Annual commodity prices are tabulated in this database for 70 material commodities, as a useful reference file; covering steel prices, other metal prices, chemicals prices, polymer prices, with data going…
…semiconductors as pure silicon boules are crystallized out at 25 mm per hour in the Czochralski process. Mining processes perhaps screen best of all? Processes such as communition, flotation, heap…
…chains that yield glass, solar panels and semiconductors. For the latter two applications, silica might be reduced into silicon ‘metal’ in an electric arc furnace. And overall, we think this…
…semiconductors work or how the internet works. https://thundersaidenergy.com/downloads/metals-and-materials-strength-and-temperature-resistance/ What does it cost? Some commentators seem to think decarbonizing the planet is going to be simple. If you think the solution…
This data-file forecasts the energy consumption of the internet, rising from 800 TWH in 2022 to 2,000 TWH in 2030 and 3,750 TWH by 2050. The main driver is the…
The purpose of this model is to break down the most likely contribution of photovoltaic silicon to overall solar panel costs. The model starts from quartz, which is smelted into…
