            <description><![CDATA[The global Hydrogen Council is urging the world to scale up its hydrogen energy ecosystem at pace, which coincided with green hydrogen being declared integral to a new South African industrial framework at this week’s Africa Green Hydrogen Summit in Cape Town. While the Africa Green Hydrogen Summit was being told that the management office of South Africa’s Just Energy Transition Investment Plan programme at the Industrial Development Corporation had identified 24 hydrogen projects, the Hydrogen Council co-chairperson and Air Liquide CEO François Jackow was advising the world to “bring hydrogen to scale”, while simultaneously pointing out that the energy issues triggered by the conflict in the Middle East had reminded everyone that energy security is a “vital priority”.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The world’s biggest iron-ore producers are depleting ore reserves faster than they can replenish them, as the cost and complexity of developing replacements continues to rise, according to Wood Mackenzie.

The six largest iron-ore producers, which includes BHP Group and Rio Tinto Group, collectively depleted 11.1-billion tons of ore reserves that could be sold between 2016 and 2025, the consultancy said in a report released Thursday. ]]></description>
