In this joint statement, the Prime Minister of Australia and the President of the United States commit to enhance bilateral cooperation by establishing climate and clean energy as a central pillar of the Australia-US Alliance.

Under the Compact, the two parties intend to:

Accelerate the expansion and diversification of end-to-end clean energy supply chains.

Promote responsible, sustainable, and stable supply of critical minerals.

Drive the development of emerging battery technologies.

Support the development of emerging markets for clean hydrogen and its derivatives in the respective countries and across the Indo-Pacific.

Australia and the US will share information to enable each country to coordinate the supply of critical minerals essential to the global energy transformation, identify risks and market distortions that impact on critical minerals markets and consider mitigation options, and cooperate in identifying innovative solutions, including standards and investment needed to deliver more responsible and efficient minerals mining and processing. Australia and the United States are also establishing the ministerial-level Australia-United States Taskforce on Critical Minerals (the Taskforce), to be led by principals from the U.S. National Security Council and Australia’s Department of Industry, Science and Resources.

Why Trump Can't Afford to Lose The Rare Earth Race

For years, the West has searched for a technological escape hatch from rare earths. Engineers have developed new motor designs, alternative magnet chemistries, and materials that reduce or even eliminate the need for some critical minerals. Every time China tightens export controls, those efforts receive another burst of attention. They're worth pursuing. But they don't answer the question manufacturers have to solve today. Production capacity has become the number one scarce asset. That realization is driving one of the most ambitious industrial…

LNG Canada Doubles Capacity as Asia Looks Beyond the Gulf

Last month, Shell (NYSE:SHEL), alongside Malaysia's PETRONAS, China's PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation and KOGAS, officially approved the Final Investment Decision (FID) for the LNG Canada Phase 2 expansion project, doubling the facility's capacity to 28 million tons per annum (mtpa) and reinforcing the country's potential as a significant long-term supplier to Asian markets. Together with Cedar LNG and Woodfibre, both currently under construction, Canada is expected to export 33 mtpa of LNG by the end of the current decade. According to…

Rising Crude Oil Imports Reduce China’s Need to Draw from Stocks

China has relied on its huge crude oil inventories since the Iran war hiked oil prices to above $100 per barrel. The world’s biggest crude importer has drawn from its 1.3-billion-barrel stash for most of the months after March as it slashed imports amid soaring prices. The stock draws, and the reduced imports in the spring and summer, have even kept benchmark crude oil prices in check despite the major disruption to flows from the Middle East, as China’s crude supply management was one of the key buffers the market has had since the…

EU’s Arctic Strategy Excludes Oil and Gas

The European Union will shun crude oil and natural gas produced from fields in the Arctic, recommending that these “stay in the ground” under its new Arctic strategy released this week. The reiteration of the EU’s stance on Arctic hydrocarbons comes amid a severe fuel crisis and soaring gas prices ahead of winter peak demand season. The update on the Arctic strategy of the bloc that has quite limited geographical exposure to the Arctic comes five years after the last one, as the Arctic draws increasing attention, notably from…

Electric Giants Say They Already Have the Tools to Fix the AI Power Crunch

The energy demand boom being driven by the artificial intelligence era is placing unprecedented strain on global energy infrastructure. Not only are the world’s energy production capacities – and especially clean energy production capacities – dwarfed by projected data center energy demand curves in coming years, the physical infrastructure needed to build and sustain never-before-seen rates of electrification and energy consumption growth is woefully underdeveloped. At present, the world’s energy grids and transmission…
