The Thorium Network – Newsletter #1 for 2020

We are now into 2020 and the second half of last year has been a busy one for us at The Thorium Network (TTN). As we head into a new decade, we feel that the world has not progressed much in terms of effectively combating, or at least planning to combat climate change. The latest World Economic Forum report, The Net Zero Challenge (Part 1), highlights that only seven governments worldwide currently have ambitions on climate action that could realistically support efforts to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. My own country, Australia, alas falls woefully behind. This shows that we need to really step up our efforts in driving tangible actions for a better future. TTN was started with the main purpose of developing an economy for new clean energy from Thorium as we acutely understand that the current state of energy production is unsustainable, beyond as little as 20 years. We believe that this can be alleviated through the mainstream adoption of Thorium as a new baseload power and building of a reliable and cost-efficient supply chain platform. Our team has expanded considerably, with well-experienced individuals across various fields, and second-tier connections extending even further, giving us much more than the basic building blocks to rapidly make this a reality. The one common thread bringing us all together is our passion for making a major global difference. I hope everyone had a a Happy New Year. We look forward to 2020 ahead and delivering Thorium to the world. Jeremiah Founder & CEO

What You Should Know Thorium energy output According to the US Energy Information Administration International Energy Outlook 2019 (IEO 2019), world energy consumption will rise nearly 50% between 2018 and 2050. Given that there is more than 1,000 years worth of Thorium supply on our planet, it is hard to ignore the viability of Thorium as a primary energy source. Read more Thorium availability in nature In nature, Thorium is about three times more abundant than uranium. We also know many countries that have existing stocks of Thorium not being used for any purpose. Thorium sources are closer to home than most people realise. Read more TTN Updates After a stringent recruitment exercise, TTN is now ready to go full steam into the new year with a global team of deeply experienced individuals in various fields, driving its purpose. Meet the team here. The TTN website has a new look! In the new year, we aim to deliver news and updates about thorium and our project through this informative website. Check out the new look website here.  TTN is currently closing the private contributions stage. An IEO will be launched next year, where the TTN token will be backed by the Thorium delivered on the secured TTN blockchain-based platform. Those who are interested in getting involved early should contact us at admin@thethoriumnetwork.com. It is advantageous to support the project early as you may miss out when we enter the IEO phase.

The Thorium Network – Newsletter #2 for 2020

The first month of 2020 is almost over, and we have kept the momentum in achieving our goals for The Thorium Network (TTN) as the urgency to act is now more than ever. The annual World Economic Forum Davos meeting came around again last week and a no-holds barred Special Address by Angela Merkel covered a range of topics including the reiteration that we are under pressure and need to act to combat climate change.  Importantly, she spoke about the shake-up in Germany’s energy mix, where they have taken the decision to first exit from old tech energy due to the long-term unsustainable waste management. With a focus on having electricity generation supply changed to being CO2 free, Germany is looking have 65% renewable energy by 2030.  This has been the only option so far and in Merkel’s words, Germany is a country where “the sun is not always shining and the wind is not always blowing”, which brings along another set of challenges. We are more certain than ever that Thorium adoption needs to happen now, to be part of the clean energy mix.  The January World Economic Forum insight report, The Net Zero Challenge: Fast-Forward to Decisive Climate Action, starts off by stating how demand for energy is expected to continue to grow by more than 25% between now and 2040. Much of that energy is consumed by emerging economies that are investing in carbon-heavy projects to boost economic growth. We know that only seven governments worldwide are taking the lead with tangible action plans to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. It is a small number, but it is growing: before COP25, it was only 67 of the UN’s 193 member states who had a net-zero ambition in place. The number has now increased to 121. With TTN developing a sustainable new clean energy economy from Thorium, we are confident that these goals will be achieved as planned.2020 has only just begun, and we are another step closer to deliver Thorium to the world.  Jeremiah   Founder & CEO

What You Should Know Japan and Poland partner up in Energy, Communication and Infrastructure The two countries agreed last week to extend collaboration in an effort to further produce low-carbon energy. The summit’s purpose was to solidify their strategic partnership. Read more     Photo via AFP / Associated Press / East News Scotland will reach 100% renewable energy goal in 2020, but will it be enough for Greta Thunberg? Fossil fuels are one of the biggest contributors to climate change, and eliminating a country’s dependence on fossil fuels can be a step in the right direction. But is it really enough? Read more Photo via Sandra Blaser/World Economic Forum/Flickr TTN Updates The TTN team was in Davos last week and is actively engaging with the WEF Blockchain and Distributed Ledger team, as part of our commitment to build a Thorium supply chain that is transparent, secure and efficient.
