ew Zealand is charting the pathway toward a more renewable energy system with the launch of a national vision for hydrogen, Energy and Resources Minister Megan Woods announced in early September. “Reducing carbon emissions from our energy use is one of the key ways we can fight the long-term challenge of climate change. Today we are launching a Green Paper—A Vision for Hydrogen in New Zealand—that lays out the role hydrogen can play in New Zealand’s economy, and what we can do to accelerate its use,” Woods said. The hydrogen plan addresses a national transition from fossil fuels to hydrogen as well as an international economic opportunity. In cooperation with Japan, New Zealand already has initiatives in place such as a joint venture
between Ballance Agri-Nutrients Ltd. (New Zealand) and Hiringa Energy Limited (Japan) to produce hydrogen in Taranaki in New Zealand at the commercial level, and a partnership between Tuaropaki Trust and Japan’s multinational Obayashi Corporation to build a hydrogen production facility using geothermal electricity near Taupō. “Today’s launch … sits alongside the government’s decision to end new offshore oil and gas exploration, our investment in a National New Energy Development Centre in Taranaki, backing cutting-edge renewable energy technology, greater support for low emissions vehicles, and helping businesses to invest in low emissions industrial processing,” Woods said. The government seeks feedback from the community on the potential for
Report highlights Australia’s opportunity in critical minerals industry.gov.au

he Minister for Resources and Northern Australia Matthew Canavan has welcomed a new report that examines the market outlook for six critical minerals that hold significant potential for Australia: niobium, rare-earth elements, cobalt, antimony, magnesium, and tungsten. The Outlook for Selected Critical Minerals: Australia 2019 report comes at a time when critical minerals are of great interest because of their pivotal role in many technologies, growing consumer markets, and limited diversity in production and processing.
“The boom in electric vehicle, battery, and magnet manufacturing is expected to add even further strength to the growing demand for Australia’s critical minerals,” Canavan says. Canavan says the report detailed the market dynamics and consumption outlook for the six identified critical minerals. Australia is the largest rare-earth elements producer outside of China, with an infrastructure capable of being exploited to meet global demand, Canavan says. The country also has vast niobium deposits that can be developed
