Pulsar Helium Engages Sproule-ERCE for Pre-Feasibility Study at the Tunu Helium-Geothermal Project, Greenland
GlobeNewswire News Room· 2025-06-24 06:00
Core Viewpoint - Pulsar Helium Inc. has signed an agreement with Sproule-ERCE to conduct a Pre-Feasibility Study for the Tunu helium-geothermal project in East Greenland, marking a significant milestone for the company as it advances one of the few primary helium occurrences in Europe [1][2]. Company Overview - Pulsar Helium Inc. is a leading helium project development company, publicly traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and the TSX Venture Exchange, with a focus on helium and geothermal energy projects [11]. - The company holds exclusive rights for helium exploration in Greenland, being the first to receive a license for helium exploration in the country [6]. Tunu Project Details - The Tunu Project is located on the east coast of Greenland, near Ittoqqortoormiit, and is notable for helium concentrations in sampled hot springs reaching up to 0.8% [5]. - The project also shows significant geothermal energy prospects, with reservoir temperatures estimated between 80°C and 110°C, allowing for potential cogeneration of power and heat [5]. - A passive seismic survey conducted in 2024 identified two main low-velocity anomaly zones, indicating fractured reservoirs that could trap helium [6]. Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) - The PFS will evaluate existing geothermal opportunities alongside potential helium extraction, utilizing advanced geophysical data interpretation [7]. - The study is led by Sproule-ERCE, which has a strong track record in geothermal resource assessment and project development, having supported over 200 megawatt (MWth) of geothermal heat capacity globally [7]. - The PFS is scheduled for completion by the end of August 2025, providing a robust technical and economic foundation for future project decisions [7]. Strategic Importance - The Tunu project is positioned to support Europe's critical raw materials and clean energy ambitions, with the potential for renewable geothermal power for the local community [4][6]. - The project's location allows for efficient transport of helium to the European market, enhancing its strategic value [6].

Licensing and Regulatory Status - Pulsar holds Special Mineral Exploration Licence 2021-45 and has applied for an exclusive exploration licence for part of the licence area, which is currently in 'License Pending' status [8]. - The new licence will have an initial term of five years, extendable to a maximum of 22 years, subject to certain conditions [8].
Enefit Green production data – May 2025
Globenewswire· 2025-06-13 06:00
Core Insights - Enefit Green's electricity production in May reached 153.2 GWh, a 32% increase compared to the previous year, driven by new wind and solar farms [1][5] - Wind energy production was 122 GWh, marking a 34% increase year-over-year, while solar energy production reached 19.9 GWh, nearly 50% higher than last year [1][3][5] Production Details - The increase in wind energy production was attributed to new wind farms, specifically the Sopi-Tootsi and Kelme I wind farms, along with the Sopi solar farm [1] - Despite the overall increase, downregulations due to low electricity prices resulted in 26.5 GWh of unproduced wind energy, with 14.2 GWh from the Finnish market [2] - Weather conditions negatively impacted wind production by approximately 12.7 GWh, particularly affecting Lithuanian wind farms [2] Segment Performance - The production from new wind farms contributed significantly, with 69.9 GWh produced, a 73.2% increase from last year [5] - Solar energy production was also affected by downregulation, leading to 2.6 GWh unproduced, while weather conditions had a positive impact of +0.3 GWh [3] - The Iru cogeneration plant's electricity production decreased by 6% to 11.2 GWh, and thermal energy production fell by 4.7% to 36.1 GWh [4][5] Country-Specific Production - Estonia saw a significant increase in electricity production, rising by 92.5% to 90.2 GWh, while Lithuania's production increased by 10% to 54.2 GWh [5] - In contrast, Finland experienced a drastic decline in production, down 87.4% to 1.9 GWh [5]

Enefit Green interim report for Q1 2025
Globenewswire· 2025-05-08 06:00
Juhan Aguraiuja, CEO of Enefit Green comments: " In the first quarter, we produced 617 GWh of electricity, which is 25% more than a year earlier, and 105 GWh of thermal energy, which is 19% less. Although electricity production increased, the overall result for the quarter was affected by exceptionally low wind speeds in February. The decrease in thermal energy production was related to the sale of the biomass-based cogeneration and pellet business, which took place at the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2 ...
