China Controls Graphite Supply Chain, a Concern for Energy Transition

Graphite is a crucial element in li-ion batteries used in electric cars and energy-storage devices, among others. The element is mainly produced by China, which has a monopoly over the battery production, refining and export. Currently, China refines more than 90% of the graphite used in electric-vehicle batteries. Most of the global supply of this element is concentrated in China, Brazil and Turkey. This dominance by the east Asian country is worrying many, particularly those aiming to diversify their supply chains. Last year, Beijing included graphite on its list of items that need an export license. This has been interpreted…

US Coal Stocks Reach Highest Level Since 2020

Latest data released by the Energy Information Administration shows that electric power plants in the United States held 138 million tons of coal by May’s end.

Studies Explore Changing Wastewater into Fertilizer

New studies are exploring whether using organic waste to make fertilizers could help promote sustainable production and decrease fossil fuel consumption. One of the studies, by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, focused on using a fungal treatment to make fertilizer from leftover wastewater for agricultural crops. The researchers were using a process known as hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), which makes biocrude oil from biomass via a high-pressure, high-temperature process. Paul Davidson, an associate professor in the university’s agricultural and biological engineering department, stated that the process through which HTL uses wet biomass from organic sources, such as food waste or swine…

IEA Says Worldwide Demand for Coal Could Stay Flat in 2025

A recent coal market trend update from the International Energy Agency (IEA) notes that global demand for coal will most likely remain stable through 2025. Coal use in energy generation has been on the decline over the last decade as dozens of countries worldwide work to eliminate the dirty fossil fuel from their energy mixes. Electrification coupled with a significant surge in renewable energy capacity has helped to reduce coal use and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions as much as possible. The result has been a notable decline in the demand for coal as major markets, including the European Union, China and…
