@drvolts Australia’s National Hydrogen Strategy (2019) was on it

[James Bowen @j_s_bowen]

@B_Herscovitch Apparent logic of separate "strategic" list is these are key to energy transition but not subject to same supply chain pressures as those on "critical" front. I can't really grasp what that will mean from a policy POV though

[Dr Wesley Morgan @wtmpacific]

🚨Breaking🚨 Nearly 200 countries have reached a historic agreement at the COP28 United Nations climate talks, signalling that the world will shift away from fossil fuels. It's far from a perfect text, but it heralds the beginning of the end for coal, oil and gas.

but there are still challenges, of course. They include a likely need for Indian policy evolution away from unhelpful focus on autarky, and the competition posed by the return of industry policy over free trade in more major/more advanced economies

[James Bowen @j_s_bowen]

Bit late to the party (I’ve been travelling) but I launched a couple of new additions to my Perth USAsia Centre series of papers on Australia’s bilateral critical minerals relationships last week, on India and Indonesia 👇https://t.co/A1Wx6UJ9p5 https://t.co/SsQ5kxQlny

[James Bowen @j_s_bowen]

My paper on India examines a more advanced relationship with commercially meaningful outcomes potentially around the corner...

Great to see WA moving on this front

[The West Australian @westaustralian]

Roger Cook will convene a summit to map out WA’s pathway to a global green energy superpower in mid-November – delivering on a pledge made during his first major keynote speech after becoming Premier.

In light of the Federal Court's decision stopping Woodside Energy seismic testing for its Scarborough LNG expansion, perhaps a good time for a reminder of the potential climate impact of this project.
