…prices and a $50/ton CO2 price, these ‘savings’ can avoid half of the typical costs of primary steel production. Leading steel-recycling companies, in electric arc furnaces include Nucor, CMC and…
…is from Russia. Implats’s Rustenburg mine is 870m underground. Ore grades average 4 grams/ton, hence huge quantities of rock must be excavated, crushed, concentrated, smelted at 1,500ºC in electric arc…
…since 2012. 70% of steel is made in blast furnaces and basic oxygen furnaces, in a pathway that emits over 2 tons of CO2 per ton of finished steel (model…
…I2R losses by keeping voltage in phase with current, even when power is supplied to components such as motors, electric arc furnaces, LED lights, computing infrastructure. In our base case…
…The number of industries that can demand shift is much larger than one might expect at first glance. They include electric arc furnaces, industrial gases, internet companies, EV chargers, greenhouse…
…in their stator windings by traction inverters. For more details and underlying theory, please see our overview of magnets. What magnets are used in electric vehicles? 80-90% of electric vehicles…
…point for electric vehicles among developed world vehicle purchasers, on pages 11-13. Market saturation for electric vehicles would have extreme implications across energy and materials markets. Some examples are given…
Electric vehicles are a world-changing technology, 2-6x more efficient than ICEs, but how quickly will they ramp up to re-shape global oil demand? This 14-page note presents our electric vehicle…
Total pump costs can be ballparked at $600/kW/year of power, of which 70% is electricity, 20% operations and maintenance, 10% capex/capital costs. But the numbers vary. Hence this data-file breaks…
