  • Copper companies: a screen of leading producers?

    Copper companies: a screen of leading producers?

    This data-file is a screen of the world’s largest copper miners and producers, covering 16 companies that produce half of all global output. The average company produces around 0.8MTpa, has a 30-year reserve life, and derives 30% of its EBITDA from copper.

  • Global energy: supply-demand model?

    Global energy: supply-demand model?

    This global energy supply-demand model combines our supply outlooks for coal, oil, gas, LNG, wind and solar, nuclear and hydro, into a build-up of useful global energy balances in 2023-30. Energy markets can be well-supplied from 2025-30, barring and disruptions, but only because emerging industrial superpowers will continuing using high-carbon coal.

  • Industrial cooling: chillers and evaporators?

    Industrial cooling: chillers and evaporators?

    This data-file captures the costs of industrial cooling, especially liquid cooling using commercial HVAC equipment, across heat-exchangers, cooling tower evaporators and chillers. Our base case is that removing 100MW-th of heat has capex costs of $1,000/ton, equivalent to c$300/kW-th, expending 0.12 kWh-e of electricity per kWh-th, with a total cost of 7 c/ton-hour.

  • Leading companies in super-alloys?

    Leading companies in super-alloys?

    This data-file is a screen of leading companies in super-alloys, covering US pure-plays, mega-caps in industrials and defence, and emerging world producers of Rare Earth metals. In each case, we have included our notes and observations.

  • Nature based solutions to climate change?

    Nature based solutions to climate change?

    Nature based solutions are likely to deliver c20-25% of the decarbonization in a realistic roadmap to net zero. Reforestation is low-cost (c$50/ton), technically ready, convenient and helps nature. Key challenges are improving the quality of nature-based CO2 removals and accelerating momentum. We see upside for companies that can clear these hurdles. Our top ten conclusions…

  • Indium producers: companies and market outlook?

    Indium producers: companies and market outlook?

    35 indium producers are screened in this data-file, as our energy transition outlook sees primary demand rising 4x from 900 tons in 2022 to over 3.5ktons in 2050, for uses in HJT solar cells and digital devices. 60% of global supply is produced by 20 Chinese companies. But five listed materials companies in Europe, Canada,…

  • Energy transition: ten positive themes?

    Energy transition: ten positive themes?

    It can feel gloomy, forecasting 2-6% global energy shortages, bottlenecks on material value chains that must scale by 3-30x, and even fearing that global conflicts will volatilize commodity prices. Yet there are ten themes that particularly excite us, presented here, from faster technology progress, to world-changing efficiency technologies and a new age of โ€˜advanced materialsโ€™.

  • MOSFETs: energy use and power loss calculator?

    MOSFETs: energy use and power loss calculator?

    MOSFETs are fast-acting digital switches, used to transform electricity, across new energies and digital devices. MOSFET power losses are built up from first principles in this data-file, averaging 2% per MOSFET, with a range of 1-10% depending on voltage, switching, on resistance, operating temperature and reverse recovery charge.

  • Midstream gas: pipelines have pricing power ?!

    Midstream gas: pipelines have pricing power ?!

    FERC regulations are surprisingly interesting!! In theory, gas pipelines are not allowed to have market power. But they increasingly do have it: gas use is rising, on grid bottlenecks, volatile renewables and AI; while new pipeline investments are being hindered. So who benefits here? Answers are explored in this 13-page report.
