DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Sultanate of Oman’s Ministry of Energy and Minerals and Hydrogen Oman (Hydrom) have signed a Joint Study Agreement (JSA) with Port of Amsterdam, Zenith Energy Terminals and GasLog, to collaborate on the development of a liquid hydrogen route to market for green hydrogen produced in the Sultanate of Oman.
Sultanate of Oman signs JSA for the development of a green hydrogen corridor between Oman and the Netherlands
The Agreement underscores the clear ambitions of the partners to make the world’s first commercial scale liquid hydrogen corridor a reality. The Agreement was signed at the Omani Pavilion during COP28 in Dubai, with His Excellency the Minister Eng. Salim bin Nasser Al Aufi and the Climate Envoy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Prince Jaime de Bourbon de Parme, as official witnesses of the ceremony.
The Agreement entails conducting a detailed assessment of the requirements to develop an open-access hydrogen liquefaction, storage and export facility in the Sultanate of Oman, along with the provision of specialised vessels for the transportation of the liquid hydrogen, currently under development by GasLog. The primary aim of the Agreement is to establish a green hydrogen corridor between the Sultanate of Oman and the Netherlands, with the terminal of Zenith Energy as the destination for the import, regasification and further distribution of Oman-produced hydrogen to both local offtakers within the port of Amsterdam, as well as large industries in the European hinterland. The open-access liquefaction facility will also enable the government of the Sultanate of Oman to explore cost effective hydrogen export corridors to other global markets.
Guided by Oman’s Vision 2040, which is anchored on diversifying its economy away from oil and gas, as well as the country’s long-term goal to reach Net-Zero by 2050, the government of the Sultanate of Oman has pursued a hydrogen strategy that seeks to capitalise on the country’s abundant (wind and sun) natural resources and existing port and industrial infrastructures. Moreover, its geographical location puts Oman in a prime position to supply the European and the Asian markets. Hydrom is orchestrating the overall development of the Omani hydrogen sector and is responsible for master-planning, managing the allocation of government lands to hydrogen developers and overseeing the execution of projects. The open-access facility for liquefaction would unlock great potential for these projects, offering liquid hydrogen as a viable vector that can be utilised by individual projects for export.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 December 2023 – Latest Google survey revealed parents’ concerns and changing behaviours when it comes to safeguarding children’s safety online. In Hong Kong, over 8 out of 10 (82.6%) children spend 1 to 6 hours per day online, following Malaysia (83.8%) and India (82.8%) – the third-highest across 12 markets in Asia Pacific. With digital technology and internet continue to blend in children’s everyday life, 72.4% of parents in Hong Kong are confident in engaging their child on the topic of online safety, yet over half (52.8%) of them expressed that it is difficult to find age-appropriate, easy-to-understand examples to discuss online safety with the kids.
On Saturday, December 2, WebOrganic held the “Be a Smarter Digital Citizen” Recognition Ceremony cum Fun Day, where over 70 celebrated the completion of the programme promoting their digital literacy. The event was joined by (from left to right) Joyce Lai, Assistant Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Corporate Communications and Compliance) Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Kingsley Wong, Deputy Government Chief Information Officer of the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer, the Hon Duncan Chiu, Legislative Council Member, Technology & Innovation Constituency, Joyce Ho, Acting General Manager (HKCSS-Information Technology Resource Centre), Michael Yue, General Manager, Sales & Operations, Google Hong Kong, and Betty Wong, Regional Corporate Communications Manager, Asia Pacific, Google.
Recognition Ceremony cum Fun Day celebrated joint effort between Google Hong Kong and HKCSS’s WebOrganic on promoting online safety, officiated by LegCo member and government body
Realising the shared vision of promoting media literacy and online safety awareness among local children and youths and their parents, Google Hong Kong have teamed up with The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS)’s WebOrganic on the “Be a Smarter Digital Citizen” programme. Leveraging Google resources and tools, WebOrganic held talks with 300 parents and children in Hong Kong on how to talk about online safety with children, with topics ranging from identifying internet scams, fake news and the optimal methods to prevent online frauds since February 2023, marking the Safer Internet Day. The programme also engaged with 1,000 students through WebOrganic’s school network, targeting to reach 3,000 in December after school examinations, through a series of videos (Primary & Secondary School Groups) developed with the support of Google.org, followed by completing worksheets and discussions to ensure they well understand the crucial concept of online safety.
Kingsley Wong, Deputy Government Chief Information Officer of the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO), said as he officiated at the Safer Internet Day 2023 – “Be a Smarter Digital Citizen” Recognition Ceremony cum Fun Day on Saturday, December 2: “The OGCIO has been working closely with various stakeholders to raise public awareness on cyber security through various promotional activities, including producing leaflets and radio announcements on different themes, organising seminars and competitions, and holding seminars in schools and different organisations, with a view to assist them to protect themselves in the digital world. In addition, the Government has provided a wide range of online resources with tips and techniques on defending against cyber-attacks, frauds and cyber-bullying through various channels, including the Cyber Security Information Portal and the InfoSec of the OGCIO, thereby helping the public recognise frauds and online traps.”
Joyce Lai, Assistant Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Corporate Communications and Compliance) at the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD), said at the same event: “The ‘Be a Smarter Digital Citizen’ programme aims to empower children, youths and their families with knowledge about online safety amidst the rapid technological advancement in our society. This is very much in line with one of the key focuses of the PCPD this year – Protecting Personal Data Privacy for a Smart Hong Kong.”
The Hon Duncan Chiu, Legislative Council Member, Technology & Innovation Constituency, officiated the same event and remarked: “Organisations such as the HKCSS are well positioned to connect members of the public and provide resources to enhance Hong Kongers’ digital literacy as they increasingly use digital applications in daily life. ”
Michael Yue, General Manager, Sales & Operations, Google Hong Kong, remarked at the opening of the event: “Every day, billions of people rely on Google products and services to find information and stay connected. We’re committed to building a safer internet, and everything we do for everyone, including kids and families, is created to empower, designed to respect, and built to protect. In addition to the products and features that are built with secure-by-default in mind and advanced with AI; in Hong Kong, as we continue to fuel Hong Kong to become a Smarter Digital City, we’re delighted to have teamed up with The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) on our Safer with Google journey to promote media literacy and awareness of online safety among local youths and families, by leveraging our educational resources.”
Joyce Ho, Acting General Manager (HKCSS-Information Technology Resource Centre), said: “WebOrganic and Google Hong Kong share the same mission to educate and empower local youths and families on the significance of online safety. The ‘Be a Smarter Digital Citizen’ programme, entailing a series of talks, workshops as well as an engaging video campaign, have been empowering parents with internet usage strategies and promoting best practices from existing tools while enhancing children and youth’s awareness of their responsibilities and risks as digital citizens; through 300 sharing talks since September 2023, we have successfully kept children and parents informed about digital safety, with 80% of the participants agreed that they have improved in knowledge of misinformation and digital literacy. More works are in progress; we look forward to inspiring more children and families about the importance of online safety and cybersecurity.”
Google resources and secure-by-default features answer parents’ unwavering need to keep children safer online
Despite Hong Kong children ranked the third highest among APAC in terms of the time spending online daily, as revealed in Google’s latest survey on online safety, parents in Hong Kong do see the growing use of technology and its benefits to children as they can teach their children about online safety (67.1%), help their children explore unique interest (58.9%) and find high-quality educational content for their children (55.6%). As such, more than 7 out of 10 (72.2%) responded parents in Hong Kong expect to change rules for internet use as their children grow. 6 out of 10 parents in Hong Kong expect to use more online learning tools as their children grow. Google’s resources are here to help parents manage their relationship with technology and enable them to create healthy, positive digital habits:
Family Link: the new Family Link webpage for Hong Kong is an easy-to-use app to help establish digital ground rules that allows parents to manage their child’s account and devices as they explore online. Parents can set screen-time limits, manage the content their child can see and know their location when they have their device with them.
Be Internet Awesometoolkit: developed in partnership with The Net Safety Collaborative and iKeepSafe.org and available in Traditional Chinese, the curriculum, together with the Family Pledge, is designed to help parents teach children the skills they need to stay smart and safe online.
Gamified and engaging video content created for children: the free Interland game is filled with quests inspiring children to become a confident explorer of the online world, while YouTube Kids provides a more contained environment for kids to explore YouTube and makes it easier for parents and caregivers to guide their journey
With over two-thirds (67.5%) of parents in Hong Kong saying that their children have been exposed to inappropriate content online at least once, Google makes technology work for your family, with secure-by-default in mind. The new SafeSearch feature is now turned on by default for signed-in users under 18, which automatically blurs explicit imagery, such as adult or graphic violent content, meanwhile YouTube, as a platform giving everyone a voice and showing them the world, upholds five core principles to protect the entire community; we have also been leveraging machine learning technology, combining with human reviews, to remove over 2.5 million videos violating our child safety policies in Q2 2023, in which 69% of the machine-detected violent videos on YouTube had fewer than 10 views before being removed.

Evercomm Singapore climate tech company awarded COP28 UAE TechSprint award presented by the UAE central bank governor today
Evercomm’s AI-powered platform delivers a one-two punch: significant emissions reduction and substantial cost savings
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 December 2023 – Representing Singapore on the COP28 stage in Dubai today, Evercomm was awarded the COP28 UAE TechSprint award presented by the UAE central bank governor. Evercomm Singapore won for best technology solutions that are easy to implement in real-world scenarios to address the challenge of scaling up climate action through innovative technology solutions in sustainable finance within the category IoT and Sensor Technologies. Today, the winners will present their business case solutions at the COP28 Blue Zone Digital Innovation pavilion.
Evercomm’s award-winning technology, built on the Internet of Things (IoT) and sensor technologies, provides a platform for collecting, integrating, and comparing data from various sources. The software helps companies track and disclose greenhouse gas emissions correctly and verifiably. Clients can upload evidence on the platform, which makes third-party assurance audits more cost-effective and faster than traditional carbon audits. The platform’s calculation methodology is based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Its proprietary software adheres to rigorous standards, surpassing many in-house methodologies. Evercomm also partners with industry leaders such as Mitsubishi Electric to scale their industrial deployment across Asia-Pacific to measure, track, and reduce their carbon footprint and identify greenhouse gas emission hotspots.
Rigorous Standards Compliance: Adherence to GHG Protocol, ISO 14064-1, and ISO 14064-2 ensures the highest accuracy and reliability.
Verified by Bureau Veritas: The platform’s credibility is further enhanced through verification by Bureau Veritas, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Advanced Statistical Algorithm: The technology incorporates an algorithm to evaluate data quality, preventing the contamination of readings from faulty sensors and mitigating the risk of greenwashing.
Transparency and Auditing: Emissions are verified at the source and can be audited by third parties, significantly reducing the potential for false information and greenwashing.
Chen Chiu-Hao (Ted), CEO of Evercomm, emphasises the alignment of its technology with MAS’s recent launch of the Singapore-Asia Taxonomy initiative. “Singapore’s long-term economic growth depends on innovation, with solutions scalable to international markets. Our technology answers the challenge for more credible transition and emissions where it is most needed today – for sectors struggling to reduce emissions due to technological constraints.
Under Project NovA!, a collaboration with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), Evercomm is refining AI-based applications for specific industries to accelerate decarbonisation.
Because climate accountability stakes are higher than ever for industries, AI-driven authenticity, and the quality of net zero solution recommendations are essential to curtailing human involvement and potential biases in data collection and analysis.
“Most carbon accounting firms lack native digital verification; for this reason, our solutions can interfere with the validation engine of IoT sensors to verify the data quality at the source level, further strengthening data accuracy and speed”, explains Chen Chiu-Hao (Ted), CEO of Evercomm.
Demonstrated Environmental and Business Benefits:
Up to 30% CO2 Reduction: Evercomm’s technology offers businesses a substantial reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
Up to 40% Energy Savings: Businesses can achieve significant energy savings by implementing Evercomm’s innovative technology.
Capital and Operational Expenditure Reduction: The AI tool provides up to 30% associated capital expenditure (CAPEX) reduction and up to 15% operational expenditure (OPEX) reduction.
Enhanced Data Authenticity and Productivity: Evercomm’s proprietary software increases data authenticity by up to 90% while boosting productivity in carbon accounting by up to 80%.
Streamlined Compliance Reporting: Cognizant of the urgency for speed to meet targets, compliance reporting is expedited, saving up to 80% of the time and 50% of the cost for net-zero planning, offering the ability for new companies access to greener commerce in less than two weeks.
