LME Clear, the clearing house of the London Metal Exchange (LME<\/strong>) market, has announced that it will now accept offshore Renminbi (RM<\/strong>B) as eligible cash collateral. The announcement follows regulatory approval for the initiative from the Bank of England. According to SWIFT, the RMB is one of the top five global payment currencies. The initiative highlights LME\u2019s commitment to attract and connect market participants from Mainland China and is an example of strengthening of ties between Hong Kong and London. It also represents an important development in the practice of providing tailored clearing services for the global metals industry. Chinese-owned BOCI Global Commodities (UK) Limited will be the first LME Clear member to submit RMB collateral.

NauticAWT IPO expected to raise SGD$2.8m<\/h2>\r\n

Singapore-based NauticAWT Ltd (NauticAWT<\/strong>), a provider of engineering services and contracting solutions to the oil and gas industry, has commenced its initial public offering (IPO<\/strong>) on the Catalist Board of the Singapore Exchange. NauticAWT is hoping to raise net proceeds of SGD$2.8 million (US$2.06 million). NauticAWT will offer 28 million shares at SGD$0.20 per share. 1 million shares will be sold via public offer, while the remaining 27 million shares will form part of a private placement. This IPO was preceded by a merger in March 2015 between AWT International Ltd (AWT<\/strong>) and the Nautic Group to form NauticAWT Energy Solutions Ltd. The AWT-Nautic Group merger was thought to be a part of NauticAWT\u2018s long-term strategy to prepare the company for a potential shift towards renewable energy sources and alternative fuels. NauticAWT is undertaking the IPO to strengthen its position in face of the approaching growth of the energy and oil and gas sectors following the development of the emerging markets of the Indo-Pacific and Asia Pacific regions.

BASF SE (BASF<\/strong>) and OAO Gazprom (Gazprom<\/strong>) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the participation of BASF\u2019s subsidiary Wintershall Holding GmbH (Wintershall<\/strong>) in the expansion of the Nord Stream pipeline.

Austr alian court overturns approval for Carmichael coal mine<\/h2>\r\n

The Australian Network of Environmental Defenders Offices (EDO<\/strong>) has successfully appealed against the Queensland\u2019s Government\u2019s decision to approve the development of Carmichael mine by India\u2019s Adani Group (Adani<\/strong>). The AUS$16.5 billion mining project has the potential to be one of world\u2019s largest coal mines, with an expected annual production capacity of up to 60m tonnes. Adani has also been granted approval to build a new coal port terminal on the Queensland coast to support exports from the mine. The EDO\u2019s appeal cited threats to local fauna, and the fact that mine operations would require 12 billion litres of water per annum which would drain groundwater supplies in the Galilee Basin. The Department of Environment has stated that it will reconsider its original approval in light of the Federal Court ruling but that the court\u2019s decision would not require revisiting the entire approval process.
