Tulum Energy rediscovered a forgotten hydrogen tech and used it to raise $27M
It was a mistake that was ahead of its time. Between 2002 and 2005, engineers with the Techint Group were trying to dial in a new electric arc furnace for a steelmaker when they noticed something odd. The carbon electrodes, rather than breaking down, were growing larger. The team had inadvertently created what's known as a pyrolysis reaction, which is basically burning something in the absence of oxygen. In this case, the furnace was splitting methane into pure hydrogen and pure carbon. The team reported their discovery internally and then, basically, forgot about it. 'Back then, nobody cared because nobody cared about methane pyrolysis, about hydrogen,' Massimiliano Pieri, CEO of Tulum Energy, told TechCrunch. The experiment was largely forgotten for the next 20 years. But a couple of years ago, investors for the Techint Group's corporate VC arm, TechEnergy Ventures, were scouring the landscape for new ways to produce hydrogen from methane without the usual pollution. Techint's investors didn't have to look far. 'Someone in the company realized, 'But we already have that. We have this discovery,'' Pieri said. So the conglomerate dusted off the idea and spun out Tulum to turn the accidental discovery into a viable business. Recently, Tulum closed an oversubscribed $27 million seed round led by TDK Ventures and CDP Venture Capital, the company exclusively told TechCrunch. Doral Energy-Tech Ventures, MITO Tech Ventures, and TechEnergy Ventures participated. Tulum isn't the only startup pursuing methane pyrolysis as a way to produce hydrogen. Modern Hydrogen, Molten Industries, and Monolith are among Tulum's competitors. The reaction has attracted attention for its ability to produce hydrogen from cheap, widely available natural gas without any carbon dioxide emissions. In pyrolysis, methane is broken down in the absence of oxygen, the only products are hydrogen gas and a dust of solid carbon, both of which can be sold. But Tulum differs in a few ways. For one, it doesn't need to use expensive catalysts to encourage the pyrolysis reaction, which some of its competitors require. In its use of the electric arc furnace, Tulum is also using a widely used — if modified — technology. 'This gives you a big head start,' Pieri said. Tulum will use the seed funding to build a pilot plant in Mexico alongside an existing Techint Group steel plant. If all goes well, the steel plant could buy hydrogen and carbon directly from Tulum for use in its operations. Pieri said that at full-scale production, a commercial plant would generate two tons of hydrogen and 600 tons of carbon per day. Tulum is hoping its commercial scale plant will produce one kilogram of hydrogen for about $1.50 in the U.S., where electricity and natural gas are both cheap. At that price, it's just 50 cents more than most hydrogen made from natural gas today, and it significantly undercuts some of the leading green hydrogen methods. That's before the company sells any carbon that its process generates. Not bad for an almost forgotten mistake.

Profits at the Macallan's Parent Company Dropped 26% This Year
The Macallan is one of the most popular and recognizable scotch whisky brands in the world, but even this esteemed single malt distillery might be facing some tough times ahead. According to a recent article that ran at the website Scottish Financial News, the Macallan's parent company, Edrington, reported that its profits were down by 26 percent and core revenue down by 10 percent as of March of this year, part of a continuing trend of worrying news for the global spirits industry. In financial terms, that is the equivalent of £274.4 million in pre-tax profits and £912 million in revenue, which the company is blaming on 'reduced consumer demand' over the past financial year. 'After several years of unprecedented growth for premium spirits and industry-leading results posted by Edrington, the business felt the full effect of the global economic downturn during the year,' said CEO Scott McCroskie, according to Scottish Financial News. 'Looking ahead, the political and economic backdrop remains volatile, which we expect will continue to weigh on consumer sentiment in the coming year. We believe top-line growth will be difficult to come by in this environment, although adjustments to overheads and brand investment are expected to align net sales and core contribution more closely next year.'

The terms of the sale were not disclosed, but new the new owner expressed a great deal of enthusiasm about the acquisition, saying that it sees a lot of potential in the lesser known Naked Malt brand. There were some bright spots for Edrington despite this news, however. Sales of the Macallan showed strength as the company said that its 200th anniversary year was the second-highest ever for sales, with Asia posting positive numbers in particular (specifically South Korea, Japan, and China, where the distillery's 12-, 15-, and 18-year-old expressions remain popular), and Brugal Rum showed strength in the Dominican Republic where it is produced. Going forward, Edrington says it will continue its strategy of focusing on ultra-premium spirits and will 'continue to… strengthen our brands and our business for the long-term benefit of our investors, our employees, and those who benefit from our own and our principal shareholder's charitable activities.' It remains to be seen if that will be enough to boost sales over the coming year, but we will continue to report on this news over the coming year.

‘Shovel-ready' renewables prioritised as grid connections queue gets shake-up
New 'shovel-ready' wind and solar farms will be prioritised to connect to the grid, operators said as they kickstarted moves to shake up the gridlocked connections queue. The existing first-come, first-served approach to the grid connections queue, which operators say has led to unviable and speculative schemes holding up clean energy projects that are ready to plug in, has been scrapped. The National Energy System Operator (Neso) said it was opening a three-week application window on Tuesday for more than 5,000 energy generation and demand projects in the queue to submit evidence to support their connection to the grid as it undertakes a major reordering of the system. The new plan will see clean energy projects that can be up and running by 2030 prioritised, in a bid to help Labour hit its goal to near fully powering the country with clean electricity by the end of the decade, and to boost economic growth. Neso said the connections queue had grown tenfold in just five years, and currently stands at 738 gigawatts (GW) – more than four times the amount of clean energy generation that is required by 2030 to meet Government goals. The assessment process, which will prioritise projects on the basis of how ready they are and alignment with the UK's clean energy goals, aims to connect the 170 GW of power needed by 2030. Kayte O'Neill, chief operating officer, National Energy System Operator, said: 'Neso opening the evidence window today is a key moment in the once-in-a-lifetime transformation of our electricity network, and a vital step for delivering clean power by 2030, while also helping supercharge economic growth for Great Britain. 'By prioritising agreements for projects that are critical and shovel-ready, developers will get the certainty they need to support investment decisions. 'It also gives energy consumers, from households and hospitals to electric car charging stations and data centres, the confidence of clean and stable power for generations to come. 'We advise all applicants to ensure they submit the correct evidence, so that we can assess applications fully and fairly.' Energy minister Michael Shanks said: 'Today marks a milestone in our work to overhaul the connections queue and unleash ready-to-go clean power projects that will help us reach our 2030 target. 'Developers in the queue now have the chance to demonstrate to Neso that their projects are ready to progress.' He added the move would take Britain closer to an energy system that takes the country 'off the rollercoaster of global fossil fuel markets and can bring bills down for good'. Applicants in the queue have until July 29 to submit evidence, with those meeting the criteria placed in a 'gate 2' queue and receiving an updated connection offer, prioritising those due to connect in 2026 and 2027. Neso said it aims to have made all offers for projects needed to meet the 2030 goals by early next year. Those who do not meet the criteria will get a 'gate 1' offer, remaining in the system but without a connection date. They can reapply through future biannual application windows or withdraw their scheme.
