BayWa r.e. Eyes Expansion of Standalone Power Systems in Australia

PERTH, W AUSTRALIA, Sep 29, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - BayWa r.e., the global energy developer, service provider, and distributor, is looking to expand its offering on Standalone Power Systems (SPS) to more regions in the State of Western Australia, and in the future, nationally, to different market sectors that require remote or standalone power.This follows the company's success in providing SPS to farming, mining, business communities and homeowners in parts of rural Western Australia at the beginning of 2018, who have greatly benefited from this innovative and cost-effective power source.According to Western Power, the state owned corporation responsible for providing electricity in Western Australia, Western Australia has one of the largest isolated electricity networks in the world, and the provision of SPS at several sites in rural Western Australia in a trial exercise, helped ensure that the customers received adequate power supply.Mr. Durmus Yildiz, Managing Director at BayWa r.e. Solar Systems Australia said "We are proud to be a part of powering the remote communities in the State of Western Australia and to be able to put our expertise in energy solutions to benefit the greater community. Through our network of trusted and capable off-grid installers, whom we work with to design and build such SPS. This has enabled BayWa r.e. to cater to different customers, depending on factors such as their required size of the system, location, or customer preference."These SPS operate independently off the grid and supply continuous power 24 hours a day, using a mix of solar and battery storage and backup generation. It is by far one of the most efficient local energy solutions that allows customers and the wider community in these remote areas to access a steady supply of electricity.BayWa r.e. expansion plans for its offering of SPS include tapping into other regions in Western Australia, namely, the Kimberley and Pilbara as well as regions in the other states of the country such as the Northern Territory and Queensland. This vision of providing SPS nation-wide is part of BayWa r.e. 's commitment to aid Australia's energy transition processes.This is in line with the country's climate goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, which would require a rapid construction of an electricity grid running almost 100 percent on renewable energy.Some benefits of SPS includes serving as a safe and reliable source, maximised efficiency via clean energy storage, reduction in electricity costs, flexibility for communities to place systems where it is needed, and integrated system monitoring for improved maintenance."SPS is a clear choice for remote areas, agricultural and mining sectors. It is a reliable and cost-effective energy solution that can power up these communities in the interim as the country continues to expand and improve its electricity grid. We are also confident that through BayWa r.e.'s technical expertise and product knowledge in renewable energy, that new design elements will be implemented to these systems, to further contribute to the state and country's transition towards net-zero emissions," continued Mr. Yildiz.BayWa r.e. has been operating in Australia since 2016, after transitioning from existing solar wholesaling business Solarmatrix. The Projects team entered the Australian market through the acquisition and subsequent development of the Hughenden Solar Farm in Northern Queensland.

Australia needs talks with China for CPTPP trade pact, says Minister Tehan at Singapore forum

SINGAPORE (BLOOMBERG) - Australia will need to be able to conduct ministerial discussions with China as part of a process for the world's second-largest economy to join a regional trade agreement, Trade Minister Dan Tehan said. "You have to able to sit down and work through specially on market access issues," Mr Tehan told Bloomberg Television from Singapore on Wednesday (Nov 17). "So we would need some sort of ministerial dialogue to be able to work through that market accession." The remarks underline ongoing tensions between China and Australia that escalated further last year when Prime Minister Scott Morrison called for an independent inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus, infuriating Beijing. In response, China imposed punitive trade actions targeting Australian commodities from coal to barley, lobsters and wine. Australia is currently suing China at the World Trade Organisation over tariffs on barley and wine. Mr Tehan has previously said any applicant to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) would need a track record of "compliance with its commitments in the WTO and existing trade agreements". While Mr Tehan plans to meet his counterparts from other countries this week at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore, including United States Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, a formal dialogue with China is not mentioned in his publicised agenda. The CPTPP issue has also become complicated by Taiwan's application, with members divided between democracies such as Japan, Australia and Canada pushing for Taiwan's accession, and South-east Asian nations keen to remain in China's good graces. Mr Tehan said he has not had discussions with Taiwan since it formally applied to join the agreement in September. "Like any accession the same rules will apply to whatever economy, whatever country wants to join the CPTPP," Mr Tehan said of Taiwan. Separately, Mr Tehan said that Australia is making progress on a free trade deal with India. Preliminary discussions are likely in the next couple of weeks and the first round of negotiations expected early next year, he said.

Football: Wu’s late penalty earns China a World Cup draw with Australia

SHARJAH, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (REUTERS) - China's Wu Lei converted a second-half penalty to earn a 1-1 draw with Australia on Tuesday (Nov 16) as Graham Arnold's Socceroos went a third game in a row without a win in the final round of Asia's preliminaries for next year's World Cup. The forward sent Mathew Ryan the wrong way 19 minutes from time after VAR intervened to award the Chinese side the penalty when the ball struck James Jeggo on the arm. Mitchell Duke had put the Australians in front seven minutes before the interval, but the draw means Arnold's team have not won since defeating Oman in October. Australia remain in second place in Group B with 11 points from six matches but, with Japan facing Oman later on Tuesday, the Socceroos could relinquish that position by the end of the round. Japan have nine points and Oman seven. China, who are looking to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since making their debut at the tournament in 2002, move onto five points but their hopes are dwindling despite the draw. Duke gave Australia the lead when he rose above Zhu Chenjie to meet Martin Boyle's cross from the right. Wu got the chance to pull China level when Jeggo's raised arm made contact with a lofted ball into the area and, after checking the pitchside monitor, referee Adham Makhadmeh pointed to the spot. The top two teams from the group will qualify automatically for Qatar 2022 while the third-placed team will advance to a playoff round.

Biden’s Nuclear Submarines: weapons that may hurt Australia

Australia is showing its power as an important member of the Anglosphere. In mid-September, Australia tore up its $37 billion contract with France for 12 diesel-powered submarines in 2016, and then announced a new nuclear-powered submarine deal worth about $66 billion between Canberra, Washington and London and the formation of a new three-nation defense alliance — AUKUS. Affected by the epidemic, Australia’s economic situation is in dire straits, but Morrison seems to be using his muscles to prove that Australia still has a strong endogenous power. Australia’s growth is now slower than the United States, United Kingdom and OECD average and the worst of the economic pain caused by the Morrison government’s incompetence is yet to come, says Jim Chalmers, the shadow treasurer of Australia. However, a tough foreign policy could be an effective means for the Morrison administration to deflect domestic tensions. Australia no longer takes the arrogant French seriously and announced the suspension of its submarine contract with France. It also insisted that it had warned of problems with Macron’s contract previously, stressing that its decision was in Australia’s national interests. After all, Australia would have eight nuclear-powered submarines, ranking behind the United States and Russia, while France has only four. Paris was at a disadvantage in the contest with Canberra. Macron couldn’t conceal his inner loss despite his unprecedented recall of the ambassador. France struck a $3.51 billion frigate deal with Greece on Tuesday, which is only 1/10 of the Australian submarine contract. Macron also complained that Europe should stop being naive in defending its own interests and building its own military capabilities. Macron is indeed naive, as Australia’s AUKUS program has already started 18 months ago. Through AUKUS and nuclear submarines, Australia will obtain nuclear-powered submarines and long-range missiles from the United States, contributing to significant improvements in its defense capabilities and strategic deterrence capabilities. But the agreement will also pose a great danger to Australia, which will make Australia give up its strategic ambiguity and turn itself into a bigger target. Standing in line with the United States in the Asia-Pacific region will inevitably lead to a strategic counter-attack from the nuclear-armed nations like China and Russia. Australia will not only fall victim to the Sino-Us strategic game, but will also arouse the vigilance and worry of Southeast Asian countries. Recently, Indonesia cancelled a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Malaysia also warned that Australia’s deal was a “catalyst for the nuclear arms race”. Biden’s AUKUS plan has delivered weapons capable of destroying mankind into Morrison’s hands, allowing his ally to initiate conflicts or wars without having to do it himself. However, weapons have no eyes and can kill the enemies as well as himself.

Hydrogen-based ironmaking: MHI Australia and Primetals Technologies join Heavy Industry Low-Carbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre

Sydney/London, Aug 25, 2021 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Australia and Primetals Technologies, a member of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, have joined Australia's Heavy Industry Low-Carbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre (HILT CRC) as key partners. The Centre, a not-for-profit entity with significant government funding, aims to develop technologies to decarbonize Australia's heavy industrial sector, leverage the country's natural endowments in mineral and clean energy resources and seize the opportunity of growing export markets for certified low-carbon products. Over the next 10 years, Primetals Technologies and MHI Australia will be contributing financially as well as with their decades-long experience in iron and steel production to this effort. The companies will focus on research and development of hydrogen-based direct reduction of iron ore. This includes the novel HYFOR (hydrogen-based fine-ore reduction) technology currently being piloted by Primetals Technologies in Europe.Photo of the HYFOR direct reduction pilot plant for iron ore fines developed by Primetals Technologies and located at the voestalpine site in Donawitz, Austria. By joining the Heavy Industry Low-Carbon Transition Cooperative Research Centre, MHI Australia and Primetals Technologies will help Australia's iron and steel sector to decarbonize.Australia has the world's largest iron ore deposits and is the leading exporter of iron ore. Since the iron and steel sector is responsible for 7-10% of greenhouse gas emissions globally, Australia has a key role to play in the decarbonization of the industry--an effort which needs to be accelerated. Switching from traditional coal and coke-based ironmaking processes to hydrogen-based production methods is the only way for the industry to fully decarbonize. Deploying these technologies at scale in Australia could move producers up the value chain and turn the country into a major exporter of low-carbon, direct-reduced iron. This would help Australia meet its obligations under the Paris Agreement and make it easier for the global iron and steel industry to reach net-zero by 2050.Primetals Technologies brings an extensive portfolio of iron ore beneficiation, pelletizing, sintering and iron ore reduction technologies to the table. It has been involved in the deployment of one third of the global fleet of MIDREX DRI plants -- the now predominant natural gas based direct-reduction technology, which can be operated on 100% hydrogen. Earlier this year, Primetals Technologies commissioned a pilot plant for its novel HYFOR (Hydrogen-based Fine Ore Reduction) technology at a site of Austrian steelmaker voestalpine. The technology builds on the company's extensive experience with the FINMET process, first introduced by Primetals Technologies in Australia (BHP Port Hedland) in the late 1990s. The next step -- building an industrial-scale HYFOR prototype - will be decided by the end of the year.Dr. Alexander Fleischanderl, Technology Officer Upstream and Head of Eco Technologies, Primetals Technologies, said: "Australia has large deposits of iron ore, great potential for green energy, and boasts a dynamic academic and business environment. This puts the country in a unique position in the quest for net-zero by 2050 as a supplier of clean metallics. The HILT-CRC, with its wide range of partners from across the energy, hydrogen, mining, and cement industries, will form a great ecosystem for innovation."Through MHI Group's advanced technologies and strong collaborations with the Australian government and universities, MHI Australia is an active partner in Australia's sustainable development efforts with a focus on energy and decarbonization. MHI is partnering with the Government of New South Wales to propose a comprehensive development plan for the Western Sydney region. MHI is also working with H2U to support the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) study for H2U's Eyre Peninsula Gateway project in South Australia, a greenfield development for the production of green hydrogen and ammonia planned to commercially operate from early 2023. It is anticipated that MHI Australia's involvement with the HILT-CRC will expand and evolve over time - further contributing to Australia's industrial development.Shigeru Nakabayashi, Managing Director, MHI Australia, said: "There is an urgent need to decarbonize the industry sector which is currently responsible for a significant portion of carbon emissions. MHI Group's advanced technologies allows us to partner with Australia - a country where iron ore and iron manufacturing are key industries - in efforts to reduce emissions. We are on track to achieving gas turbines fueled by 100% hydrogen and ammonia by 2025, and we look forward to contributing to HILT-CRC's aim to decarbonize Australia's heavy industry sector with our innovative, low-carbon solutions, including Primetals Technologies' HYFOR technology."This partnership will contribute to MHI Group's aim to realize a carbon neutral future - one of the most critical challenges faced today - by helping to establish a robust hydrogen solutions ecosystem in Australia and around the world.
