Presidential campaign of Mongolia's ruling party turns online due to pandemic www.xinhuanet.com

June 6 (Xinhua) -- The ruling Mongolian People's Party (MPP) has decided to move its presidential campaign online, by using only online platforms and media amid the raging COVID-19 pandemic.
"Starting from today, the MPP is suspending any form of election campaigning that could lead to surging COVID-19 infections. The election campaign will continue only online and in the media in the remaining days," announced Dashzeveg Amarbayasgalan, general secretary of the MPP, on Facebook.
The country's presidential election will be held Wednesday with three candidates registered for the race, namely Ukhnaa Khurelsukh, MPP chairman, Sodnomzundui Erdene, former chairman of the opposition Democratic Party, and Dangaasuren Enkhbat, former legislator.
The MPP's new move came after Enkhbat, who is the candidate from the political alliance the Right Person Electorate Coalition, has tested positive and urged his two rivals to turn campaigns online.
Mongolia has seen a recent increase in daily test positivity rate, and the report of over 1,000 infections on a daily basis.

Mongolia confirms 1st child death from COVID-19 www.xinhuanet.com

June 6 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia's health ministry on Sunday reported four deaths from COVID-19, including an eight-year-old girl, the country's first child fatality from the virus.
So far the disease has claimed 325 lives in Mongolia since the country's first case was reported in March last year.
The national tally climbed to 65,266 with 1,288 more reported, and total recoveries rose to 53,780 as 185 more patients had recovered, according to the ministry.
The daily test positivity rate of COVID-19 has been increasing significantly, the ministry said, urging the public to follow health guidelines.
The Asian country launched a nationwide vaccination campaign against COVID-19 in late February, with the aim of covering at least 60 percent of its population of 3.3 million.
More than 1,510,000 Mongolians have been fully vaccinated, according to the ministry.

Buffett and Gates are building nuclear plant in coal country www.rt.com

Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have chosen a top U.S. coal-producing state as the location for a new kind of nuclear reactor, using Natrium as its power source.
The natrium power plant, with an anticipated cost of $1 billion, will repurpose a coal plant for its operations in Wyoming, with the exact location to be announced by the end of 2021. The partners hope this will help the U.S. on its way to a carbon-zero future.
The development consists of a 345-megawatt sodium-cooled fast reactor with molten salt-based energy storage that could boost the system’s power output to 500MW during peak power demand. This would provide enough energy to power as many as 400,000 homes.
The project will be overseen by TerraPower and Pacificorp, founded by Gates and Buffett respectively. TerraPower has been key in exploring the potential of Natrium power as the US energy department awarded the company $80 million in funding last year to demonstrate the potential power of this chemical.
“We think Natrium will be a game-changer for the energy industry,” Gates stated of the project.
President and CEO of TerraPower, Chris Levesque, adds “We need this kind of clean energy on the grid in the 2030s.”
Some experts are critiquing the plans, warning that advanced reactors may present a higher risk than their conventional counterparts. Reactor fuel needs to be enriched at a higher rate than conventional fuel, making the supply chain a potential target for groups trying to build a crude nuclear weapon.
However, advanced nuclear reactors have simpler designs than typical reactors, making them easier to build, more fuel-efficient, cheaper, and safer.

Russia & China agree to expand joint nuclear energy project
Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon believes “This is our fastest and clearest course to becoming carbon negative,” stating, "Nuclear power is clearly a part of my all-of-the-above strategy for energy.”
The project is expected to provide on-demand, no-carbon energy, as well as providing hundreds of short and long-term jobs in construction and plant operations. This will give a much-needed boost to Wyoming’s job sector following two decades of coal plant closures.
While two out of every three nuclear power reactors globally are scheduled for retirement in the near future, the U.S. is still investing heavily in nuclear power. For example, the Vogtle nuclear power plant in Georgia is expected to commence commercial operation in November 2021, at an estimated cost of $28 billion. It seems that despite a movement away from nuclear power in recent years we cannot overlook its potential as a global energy leader.

End of Moscow’s reliance on gas & oil? Russia's solar power potential means it could become world's green-energy leader – expert
Following a decade of decline after major disasters such as Fukushima in 2011, which obliterated Japan’s nuclear power program, two countries, Belarus and the United Arab Emirates have recently commissioned new nuclear power plants. In addition, Japan is aiming to reintroduce nuclear capacities, with at least 5 safety-upgraded reactors expected to be recommissioned by 2025.
The Middle East and South Asia are expected to boost their nuclear power production by the end of the decade, with Turkey, Egypt, Bangladesh, China, and India all investing in nuclear reactors. This has sent uranium stocks up since late 2020, with two leading US-listed uranium miners, Uranium Energy Corp. and Cameco Corporation, both experiencing a steady climb.
Despite the recent decline in nuclear power, plans to invest in the recommissioning of existing reactors and develop new ones suggest that nuclear energy is not yet dead. Further, if Gates and Buffett are successful in developing their Natrium advanced reactor is could lead the way for future projects.

Russia-China trade turnover may reach $200 BILLION by 2024, Putin says www.rt.com

The volume of trade between Russia and China is expected to amount to $200 billion in three years, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who says relations between Moscow and Beijing are now at an unprecedented level.
“I think we could reach the level of $200 billion, as we agreed, as soon as by 2024,” Putin said, speaking at an annual economic forum in St. Petersburg.
He pointed out that Russia-China trade turnover had totaled $104 billion by the end of 2020, exceeding the targeted $100 billion.
Although the economic disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic didn’t prevent the mutual trade volume from reaching this milestone, the turnover in 2020 was down almost 3% against the previous pre-pandemic year.
Nonetheless, trade between the two nations saw a nearly 20% year-on-year surge in the first four months of 2021, reaching $40.207 billion.

Anglo American flags restarts of Australian metallurgical coal mines www.mining.com

Anglo American said on Thursday that it has restarted underground mining at its Moranbah North coal mine in northern Queensland state after it withdrew its workforce from the mine following a reading of elevated gases on Feb. 20.
Mining development activities at its Grosvenor mine, in central Queensland’s Bowen Basin, have also resumed this week, as part of the mine’s staged restart of underground mining operations following an explosion in May 2020 that critically injured five workers, it said in a statement.
SIGN UP FOR THE ENERGY DIGEST
“I would like to thank our workforces at Moranbah North and Grosvenor mines for their patience and dedication in actioning a range of measures to ensure a safe return to mining activities,” Chief Executive of Anglo American’s Metallurgical Coal business, Tyler Mitchelson, said.
He said that Anglo would continue with its plans to improve safety via automation and instituting remote working operations.
The two mines accounted for almost half of Anglo American’s met coal, or steel-making coal, production in 2019. Grosvenor produced 4.7 million tonnes in 2019. Moranbah North produced 4.43 million tonnes of met coal in 2020, down from 6.15 million tonnes in 2019.
