Commodity prices: metals, materials and chemicals?
…their ten-year averages in 2022, as internationally traded prices rose sharply for nickel, rose modestly for aluminium and zinc, and remained high for copper (chart below). Base metal prices by…
Nickel, manganese, cobalt: sufficient reserves for the rise of EVs?
This data-file models whether there will be sufficient materials to build EV batteries. Specifically, will there be enough nickel, manganese and cobalt to build the batteries behind the vast rise of…
Supercapacitors: case studies for renewable-heavy grids?
The purpose of this data-file is to review supercapacitor case studies, to see if they are being used to back up renewable-heavy grids? Our conclusion is that super-capacitors are well-suited…
Super-Computers at Oil Majors?
…conducted using an “owned” super-computer, but rather in partnership with an academic institution. The largest supercomputer in the world is also larger than the entire oil industry’s super-computing power combined….
Super-alloys: what role in energy transition?
…gas turbines, jet engines (whether fueled by oil, hydrogen or e-fuels), vehicle parts, CCS, and geopolitical resiliency. Hence this 15-page report explores nickel-niobium super-alloys, energy transition upside, and leading companies….
