…useful reference file or ‘cheat sheet’, for decision-makers increasingly exploring new solar cells, battery recycling or materials used in the energy transition. To read our latest commentary on manufacturing methods, please…
…basis in the model, for both primary paper production and for recycling. The controversy is the CO2 credentials of wood. Total energy intensity of paper production is built up across…
New technologies for the energy transition range across renewables, next-gen nuclear (fission and fusion), next-gen materials, EV charging, battery designs, CCS technologies, electronics, recycling, vehicles, hydrogen technologies and advanced bio-fuels….
…production (i.e., recycling, e.g., Aurubis). The best option to decarbonize primary copper, based on stress testing our models, is to use clean electricity for processes such as crushing and flotation,…
…curves are best for those at the bottom of those cost curves. And possibly also for battery recycling. We have screened 20 companies and discuss our conclusions on pages 14-15….
…Over half of the emissions are chemical emissions from coking. The other half is from blast furnaces. Recycling scrap metal in electric arc furnaces is the best electrification opportunity we…
