JOHANNESBURG, Nov 8 (Reuters) – Fortescue Metals executive chairman Andrew Forrest on Tuesday said his charitable foundation is in favour of a pause on seabed mining, the first time a prominent mining executive has spoken out against the nascent industry.

Forrest said the Minderoo Foundation, which he and his wife Nicola fund with the dividends they get from Fortescue, will back a pause until there’s sufficient evidence that damage to ocean environments can be prevented.

Seabed mining would involve vacuuming up potato-sized rocks rich in battery metals that blanket vast swathes of the sea floor at depths of 4-6 kilometres, and are especially abundant in the north Pacific Ocean. 

Mining the seabed in areas outside national jurisdiction cannot begin until

Hydrogen

The EU's hydrogen strategy explores the potential for renewable hydrogen to help decarbonise the EU in a cost-effective way.

 
PAGE CONTENTS

Hydrogen accounts for less than 2% of Europe’s present energy consumption and is primarily used to produce chemical products, such as plastics and fertilisers. 96% of this hydrogen production is through natural gas, resulting in significant amounts of CO2 emissions.

Renewable hydrogen can be obtained via electrolysis using renewable electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. It will play a key role in decarbonising sectors where other alternatives might be unfeasible or more expensive. It can be used to replace fossil-based hydrogen for transport and

El proyecto supondrá la creación de dos centros de producción en Galicia y Andalucía

Maersk ha elegido España como localización estratégica para desarrollar un proyecto con el que pretende producir su propio carburante verde y colocarse a la vanguardia del reto de la descarbonización que debe abordar el sector marítimo, hasta ahora el más retrasado en esta tendencia.

Maersk es la segunda mayor naviera del mundo, según el ranking de la consultora y analista de datos marítimos Alphaliner. Cuenta con 750 buques, 100.000 empleados 120 países y el 20% de la cuota de mercado en el transporte internacional. La compañía lleva meses trabajando con el Gobierno español para contrastar que España es un emplazamiento estratégico para producir e-metanol.

Europe’s lawmakers adopted on Wednesday their position on draft EU rules on the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels in maritime transport (FuelEU Maritime) with a 2% mandate by 2030. 

The European Parliament is pressing the maritime sector to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships by 2% as of 2025, 20% as of 2035 and 80% as of 2050 compared to 2020 level. The European Commission had proposed cuts of 13% by 2035 and 75% by 2050.

This would apply to ships above 5,000 gross tonnage, to all energy used on board in or between EU ports, and to 50% of energy used on voyages where the departure or arrival port is outside of the
