France-Germany-Italy Joint Communique on Critical Raw Materials
As part of a series of trilateral meetings designed to enhance co-operation on strategic priorities, the economic ministers of France, Germany and Italy convened to collaborate on the sustainable supply of critical raw materials. The Ministers issued this Joint Communique with the aim for deepening co-ordination on extraction and processing, as well as advancing the circular economy through recycling. The meeting, which was also attended by industry representatives, provided a platform for strategising on how to best provide support to mineral companies. The three governments pledged to:Set extraction, processing and recycling targets for each strategic raw materialReinforce…

Australia-Germany hydrogen supply chain projects
…technology is underway between Australia and Germany. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and German Federal Ministry of Education and Research will commit respectively AUD 50 million (from the AUD 565.8 million provided in the 2021-2022 Budget initiative for low emissions technology partnerships) and EUR 50 million to fund HyGATE, a new joint Hydrogen Innovation and Technology Incubator. ARENA takes a lead role in the HyGATE, supporting real-world pilot, trial, demonstration and research projects along the hydrogen supply chain. Australia aims at satisfying its own demand and export hydrogen to Germany to meet its increased demands in…

Switzerland
Switzerland has notably decoupled economic growth from energy use despite strong population growth. This trend should continue, and the energy efficiency first principle should be reflected in all climate and energy legislation. Reaching the 2050 net zero emissions target and addressing the growing winter electricity gap between demand and production requires an unprecedented volume of additional renewable generation capacity, especially wind and hydro. For this, the country needs to shorten the complex and extended administrative and legal permitting process. This will also help advancing investments in grid infrastructure to prepare for more decentralised and variable generation. Switzerland should also align…

Joint declaration of intent between Australia and Germany on a critical minerals value chain feasibility study
Australia and Germany signed a joint Declaration of Intent to work together to develop critical minerals value chains. The joint study will create new opportunities for critical minerals projects that support Australia and Germany to reach net zero commitments. The study will assess: Key raw and processed critical minerals products most crucial to the industrial needs of Germany;The most significant or commercially prospective geological resources and projects within Australia which can contribute to these value chains;The companies working to develop these resources, and relevant aspects of their projects;The most significant and commercially promising mining, refining and recycling…
