Researchers Discover New Method That Recovers Valuable Minerals from Electronic Waste

Researchers have discovered a new method of extracting minerals from electronic waste that uses significantly less energy than current techniques, produces ecofriendly waste and can reduce the demand for mined raw materials. The method is based on the flash Joule heating method, which was designed to produce thin graphene from carbon sources such as plastic and wood. New adaptations by a group of researchers from Rice University will allow the technique to be used to recover substances including silver, gold, palladium and rhodium from waste, so they can be reused. The method works by heating the waste to 3,124 degrees…

Analyst Says Bull Market Still On for Precious Metals

Bull markets are perceived differently by investors focused both on the long term as well as the short term. In 2019, gold entered a bull market after exiting a basing channel at $1,370. Before that, the metal was trading for a little below $2,000 in 2011 and fell to $1,200 in 2013. After this, the metal entered a new channel in 2014, before exiting it once more in 2020. Analysts now reveal that the long-term outlook for precious metals such as silver and gold is positive, despite the recent decline in the price of precious metals in August last year.…

Nuclear Power Report Sees Rosy Future for Uranium

A nuclear fuel report that was launched earlier last month at the World Nuclear Association Annual Symposium highlights that the generation capacity of nuclear energy is predicted to increase by almost 3% annually, reaching roughly 610 GWe in the next two decades. By 2030, nuclear capacity is anticipated to have reached 439 GWe. At the moment, global nuclear capacity is about 395 GWe. This report was written by Exelon Generation’s James Nevling and Tenex’s Alexander Boytsov, with input provided by more than 80 experts from the international nuclear industry. It relies on publicly available data gathered from organizations that actively…

Power Price Fluctuations Create Opportunities for Battery Storage Investments

As more countries adopt the use of clean energies, disparities between the demand and supply are expected to drive more returns for the funds specializing in battery energy storage systems as well as for battery energy storage systems. Berenberg analysts expect that the returns of battery energy storage systems for funds such as Gresham House Energy Storage Fund and Gore Street Energy Storage Fund will remain high as a portion of their revenues are associated with power price volatility and they are dependent on the growth of electricity markets. The analysts note that both Gresham House Energy Storage and Gore…

Notorious Reddit Investor Forum Picks Interest in Uranium Stocks

Nuclear energy is one of the safest and cleanest energies to use given that it has a virtually nonexistent carbon footprint. However, nuclear disasters that have occurred in the past such as Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and Fukushima Daiichi, have made its use less than popular. The long half-life of radioactive nuclear waste doesn’t help this energy’s profile in the public eye as more nuclear plants around the globe get decommissioned. Despite this, nuclear energy kills far fewer individuals than fossil fuels, with estimates showing that coal energy kills more than 300 times as many individuals per terawatt-hour of energy…
