SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 August 2025 – LHN Energy Resources, a leading provider of renewable energy solutions, is proud to announce the completion of solar carport installation at Goldhill Plaza’s open space car park. This new initiative, part of a strategic collaboration with LHN Parking, aims to provide a sustainable energy solution while optimising underutilised space in Singapore’s urban landscape.

Turning Underutilised Space into Sustainable Energy Solutions

In a land-scarce city like Singapore, businesses often grapple with the challenge of finding suitable spaces for solar energy installations. Rooftop space is frequently limited or already occupied, and large-scale solar farms are often unfeasible in densely built environments. At the same time, the rising cost of traditional energy sources and the need to meet sustainability goals have placed greater pressure on companies to adopt renewable energy alternatives.

The new solar carport installation at Goldhill Plaza addresses these challenges head-on. By transforming an open-air car park into a productive energy site, this project turns underutilised space into a dual-function solution, generating renewable energy while providing shaded, weather-protected parking. The solar panels on the carport structure will produce clean power to support on-site energy consumption, reducing both reliance on the grid and overall operational costs for the property.

Not only does this project support businesses by reducing energy expenses, but it also aligns with Singapore’s broader commitment to green energy adoption. It serves as a prime example of how multi-functional infrastructure can address urban sustainability goals.

Looking Towards the Future: Expanding Solar Carports Across Singapore

Building on the success of the Goldhill Plaza installation, LHN Energy is setting its sights on a broader rollout of solar carports throughout Singapore. As part of its ongoing collaboration with LHN Parking, the company plans to introduce similar solar-integrated structures in other open-air carparks across the island.

This forward-thinking initiative reflects LHN Energy’s continued commitment to reshaping urban infrastructure through renewable energy. By combining energy generation with functional urban design, future solar carport projects will not only optimise land use but also support Singapore’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

As demand grows for eco-conscious property upgrades and energy-efficient solutions, LHN Energy aims to lead the way in delivering smart, sustainable infrastructure that serves both environmental and operational needs. The expansion of solar carports is more than a business strategy, it’s a step towards a cleaner, more resilient city for all.

Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Brooke van Velden is consulting on proposed changes to health and safety regulations to better support innovation in New Zealand’s science and technology sector.  

“As part of the wider health and safety reforms, we’re clearing the way for scientific progress by reducing complexity and making it easier to understand what’s required,” says Ms van Velden.   

“We’ve heard that the current regulations don’t match what university laboratories do, creating unnecessary compliance challenges. Researchers and innovators need a system that supports their work, not one that stands in the way.”  

I am proposing a change that aims to match hazardous substances requirements for university laboratories as well as science and technology laboratories with their actual risk.  

Current regulations require flammable substance laboratories to be on the ground floor. However, universities often place them on upper levels to improve fire safety and security, keeping evacuation routes clear and limiting access to hazardous materials. This approach, supported by Fire and Emergency New Zealand, does not align with how the regulations are currently written.  

“I’m developing these changes to ensure they are practical and effectively support New Zealand’s science and technology sector. This includes assessing whether the current laboratory design and hazardous substances storage requirements work for their laboratories.  

“We’ll be consulting directly with the university laboratories and science and technology laboratories. I intend to complete these changes by mid-2026.”  

Another key change already being consulted on aims to remove regulatory barriers to the development and use of hydrogen technologies.  

“We’re planning to update the rules to support the safe development and use of hydrogen technologiesin a way that’s flexible, future-proofed, and internationally aligned.”  

Officials have already conducted targeted consultation, and now we’re opening it more widely to ensure all interested stakeholders have the opportunity to share their feedback. 

Because the current safety requirements were not developed with hydrogen in mind, they are now preventing the safe development and use of hydrogen technologies.   

Key changes being consulted on include:  

Enabling the use of hydrogen storage containers that are already in common use overseas. 
Establishing safety requirements for cryogenic liquid hydrogen. 
Introducing safety requirements for hydrogen filling stations and dispensers.  

“Hydrogen technologies could transform sectors from transport to manufacturing, and these changes will help unlock that potential by removing regulatory barriers.”  

These changes support the Government’s 2024 Hydrogen Action Plan by creating an enabling regulatory environment for hydrogen development while maintaining safety. The changes are expected to be completed by mid-2026.  

“Once agreed, these updates will remove unnecessary complexity and ensure the regulatory system better supports scientific research and emerging technologies,” says Ms van Velden.   

“These changes will save time and costs for businesses and workers as we cut red tape to make it easier to do business. When our Kiwi businesses thrive, there are more jobs and lower prices for all New Zealanders.”

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 July 2025 – Hydrogen will play a crucial role in driving the green transition with demand expected to surge in the coming decades. Around 60 governments have adopted hydrogen strategies, while the number of planned projects is already exceeding 1,500 globally compared to around 200 in 2021 – an increase of around 600%. To realize these projects, a total investment volume of US$680bn until 2030 may be needed, according to the Hydrogen Council and McKinsey, which will trigger a greatly increased demand for insurance to protect against risks as this investment is activated. Europe is leading the way by far with 617 planned projects and the highest total investment announced at $199bn.

While the potential of hydrogen is undoubtable, there are still challenges and headwinds to overcome. The potential size and scope of the hydrogen economy will depend on a range of factors including the evolving political, trade, and economic environment, as well as demand. Policymakers and regulators need to address costs for the development of the infrastructure, so that scaling up at a competitive level towards other energy sources is possible. Across all industries, stringent safety measures will be vital to manage hydrogen’s inherent risks. This is where the insurance industry comes into play. As hydrogen becomes integrated into the global economy, insurers can expect to see a significant increase in demand for coverage, with Allianz Commercial expecting the insurance market for hydrogen project coverage to grow to over US$3 billion in premiums by 2030.

“Insurers have a key role to play in the development of the hydrogen economy, enabling investment and innovation, and providing risk management advice and guidance. Collaboration and knowledge-sharing within this industry are essential for developing best practices and building expertise. By addressing these multi-faceted challenges, the insurance sector can support the growth of the hydrogen economy and help facilitate the transition to net-zero emissions,” says Anthony Vassallo, Global Head of Natural Resources at Allianz Commercial.

Hydrogen offers great potential in Asia Pacific, but challenges and risks remain

While it holds much promise and has been used in the chemical and refinery sectors for many decades, with risks such as fire, explosion and embrittlement being already well-known, the integration of hydrogen into other industries brings a range of challenges with currently planned mega projects requiring a scale-up of risk management. Energy production facilities will involve hydrogen storage and high-temperature combustion, which can lead to leaks and explosions. In transport, applications like hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will also face risks of hydrogen embrittlement and leaks. Port operators, bunkering facilities and fuel handlers will need to manage highly flammable and cryogenic hydrogen fuels, bringing accident and contamination risks.

“Hydrogen holds significant promise in driving the energy transition across the Asia Pacific region, and we are already seeing power generation projects being developed that are designed to run with hydrogen as a potential fuel source. Further collaboration between countries can also be expected, in areas such as storage and transportation infrastructure, that will help to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen in the region. Allianz Commercial, with its proven expertise in low-carbon and energy sectors, is dedicated to supporting clients on their sustainability journey,” adds Trent Cannings, Regional Head of Natural Resources & Construction and Head of Specialty Hub at Allianz Commercial Asia Pacific.

Risk management and mitigation are crucial for hydrogen projects

Given hydrogen’s unique properties and high combustibility, ensuring safety throughout the value chain is crucial. Analysis of hydrogen-related incidents shows that undetected leaks can easily lead to explosions; equipment design, maintenance and training can help prevent the escape of flammable hydrogen gas, while the risks of ignition can also be reduced by locating hydrogen facilities in the open. Embrittlement risks can be managed using hydrogen-compatible materials and specifically designed resistant coatings. In addition to preventing incidents, organizations can take steps to limit the extent of property damage, business interruption, and third-party liability. Buildings and facilities should be designed and constructed to withstand natural hazards, fire and explosion, and limit damage to adjacent property and equipment. Robust hydrogen leak detection and isolation systems are also paramount. Human error is also a common factor in large losses. Operational, safety, emergency procedures, and training should be frequently updated, including having robust and well-rehearsed plans in place for accidental releases.

“Given the wide reach of the hydrogen value chain and its potential uses, the implications for insurance could be far-reaching, touching on multiple sectors and lines of business over the next decade. However, from an exposure and potential claims perspective, product lines such as Energy, Natural Resources and Liability are likely to see the biggest impact from hydrogen risks over the next five to 10 years, followed by Property and Marine,” explains Vassallo.

I am delighted to be here in Singapore once again, to speak to you in my capacity as New Zealand’s Minister for Resources and Associate Minister for Energy.

If you haven’t heard of me before today, I’m proud to declare myself the champion of New Zealand’s petroleum and minerals sector. 

I want to thank the Energy Council for asking me to speak with you today on the significant changes that have happened in my country and what is still changing now. 

I’d also like to take a moment to acknowledge some of our growing oil and gas producers here today, such as Wai-Lid Wong from Matahio, who can attest to the positive changes I’m going to talk to you about this morning. And we also have Richard Beament from Horizon Oil here with long-term joint venture investments in our gas fields. 

Thank you gentlemen for the part you are playing in continuing to grow this sector in New Zealand.

The coalition Government I am a part of is injecting life back into New Zealand’s economy through increased foreign investment, trade, regional development, and energy security.

The strategic and responsible development of New Zealand’s oil and gas resources presents us with a significant opportunity.

A productive oil and gas sector is critical to ensuring enough gas to keep our lights on, the economy growing, and keep de-industrialisation at bay. As a food bowl for Asia, I believe we need to keep investing in gas for all its uses.

New Zealand has a well-established, innovative and highly skilled oil and gas sector on the West of our North Island in the Taranaki region and we wish to keep it that way. 

Our Government sees reliable ongoing gas production contributing to our national self-sufficiency and domestic resilience and a critical part of our export-led recovery. 

Our gas reserves data tells us a concerning story, but introduces opportunity for the sector. I intend to leave no stone unturned to ensure all our current and future energy sector participants have the confidence and see the right market incentives to keep our businesses operating and growing.

I’ll be the first to reflect and acknowledge that confidence in our gas sector took a significant hit when the petroleum exploration ban was introduced in 2018. The ban impacted investment in our producing fields and barred new exploration. 

As a country we have seen the impact of this. We have listened, we have heard, and we are changing it now.

This is why I am advancing two critical policies in legislation right now – to help secure our short and mid-term energy future as we transition towards more renewable energy forms.

I am reversing the ban on offshore oil and gas exploration, and changing settings to make sure we are balancing Crown risk in decommissioning, while not disincentivising ongoing investment in our existing fields.

As part of this we are giving the oil and gas exploration market a new Open Market Application process meaning all acreage is open for application, and you’re not restricted to block offers.

I am pleased to tell you today that the Government has set aside $NZ200 million to become a cornerstone investor in new gas projects. These will be business case-based with a likely government stake of up to 15 per cent for each successful project.

This will make our Government a contracted partner in the project. 

Having skin in the game as a cornerstone investor demonstrates our own commitment to meeting our future gas needs. If we really want to address the current reality that we rely on imported coal, not domestic gas, to get through winter, we must be prepared to stand alongside our petroleum sector as a co-investor.

We see this as a strong signal to make it clear to foreign investors, explorers, and producers, that New Zealand is leaving the past behind and wants investment in new petroleum opportunities. 

But, although there is still much to do on the West Coast, we don’t want you to constrain your thinking to just that part of our beautiful country. New Zealand has frontier offshore basins off the east coast of both Islands. We have the East Coast basin, Canterbury basin, and the Great South Basin. For these there are existing open geodata sets with our regulators and companies such as SLB, here with us, who have still confidential commercial exploration data available to you.

As well as the $NZ200m, the Government has announced a raft of other changes that will get New Zealand back on track and open for business.

What we have seen peak interest around the world is our innovative Fast-track Approvals Act passed last year. This provides an approvals pathway for cutting red tape, but not cutting corners, and projects of regional or national significance to be approved in months, not years.

In our recent Budget, we announced Investment Boost – a 20 percent first-year capital depreciation policy, this is in addition to normal accounting depreciation standards and is in effect now. 

This supports our already attractive tax expense claim, depreciation, and royalty rebate regime settings supporting you run your business, and contributing to the cost of decommissioning at project end of life.

We are overhauling our Overseas Investment Act. The reforms shift the Act’s focus to emphasise economic benefits, replacing the presumption that foreign investment is a privilege. Most applications—excluding residential land, farmland, and fishing quota—will now be processed within 15 days.

We are in the process of entirely rewriting our Resource Management legislation. Introduced in 1991 it was world-leading for the time in managing our natural and physical resources and replaced over 50 previous pieces of legislation. However, after 34 years this legislation is no longer fit for purpose and we appreciate how it’s holding back investment and development in every sector, including residential building. We will see this reform completed in this term of government, and until then the Fast Track Approvals Act supports projects get started today. 

I am also interested in maximising the potential of our geothermal and natural hydrogen resources.

New Zealand has long been a user of geothermal energy. It currently makes up nearly 20 percent of our electricity generation. But we see so much more potential with new technology in super-critical and other next-generation geothermal.  

We have ringfenced $NZ60 million for pre-feasibility of next generation geothermal and we expect to see exploratory drilling next year.

Unlike many renewable energy sources, geothermal energy provides critical continuous baseload energy and electricity generation. This is particularly important in the context of our energy security challenges.

We will have a geothermal strategy completed by the end of this year.

We are blessed with a geology permissive to the production of induced Orange Hydrogen, as well as natural ‘White’ Hydrogen prospects. Right now, regulators are undertaking public consultation on our country’s hydrogen policy settings, and we expect to see considerations for Cabinet later this year.

So, as you’ve heard the changes our Government has introduced or that are passing through Parliament right now will: 

• reverse the oil and gas exploration ban entirely
• start a new open market application process for any acreage you see as prospective
• address petroleum decommissioning requirements to align us with best practice
• share risk through government co-investment through our $NZ200m fund
• make for fast project consent approvals through our Fast-track Approvals process
• give overseas investors certainty, whenever there is an investment that invokes the Overseas Investment Act, a decision being made in weeks.

Travelling with me I have officials from New Zealand and our chief exploration and production geologist, and for those of you I’m not already scheduled to see I’d encourage you to introduce yourselves or talk with my team.

• CEO Glenn Corrie and other members of the management team will be hosting a webinar on Wednesday, 07 May 2025 at 09:00am (AWST) / 11:00am (AEST). Details provided below

PERTH, Australia, May 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  Hazer Group Ltd (“Hazer” or “the Company”) (ASX: HZR) is pleased to announce it has entered into a binding Alliance Agreement (the “Alliance”) with Kellogg Brown and Root LLC (NYSE: KBR, “KBR”) a global leader in technology and engineering solutions, for the commercial deployment and licensing of Hazer’s proprietary methane pyrolysis technology.

KBR – A Global Leader in Technology Licensing
KBR is a world-renowned engineering and technology company delivering engineering and cutting-edge technology licensing solutions to companies and governments across energy, chemicals, infrastructure and defence. KBR has licensed over 260 grassroots ammonia plants since 1943. Over 50% of the world’s ammonia is produced using KBR’s ammonia process.

KBR also brings a strong track record in commercialising breakthrough industrial technologies. Notable partnerships include ExxonMobil for next-generation catalyst development, and Mura Technology (including a US$100 million strategic investment) to scale its proprietary plastic recycling solution world-wide.

Under the Alliance, KBR will be Hazer’s exclusive global partner for the marketing, licensing and deployment of Hazer technology to customers in the ammonia and methanol markets. KBR and Hazer will also work closely to pursue licensing opportunities in decarbonizing hydrogen markets beyond these exclusive markets.

KBR’s President Sustainable Technology Solutions, Jay Ibrahim, said: “KBR’s proven global expertise in deploying sustainable technology solutions complements Hazer’s leading methane pyrolysis technology, making us ideal partners. Our market assessment and due diligence have highlighted Hazer’s potential to decarbonize the global ammonia and methanol sectors. We are excited to partner with Hazer to provide a compelling low- carbon hydrogen production solution to meet growing global demand.”

Hazer’s CEO and Managing Director, Glenn Corrie, said: “We are excited to be joining forces with KBR to commercialise Hazer’s world-leading clean hydrogen technology on the global stage. This is a transformational transaction for Hazer coming at a critical time when the world urgently needs affordable, low-emissions hydrogen to decarbonise legacy hard-to-abate industries. Building on the momentum of our successful Commercial Demonstration Plant and technology test program, which laid the foundations of commercialisation last year, this partnership represents a strong endorsement and the next logical step in delivering on our strategic roadmap and unlocking long-term value for shareholders.

KBR has the scale, capability and reputation to help accelerate the deployment of Hazer’s technology at industrial scale. We see immediate potential in the ammonia and methanol sectors – industries with significant CO2 footprints and strong demand for clean alternatives. KBR’s market leadership, global reach and execution strength make them an ideal partner to bring our vision to life.”

Strategic Alliance to Commercialise Hazer’s Leading Methane Pyrolysis Technology
Under the Alliance, Hazer and KBR will collaborate on the up-scaling, marketing and licensing of the Hazer technology for commercial deployment.

Under the terms of the agreement, KBR will be Hazer’s exclusive licensing partner for the ammonia and methanol markets while working closely in other hydrogen sectors. The initial term of the Alliance is six (6) years with an option to extend subject to the achievement of performance metrics. The parties have agreed to collaborate on the development of a design package for Hazer facilities targeting hydrogen capacities of 50,000+ tonne per annum as well as the global sales, marketing and licensing of Hazer’s technology. Hazer will be KBR’s exclusive methane pyrolysis technology provider.

The total cost of the Alliance work program is anticipated to be in the range A$3.0-5.0 million of which KBR will contribute approximately A$3.0 million over the work program period. The Alliance is underpinned by performance objectives with a target of securing multiple firm licensing opportunities during the initial term.

In respect of royalty and licensing fee sharing, the Company will keep the market informed as license arrangements are signed. Hazer’s pre-existing portfolio and opportunity pipeline is not subject to the terms of the Alliance. An incentive structure applies in the event KBR secures a license for the first commercial unit secured within three years. There is no financial impact at this stage as no client agreements are in place.

In other terms, the agreement can terminate if licensing performance metrics are not met. Hazer retains full ownership of its existing intellectual property. The agreement otherwise contains terms customary for an arrangement of this kind.

Strategic Rationale and Impact on Hazer’s Business Plan
This landmark strategic alliance with KBR, a globally recognised leader in technology licensing, marks a transformational step in Hazer’s commercialisation strategy. It provides a clear pathway to commercial scale unlocking the vast potential of the company’s technology. At present, Hazer has a customer pipeline comprising of over 40 potential license opportunities in addition to currently announced projects. This transaction enables the acceleration of the company’s business plan by adding multiple technology licensing opportunities within the next six (6) years. Additionally, it substantially boosts the ability to scale and deploy its technology at an unprecedented pace, dramatically increasing the likelihood of achieving the company’s goal of ten (10) licensing deals in the next decade.

Material impact on Hazer’s portfolio and business plan:
1.   New revenue streams: Creates access to global ammonia and methanol markets, significantly expanding market penetration.
2.   De-risks and accelerates project portfolio deployment: Leverages KBR’s resources, execution capability
and market reach to fast-track industrial-scale delivery of Hazer technology.
3.   Capital-efficient growth: Maintains Hazer’s robust funding position. Early phase project revenues and KBR’s contribution to the work program minimises Hazer’s funding requirements. Capital-lite licensing model drives early free cash-flow generation and reduces balance sheet risk.
4.   Market leadership and first-mover advantage: Positions Hazer at the forefront of low-emissions
hydrogen supply in two of the world’s largest existing demand markets.

Disrupting a Large, Established and CO2 Intensive Market*
Hydrogen is critical to ammonia and methanol production, representing over 50% of global hydrogen demand (~54 million tonnes per annum) with the two markets having a combined value of US$120 billion. The current production process used to supply hydrogen to these markets is extremely CO2 intensive, responsible for over 500 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum globally.

Under the Alliance, Hazer’s technology will deliver clean and affordable hydrogen supply as the critical feedstock for the ammonia and methanol industries.

• SA Solar Fuels will have the capacity to produce 7,500 tonnes per annum of sustainable fuels to meet the growing demand from maritime and aviation industries
• Funding will support industry-leading optimisation work as the project advances towards FEED following successful completion of pre-FEED

SYDNEY, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HyFuel Solar Refinery Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Vast Renewables Limited (Vast) (Nasdaq: VSTE), has been awarded AUD 700,000 through the Australia-Singapore Low Emissions Technologies (ASLET) initiative for maritime and port operations. The funding will progress the development of South Australia Solar Fuels (SA Solar Fuels), a world-first sustainable fuels project collaboration between Vast and global energy company Mabanaft.

SA Solar Fuels, previously known as Solar Methanol 1, or SM1, is being developed to meet the rapidly growing demand for sustainable fuels by the maritime and aviation industries, which urgently need pathways to decarbonise fuel to meet net zero targets.

The SA Solar Fuels demonstration plant will be capable of producing 7,500 tonnes per annum of green methanol, enough to fuel multiple car ferries for sustainable tourism or short-sea shipping for bulk freight in Australia. The groundbreaking technology demonstrated by SA Solar Fuels has the potential to produce hydrogen-derived sustainable fuels which can be used to replace fossil fuels in logistical operations, offering a low-carbon alternative to power ships, planes or other industrial applications.

Preliminary front-end engineering and design (pre-FEED) for SA Solar Fuels has been completed by global engineering firms Fichtner and bse Methanol. ASLET’s support will fund further project optimisation ahead of commencing front-end engineering and design (FEED), which will address technical, infrastructure, regulatory and commercial readiness elements of the project to ensure the successful adoption of green methanol in maritime operations.

Aimed at helping the maritime and port operations industries to accelerate towards a net-zero emissions future while delivering bilateral economic benefits, ASLET is co-delivered by Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, and is supported by the Governments of Australia and Singapore.

“We are delighted to receive this backing from ASLET, which recognises the potential of our project to play a significant role in decarbonising global fuel production. We believe SA Solar Fuels offers a scalable solution which can produce green fuels at lower cost than renewable-powered alternatives. We are looking forward to progressing towards FEED with our partners at Mabanaft, and to advancing our global pipeline of green fuels projects,” said Vast CEO Craig Wood.

The ASLET funding is the latest boost of support for SA Solar Fuels, following the funding announced in January 2023 that Vast will receive up to AUD $19.48 million from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and Mabanaft will receive up to EUR $12.4 million from Projektträger Jülich (PtJ) on behalf of the German government as part of the German-Australian Hydrogen Innovation and Technology Incubator (known as HyGATE).

Located at the Port Augusta Green Energy Hub, SA Solar Fuels will be powered by Vast’s next generation concentrated solar thermal power technology, which is expected to offer the lowest-cost energy source for green fuel production thanks to its ability to generate continuous heat and power. Calix, Vast’s principal CO₂ supply partner on the project, will supply unavoidable industrial CO₂ emissions through its co-located world-first carbon capture and utilisation demonstration plant. The CO₂ will be synthesised with green hydrogen to create sustainable fuels.
