Automobile manufacturing is resource-intensive, requiring a substantial amount of raw materials sourced from all over the globe. Their journey from extraction to your driveway is complex, and as more esoteric metals are needed for batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) and for other sophisticated featu...
As electricity demand rises around the world for everything from electric vehicles to data centers, there’s renewed interest in building new nuclear capacity, as well as extending the lifetime of existing plants and even reopening facilities that have been shut down. Efforts are also growing to ...
The need for increasedelectricity supplyto meet the additional demand flowing from the widespread adoption of EVs; The impact and risks associated with the materials and supply chains needed for EV manufacturing, particularly the mining ofcritical mineralsfor battery production; The management and disposa...
Nutrients are the organic substances which are required for regulating body functions. The 6 essential nutrients include protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and water.
All of this means we may see a demand for power not experienced since the dotcom boom, that's because along with AI’s rise, other power-hungry themes are emerging like electrification, Electric Vehicles (EVs) and a potential resurgence in US manufacturing (driven by reshoring). Adding energ...
so today’s EVs are approaching the price of gas-powered cars and can go for hundreds of miles between charges. Lithium-ion batteries are also finding new applications, including electricity storage on the grid that can help balance out intermittent renewable power sources like wind and solar. ...
Salt flats are created when water is pumped underground and returns to the surface with dissolved minerals. This brine is spread across wide pools to evaporate, leaving behind the minerals to be separated and processed. Salt flats are common in a triangle overlapping Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia...
Volvo confirmed that EVs are far “dirtier” out of the factory gate, as the resource extraction for an electric drive train is so carbon-intensive. Large collections of lithium batteries are also rather prone to catching fire, and these are fires we can’...
“No matter how bullish or conservative you are on EVs, the next 10 years are going to be a form of chaos for the industry.” –Simon Moores Managing director of research firm Benchmark Minerals Why is this happening? To put it plainly, the Coronavirus pandemic has been the primary ca...
Along with this, there are other inputs aside from crude oil that are used in the refining process. While crude oil is the primary input, fuel ethanol, hydrocarbon gas liquids, and other blending liquids are also used. U.S. Refiner and Blender InputsShare of Total ...
