There's strong potential to deepen #CriticalRawMaterials cooperation between EU & Kazakhstan.

And, with our Raw Materials Partnership Roadmap, we now have a plan.

Many thanks to Kazakh Ministry of Industry & Infrastructural Development for an excellent presentation.

In Push to Find Methane Leaks, Satellites Gear Up for the Hunt

Stemming the methane leaks from #landfills, #oil fields, natural gas #pipelines and more is one of the most powerful levers we have to quickly slow global warming. New satellites are bolstering this urgent mission by pinpointing emitters of this potent greenhouse gas from space.

By Cheryl Katz • June 15, 2021

"Methane-hunting satellites have made a number of concerning discoveries. Among them: Despite the pandemic, methane emissions from oil and gas operations in #Russia rose 32 percent in 2020. Satellites also observed sizeable releases from gas pipelines in #Turkmenistan, a landfill in #Bangladesh, a natural gas field in #Canada, and coal mines in the U.S. #Appalachian Basin.

"The methane concentration in Earth’s atmosphere has been surging over the past half-decade, the NOAA Annual Greenhouse Gas Index shows. And despite the pandemic, 2020 saw the biggest one-year jump on record. The causes of the recent spike are unclear, but could include natural gas fracking, increased output from methane-producing microbes spurred by rising temperatures, or a combination of human-caused and natural forces."

Kazakhstan has seized the Baikonur spaceport from Roscosmos.

The spaceport, which was constructed when Kazakhstan was part of the Soviet Union, was given to Roscosmos (the legal successor to the Soviet space program) following the USSR’s dissolution.

Despite this agreement, the bailiff agency of Kazakhstan assumed control of the spaceport in order to recoup a debt of two billion rubles owed by Roscosmos.

I have been hearing reports that #Kazakhstan has seized #Roscosmos assets at #Baikonur #cosmodrome The only thing confirmed is the seizure. We don't know how much. Was the whole thing seized, or just buildings.

Baikonur belongs to Kazakhstan. It is leased to #russia who apparently has not been paying their bills.

This is huge. Baikonur is Russia's only spaceport. If they lose it, the blow will be huge.

Kazakhstan has donated another Yurt of Invincibility to Ukraine.

The first, in Bucha, drew ire from Russia, and this new one in Kyiv will likely produce the same result.

Both Yurts have electric generators and can serve as a place for Ukrainians to warm up during power outages.
