen – $1,045,770.

Decarbonization will take decades, and in the case of large-scale installations like wind farms and solar farms, we will see NIMBY-style (Not In My Back Yard) opposition to siting. Wind and solar farms are alternatives to fossil fuel-fired power plants. That ended in 1984 when the North River sewage treatment plant opened.
