David Frances, Managing Director of Province Resources Limited (ASX: PRL) on a De-risked ESG Business in Green Hydrogen
Investors out there, imagine a totally de-risked project.
You don't have to wait for Christmas to ask for that from Santa Claus. Firstly, it is not a myth, it is possible. And it already exists right here.
That is why today's story is one of the most Compelling ASX Stories that Samso has ever had.
And the key elements for that are Green Hydrogen and a De-risked ESG Business.
Noel Ong, CEO of Samso is excited about this story, and rightly so. He has a good feeling about Province Resources Limited (ASX:PRL). They are set to ride an energy wave and they are probably already sprinting ahead.
Noel ponders about what it was like to buy into Woolworths when it listed. He remembers subscribing to the IPO and calling the broker every week asking what it was doing. The company share price started the IPO around the $2.50 mark and it is now at $40 per share, with a market capitalisation of AUD50B.
Now, Woodside is worth AUD21.23B and they are in a sunset industry. Noel still remembers them in the 1990s, the new emerging energy company.
The business of Green Hydrogen has just started and a company like Province Resources with a market capitalisation of approximately AUD150M is actually cheap considering that the likes of Woodside are worth billions.
David Frances shares with us the company's unique Green Hydrogen story here, and talks in-depth about what Hydrogen really is.
Hydrogen is Not Hydrogen. The only thing that will kill this industry will be the Government. ESG is here to stay. - David Frances
Province Resources Limited is about a totally de-risked business. While it is pending some direction from the government, it is something to get excited about. Mr. Frances really goes in-depth in this episode and there are definitely lots of noteworthy bits to jot down.
