Have you heard of ‘product-as-a-service?’ If not, it might be just about time. For the industry to become more responsible, we need new and alternative business models that are not just good for profit, but also for people and the planet. A great example of this is our collaboration with Semco Maritime concerning equipment for offshore installations within the conventional energy industry. As the equipment is not needed permanently, but only during specific phases of the project, Semco Maritime has opted to hire the equipment from Mouritsen A/S rather than buying it. This means that Semco Maritime does not need to invest in new, expensive equipment, but is always guaranteed the right equipment at the right time. And we make sure that the equipment always fits the job and has the necessary documentation. All in all, it's a great example of where we as an industry are headed thanks to upcoming business models like ‘product-as-a-service’. There is still a long way to go, but it has been a pleasure to work with Semco Maritime on this project – hopefully, it can inspire others... Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dvjrBP-b

Hot off the press! Our annual report provides details on the impact Camco-managed funds create and how we invest responsibly in climate change mitigation. For me, the highlights are: -     Over 1.6 million people were provided with new or improved electricity connections in some of the world's least electrified countries; -     Nearly 5,000 microbusinesses and 400 critical service providers electrified, leading to improved economic opportunities and service delivery; -     30 % of funding committed to female-owned and led companies!

The Netherlands has one of the most expensive energy systems in Europe. This is due to the artificial increase in price of fossil fuels by simply levying taxes to make renewables possible. (The price of renewable energy is more expensive than fossil fuels.) A country's prosperity depends on the price of energy, because everything is connected to it. But history has shown that there is another effect, because you can't just make energy more expensive. There is a point where workarounds are devised and it becomes profitable to develop new technologies. This was already demonstrated in 1973 during the oil crisis when Shell engineers, during a competition, further developed a car engine with a range of >>150km/litre of petrol. You might wonder why this technology was swept under the carpet again. https://lnkd.in/eQQjJC2s

Bracewell represented Ecora Resources in relation to the acquisition of 0.85% gross revenue royalty over the Phalaborwa Rare Earths Project in South Africa. Ecora Resources will also acquire shares in Rainbow Rare Earths Ltd, the majority owner of the Phalaborwa Rare Earths Project, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. Rare earth elements occur naturally, but rarely in concentrated forms that are commercial to extract. They are essential in the production of permanent magnets, which are key components in renewable wind power turbines and electric vehicle motors. Consequently, rare earth elements are critical to the energy transition. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gGRGcDw7
