“As the global race for critical minerals intensifies, it’s easy to overlook environmental costs when supply chains don’t have real solutions to the problem of toxic or radioactive waste. But in the long term, such projects will lose public support and jeopardise an industry that is vital to the green transition and national security.”
Our Head of External Affairs, Ryan Bloxsom, was this week featured in The Strategist, the commentary and analysis site of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. In a piece co-authored with ASPI’s Eric Lies about how Australia can lead the world in clean energy waste management, Ryan and Eric noted our nation’s natural advantages:
“Thanks to a dry climate, low seismic activity, and sparsely populated areas, Australia is well positioned to build an industrial capacity in clean energy waste management and manage waste produced domestically as well as that of strategic partners.”
At Tellus, we’re grasping this opportunity.
Obtaining our own social licence to operate has delivered Australia’s first low level radioactive waste facility to protect communities all over Australia.
And using that licence, we’re here to play our part for our customers too, helping them to deliver projects with end-to-end sustainable environmental credentials that will pave the way for our global green future. Tellus is safeguarding your green future.
The article was inspired by discussion at a Clean Energy and Waste Roundtable featuring Tellus’ Nate Smith and Steve Hosking, hosted by Adam L. at ASPI’s Washington DC office earlier this year.
