The growth in decarbonisation and rising copper demand to drive electrification have brought mining giants Rio Tinto and Glencore to the table to explore a $260bn merger. Rio Tinto confirmed it had been engaging “in preliminary discussions” about a possible combination of some or all of its businesses, which could include an all-share merger. But it added there was “no certainty” that an offer would be made. Rio Tinto, which operates in 35 countries, is continuously searching for new projects that can support the energy transition. It is currently exploring seven commodities in 17 countries, and its market capitalisation ranges between $132bn and $144bn. Glencore’s capitalisation is significantly lower, at around $69bn, but its large base metals portfolio, including significant copper and cobalt assets, would complement Rio Tinto’s global iron ore and aluminium operations. Glencore… Read More »Materials demand pushes merger talk by mining giants | Decarbonisation News
Energy will once again be at the forefront politically and economically in 2026. At the same time, issues relating to price, capacity, and new tech scale-up mean the industry remains mired in uncertainty. Will LNG continue its growth, driven by the huge build-out of new capacity in the US, or will solar, green molecules and other renewable technologies be the main story? Then there is the continued spectre of geopolitical tensions, underlined by the recent US capture of Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro. Each new year also brings fresh hope that the Ukraine war will end, though a resolution won’t come easily. Speaking on the Energy Gang podcast, Amy Myers Jaffe, Director of the Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab at New York University’s School of Professional Studies and expert on global energy policy, sustainability, and geopolitical… Read More »Price ‘holds key’ to energy techs in an uncertain world | Technology Gas News

Green hydrogen as an energy carrier sits at the heart of the global energy transition today. Not every company that has moved on the opportunity in the past five years has delivered on their ambitions, but one tangible success is Stargate Hydrogen in Estonia, which since 2021 has been busy developing a novel alkaline electrolyser. The step-change the Stargate Hydrogen electrolyser stack delivers lies in the catalysts the technology deploys. It uses ceramic-based materials rather than scarce and costly precious metals, such as iridium or ruthenium, which other electrolysers need. It’s an innovation that has several clear benefits, including lower material costs and energy consumption, thereby making green hydrogen that much more viable as it scales. It also extends the lifespan of the equipment in use, cutting maintenance and downtime to improve the economics. …… Read More »Best of 2025: Stargate Hydrogen on improving electrolysers (November 2025) | Hydrogen
