First UK trial of hydrogen blended gas hailed a success

Gas and nuclear power generation would be labeled green on the grounds that they are "transitional" activities, defined as those that are not fully sustainable but have emissions below industry average and do not lock in polluting assets.

Now a new player is entering the field. Georgia, in the Caucasus mountains between Russia and Central Asia, has terrain that brings plentiful supplies of fast-flowing mountain water. This already allows it to produce cheap, clean, abundant hydropower, making up 75-80 per cent of its domestic energy mix.
The Georgian government, realising that water currently spilled during the summer months would be put to better use producing hydrogen, has now asked the EBRD to explore the country’s potential for generating green hydrogen which could then be blended and transported to end-users through existing gas pipelines.
The EBRD accepted and, in a deal signed this week, agreed to provide technical cooperation support to assess the investment requirements in Georgia for green hydrogen generation, as well as to upgrade existing assets to transport blended hydrogen to end-users. The technical cooperation will run over the next few years, setting out a timeline for potential investments after that.
The agreement was part of a broader transaction signed between Georgia’s GOGC energy company and the EBRD, to lend the company €217 million to help it refinance a corporate Eurobond in the wake of this year’s Covid-19 slowdown. GOGC provides 20 per cent of Georgia’s electricity and is the main government entity ensuring the reliability of gas supplies in the country.
“Georgia is making a very timely move in terms of utilising its hydro potential and future-proofing its gas infrastructure to accept low carbon fuels. We are pleased to support them with these first steps,” said Aida Sitdikova, Director and Head of Energy Eurasia, in the EBRD’s Sustainable Infrastructure Group.

12/16/2021NOTICE of Appearance by Mark Thomas Doerr for Plaintiff Frontera Resources Corporation
Law360 (December 15, 2021, 4:39 PM EST) -- A Texas-based oil and gas corporation owes Taylor English Duma LLP over $2.8 million for nearly 3,000 unpaid billable hours, expenses and interest, according to a suit the law firm filed in Georgia state court.
Frontera Resources Corp. reneged on its February 2019 retainer agreement with the Atlanta-headquartered law firm, according to the six-page complaint Taylor English filed Monday. In addition to the over $2.1 million for unpaid legal work and expenses and $721,655 in interest, Taylor English wants its ex-client to reimburse the firm's attorney fees for having to pursue the payment litigation.
The complaint alleges one count of breach of contract, one count of unjust enrichment and one count of account stated against Houston-based Frontera Resources. As part of alleging account stated, Taylor English said that the total sum is the correct amount that Frontera Resources owes. Taylor English referred to a state law that states that a defendant in an action must either deny the debt or reply with how much is truly owed to the plaintiff.
According to Taylor English, the corporation had retained the firm and agreed to pay up to $795 an hour for legal services.
"At [Taylor English's] expense, [Frontera Resources] has been unjustly enriched through the conduct described above, and [Taylor English] is entitled to be compensated for the benefit that [Frontera Resources] has enjoyed and will enjoy as a result of its receipt of the services provided to it under the engagement agreement," Taylor English said in its complaint.
In a two-page letter dated Feb. 8, 2019, Bryce D. Linsenmayer of Taylor English thanked Levan Bakhutashvili of Frontera Resources for agreeing to retain the firm. Linsenmayer outlined terms of their agreement, including how Frontera was responsible for paying for any legal services provided and for any interest accrued for an unpaid balance.
"Our firm customarily asks for a retainer at the outset for a new client engagement but we have agreed to forgo a retainer at this time," Linsenmayer said in the letter.
"In addition to our fees, you will be responsible for expenses in connection with this engagement, including travel, filing fees, courts costs, postage, online research fees and governmental filing fees, if necessary," Linsenmayer said in the letter. "You may terminate this agreement with us at any time, but we are entitled to the full amount of fees earned."
A spokesperson for Taylor English said in a statement to Law360 Pulse on Wednesday that the firm is committed to providing "outstanding" legal services to its clients.
"We invest in relationships, aim to walk in our clients' shoes, and always honor our commitments," the spokesperson said. "In doing so, we uphold the high standards of service our clients have come to know and expect from our firm."
Frontera Resources didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
