KUALA LUMPUR, April 26 (Bernama) — Clear Hydrogen UK Ltd (CHUK) has announced an expansion of its agreement with Proton Technologies.

The plan is to produce Clear Hydrogen from the UK’s aging offshore oil assets while sequestering vast amounts of CO2 as solid carbonate within the same systems.

According to a statement, Proton has the lowest-cost method for producing Clear Hydrogen, which is the most environmentally-friendly and lowest cost method to make hydrogen.

Chairman of Proton Technologies, Grant Strem said “Our mission is to proliferate this hugely-scalable clean energy technology worldwide as fast as we can afford to. We like partnering with decisive and capable groups like CHUK to fill offtake deals already in advanced discussions.

“Adapting Proton’s hardware solutions to an offshore setting is easily within the technical grasp of experts in the UK, and this partnership with CHUK is good news for the environment and the UK economy generally.”

Meanwhile, Chairman of CHUK Hertford King said: “We look forward to the jobs and economic security this will bring to the UK using Proton’s low cost, carbon negative technology to leverage the equipment, assets, offshore knowledge, and people who already support the UK’s offshore energy production.

In 2021, CHUK’s founders invested C$3.7 million in Proton to obtain a 20-tonne per day production licence for use in the UK and Ireland. The expansion announced is 250x larger, giving an implied total licence value as high as C$925 million for 5,000 tonnes per day. (C$1 = RM3.42)

Terms include 45 per cent ownership of CHUK going to Proton, who will be providing increased technical support and governance oversight to CHUK’s team. Two of CHUK’s founders will also be joining the board of Proton.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 (Bernama) — April is the best time to view peach blossoms in Pinggu District, a conservation area located in the northeast of Beijing, at the junction of Beijing, Tianjin city and Hebei province.

According to a statement, thousands of hectares of peach trees are blooming in Pinggu District, which is known for its peaches across the country, turning a large portion of the eastern part of the city into a sea of pink.

In recent years, Pinggu District has been advancing its ‘three zones and one port’ positioning strategy, implementing a development model with high-tech agriculture, large logistics flows, and new leisure forms as its core, and practising the principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets in an innovative way.

Peach blossoms, one of the biggest attractions in Pinggu District in the spring, are a truly spectacular sight that any spring chaser should not miss.

The best time to see Pinggu’s peach blossoms is in mid-to-late April. Visitors can plan their own custom Pinggu itinerary to make the most of the spectacular pink sea.

Pinggu is the largest peach producing base in China and the largest fruit producing area in the capital city. It has become one of the best places to visit for citizens in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei during springtime or leisure time.

With this unique advantage, the content of the Pinggu Peach Blossom Festival has expanded from flower viewing and spring outing to include traditional culture, music, leisure, sports, and food culture.
