(Alliance News) - A commission of energy experts has been set up to review the impact of the gas crisis and ensure the UK is better prepared in future.

The Energy Crisis Commission will bring together representatives from Energy UK, the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), Citizens Advice and National Energy Action.

It is launching on Wednesday with a call for evidence on the recent energy crisis in Britain.

Gas prices began rising in 2021 before skyrocketing the following year as European countries moved to cut their reliance on Russian gas due to the country's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

UK households and businesses faced huge increases to their energy bills as they grappled with the Covid pandemic fallout and the rising cost of living.

The Energy Crisis Commission said it expects to publish its findings in the autumn and make a series of high-level recommendations on how the country can mitigate the impact of possible future energy crises.

David Law, Energy UK chair and a former MP, will chair the commission.

Law said: "The energy crisis has been hard on households and businesses alike. It's important that we reflect on what has happened and steps that the country could take to mitigate the impacts of any future crises to ensure we are more resilient."

He will work alongside CBI chief economist Louise Hellem, Citizens Advice's Director of Energy Gillian Cooper, Energy UK's Deputy Chief Executive Dhara Vyas, National Energy Action's Chief Executive Adam Scorer, and University College London energy policy professor Jim Watson.

Hellem said: "Energy price volatility over recent years has brought impossible choices for many families and significant cost pressures for businesses in multiple sectors, limiting their ability to invest.

"Assessing how policies can better protect households and businesses alike is important to bolster future energy resilience – an objective that business and government must work together to achieve.

"This should include prioritising catalytic green investment to build long-term energy security, improve home energy efficiency and accelerate the UK's pathway to net zero."

The Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit is providing the secretariat for the commission.

From Trading Update 22nd January 2024:

"Following the appointment of Corteva France as Eden's distribution partner for Mevalone in France (where it is marketed as "Esseva"), Eden made its first commercial sales to Corteva France in 2023.

France represents a significant opportunity for Eden as it is widely recognised for its high-quality agricultural output. France's vineyards are the country's biggest consumers of plant protection products, including fungicides. Although viticulture represents just 3% of France's agricultural land, the sector consumes 20% of the country's fungicides.

There is also the potential to significantly expand the use of Esseva for the treatment of powdery and downy mildews, for which an application was submitted in 2023. It is currently expected that this label expansion application will be granted in 2024, subject to timely approval by the French regulatory authorities."

(Hopefully label expansion will be granted shortly)

The Thule Copper Project is a significant component of Bluejay Mining's portfolio in northwest Greenland, focused on exploring and developing high-grade copper deposits within the Thule Basin in northwest Greenland. Leveraging existing infrastructure and exploration credits, the project is strategically positioned in an underexplored region with substantial mineral potential. Bluejay's established basecamp at Moriusaq will support cost-effective exploration, aligning with the Company's broader strategy to secure high-quality copper and industrial gas projects.

In Finland, Bluejay currently holds three large scale multi-metal projects through its wholly owned subsidiary FinnAust Mining Finland Oy. Bluejay's Finland portfolio includes the Outokumpu project, where the discovery of industrial gases like helium and hydrogen adds significant economic potential to the already prospective copper-nickel-cobalt-zinc-gold-silver targets. Bluejay is planning further exploration to fully assess these resources. Unquote

About Bluejay Mining plc

Bluejay Mining plc, listed on the London AIM market, Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and the U.S. Pink Market, is an exploration and development company focused on high-grade critical metals in Tier 1 jurisdictions. With a diversified portfolio in Greenland and Finland, Bluejay's strategy is centred on advancing key projects while creating value through partnerships and strategic acquisitions.

The Disko-Nuussuaq nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE project in Greenland is a primary focus for Bluejay, developed in partnership with KoBold Metals. Bluejay, through its wholly owned subsidiary Disko Exploration Ltd., has a definitive Joint Venture Agreement with KoBold Metals to guide and fund exploration efforts. The JV has completed intensive analysis and interpretation of the extensive geochemical, geophysical, and geological data collected during the previous exploration campaigns. Leveraging KoBold's proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms, this comprehensive analysis has resulted in the identification of seven initial priority targets within the project area. These seven priority targets exhibit spatial characteristics indicative of potential deposits on a scale comparable to renowned mining operations such as Norilsk, Voisey's Bay, and Jinchuan. The JV is now planning a focused ground-loop electromagnetic survey to refine and prioritize each locality appropriately.

Bluejay's recent acquisition of White Flame Energy expands its portfolio into the energy sector, adding large-scale licenses for industrial gas, natural gas, and liquid hydrocarbons in East Greenland. Approved by shareholders in July 2024, this acquisition diversifies the company's assets and aligns with its strategy to contribute to sustainable energy solutions, while also exploring conventional energy resources.

The Dundas Ilmenite Project, Bluejay's most advanced asset in northwest Greenland, is fully permitted and progressing towards near-term production. With a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource of 117 Mt at 6.1% ilmenite and an offshore Exploration Target of up to 530 Mt, Dundas is poised to become a major supplier of high-quality ilmenite. Recent discoveries of hard rock titanium mineralization, with bedrock samples showing nearly double the ilmenite content of previous estimates, further enhance the project's world-class potential. Bluejay owns 100% of the Dundas Ilmenite Project under its subsidiary Dundas Titanium A/S in Greenland.

The Thule Copper Project is a significant component of Bluejay Mining's portfolio in northwest Greenland, focused on exploring and developing high-grade copper deposits within the Thule Basin in northwest Greenland. Leveraging existing infrastructure and exploration credits, the project is strategically positioned in an underexplored region with substantial mineral potential.

"Earlier this year, we published an article on one possible breakthrough creating interesting chatter among industry executives and government officials alike. In “Natural Hydrogen: Something or Nothing?”, we applied our standard five-question framework to assess the claims that hydrogen exists in massive quantities underground and could potentially be extracted directly. If true, the introduction of a new carbon-free primary energy source into the world’s existing fuel options would indeed be significant. We concluded our analysis as follows:

“We find ourselves more optimistic about the potential for natural hydrogen than we were when we embarked on the research for this piece. There are huge barriers to its eventual commercial development, but they are hardly insurmountable given the size of the prize. We will be keeping close tabs on developments in the field.”

In the six months since we published that piece, momentum around natural hydrogen, also commonly referred to as geologic hydrogen, has continued to grow. Could this technology be the next shale? What recent developments make us think it might? How will environmentalists react if this new source of primary energy proves out? Let’s have another look."

Life leaps like a geyser for those who drill through the rock of inertia.” – Alexis Carrel

In the mid-2000s, soaring natural gas prices in the US triggered a crisis in its heavy manufacturing sector. After staying flat for the prior decade, domestic gas production fell measurably in 2004 and even further in 2005, down more than 5% from the level seen two years earlier. By December of that year, prices at Henry Hub crossed an astonishing $15/mmBTU, a compelling demonstration of the inelasticity of demand for hydrocarbon fuels.

The price spike came on the heels of the publication of Matthew Simmons’ controversial book Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy, a tome that fed a general sense of panic that the world was running out of economically extractable hydrocarbons. Proponents of Simmons’ peak oil conjecture saw validation in the natural gas market, with many warning that this was just the warmup act for a collapse in production of the comparatively more important liquids sector. So convinced was the industry of Armageddon’s arrival that plans to build liquefied natural gas (LNG) import facilities along the US Gulf Coast were announced, and chemical companies jockeyed for investment allocations to hedge their exposure. The sharp price expansion only served to accelerate the construction schedules of such projects.
