Powerhouse Energy says landmark deal with National Hydrogen of Australia is a game changer

Powerhouse Energy Group PLC

Powerhouse Energy Group PLC (AIM:PHE) CEO Paul Emmitt tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that a five-year framework agreement with National Hydrogen of Australia is a significant milestone for the company and an endorsement of its proprietary waste-to-energy technology. Emmitt said the two companies have collaborated on feasibility and engineering assessments over the past two and a half years, with intense due diligence conducted on the technology. This collaboration has led to the technology being shortlisted by a major Japanese entity, further validating Powerhouse Energy's solutions. The agreement, initially expected to cover projects in Australia, has expanded to include Hong Kong, Italy, and Switzerland, thanks to undisclosed partnering entities. This deal is notable for requiring no upfront funding from Powerhouse Energy; instead, it operates on a fully funded front-end engineering design model that transitions into a licensing and royalty agreement. This shift significantly reduces financial burdens on Powerhouse and secures its involvement throughout project development and execution phases. Under the agreement, Powerhouse will develop the entirety of the facilities for each project, from feedstock processing to hydrogen export, leveraging its intellectual property in sim gas control. This involves close collaboration with yet-to-be-selected EPC contractors and a guarantee of the output quality of sim gas from the processing kiln. Emmitt highlighted the partnership's potential to set new benchmarks in the hydrogen industry, emphasizing the importance of integrated waste processing and hydrogen distribution networks.

Metals One outlines strategic vision for critical metals supply at Black Schist Project in Finland

Metals One PLC

Metals One PLC (AIM:MET1) CEO Jonathan Owen joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with an update on the company's strategy for its Black Schist projects in Finland, aiming for economic extraction of assets. The goal is to develop a 200 million-tonne resource over the next 24 to 36 months, targeting a mine life of 20 years with an annual production of 20 million tonnes. Currently, Metals One has identified 20 million tonnes at one site (R1) and 16 to 24 million tonnes at another (P5), both offering significant expansion opportunities. The company is also exploring regionally, having recently pegged new ground for further development. Recent drilling programs have yielded encouraging results, including notable intersections of mineralized black schist, extending the mineralization further east. This has led to the acquisition of additional ground for future exploration. Metals One aims to quickly elevate the P5 target from an exploration target to a mineral resource, leveraging unassayed historical drill cores to potentially increase the resource size without additional drilling. The company has also identified new targets for exploration, with the K1 site scheduled for drilling in the coming months. The long-term vision is to become a supplier of critical metals for Europe's green transition, addressing the EU's structural deficit in the supply of critical minerals for battery production and other green technologies.

Navigating the North: A Look at Nordic Gambling Casino Laws in 2024

AM Europe

The Nordic countries - Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland - are known for their progressive approach to governance, and gambling laws are no exception. While each nation has its own unique framework, they share certain commonalities, making the region a fascinating case study for responsible gambling regulations. Let's delve into the current state of Nordic gambling laws in 2024: Similarities across the Nordics: State Monopoly Roots: Traditionally, all Nordic countries had state-run monopolies on gambling activities. While this is still largely true for land-based casinos and lotteries, online gambling has seen significant liberalization. Focus on Responsible Gambling: All Nordic countries prioritize responsible gambling practices. This includes measures like age verification, deposit limits, self-exclusion programs, and awareness campaigns. Licensing Systems: Each nation operates a licensing system for online gambling operators, ensuring compliance with regulations and responsible gambling standards. Taxation: Gambling activities are subject to taxation in all Nordic countries, generating revenue for the government. Individual Country Nuances: Denmark: Currently undergoing significant legislative changes, including a B2B licensing regime, expanded powers for the Danish Gambling Authority, and stricter measures against match-fixing. Finland: Maintains a state monopoly on most gambling activities, with limited exceptions for online operators. Norway: Has the strictest regulations, with only state-run Norsk Tipping offering legal gambling options. Sweden: Implemented a new Gambling Act in 2019, further details on utländskacasinomedbankid.net, opening up the online gambling market to licensed operators while emphasizing responsible gambling practices. Iceland: Offers state-run lotteries and sports betting, with limited online gambling options under strict regulations. Recent Developments: Sweden: In December 2023, a court ruled that a gambling operator must reimburse a customer's losses due to targeted marketing despite the customer's gambling addiction, highlighting the focus on responsible gambling enforcement. Denmark: Proposed changes include a new revenue-based fee structure for licenses and expanded data collection to combat money laundering and match-fixing. Looking Ahead: The Nordic gambling landscape is constantly evolving. With ongoing legislative changes and a focus on responsible gambling, these countries remain at the forefront of regulating this complex industry. As technology and consumer preferences continue to develop, it will be interesting to see how Nordic gambling laws adapt to ensure a safe and responsible environment for all stakeholders.
