CALGARY, Alberta-Thursday 11 March 2021 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Proton Technologies began separating hydrogen again in late February at their project in Saskatchewan, Canada. The new separation unit is for multi-year hydrogen filter longevity and iteration testing, with hydrogen truck-loading expected later this year. Liquid oxygen is scheduled to be trucked in for injection at modest but still commercial scale. At the demonstration site production is expected to reach one thousand tonnes hydrogen per day after construction of a large air separation unit.

Hydrogen is a carbonless fuel which creates no CO2 when used. Proton has a way to make clean hydrogen at an anticipated production cost below $0.30 US per kg with a lower carbon intensity than wind or solar to electrolysis. Oil fields are not abandoned because they are empty, rather they have reached an economic limit but much of the oil remains in the ground. Proton’s process involves injecting oxyge ... Read more »

BEIJING-Thursday 11 March 2021 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Britain's communications regulator Ofcom has been criticized for its decision to ban and fine China Global Television Network (CGTN) for political reasons.

A group of journalists, filmmakers and artists recently challenged Ofcom's "act of censorship" in an open letter published by the No Cold War campaign and the Morning Star.

"The decision by Ofcom to remove the broadcasting license of CGTN is an act of censorship which is not in the interests of Britain and its people," the open letter said, calling the move an "attack on free speech."

Ofcom revoked the license of CGTN to broadcast in the UK in early February on the grounds of its ultimate control and its political attributes. Beijing slammed the move as political repression against Chinese media.

In their letter, the signatories questioned Ofcom's justification for banning CGTN.
