Cosmic Mineral Could Solve Rare Earth Shortage Around the World

China’s monopoly over the global rare earth metal market is a consistent thorn in the side of the United States and other nations that share its interests. As the world transitions to renewable energy over the next few decades, experts worry that China’s dominance in the key rare earth metals supply chain will grant it unprecedented leverage over the U.S., its largest rival. Interestingly, a mineral that typically occurs in space may be the key to weaning the U.S. off of China and achieving some semblance of independence in the rare earth metal market. Cambridge University Department of Materials Science…

Geopolitics Puts Indonesian Nickel in the Crosshairs

Nickel will play a crucial role in global climate change efforts due to its use in batteries, particularly electric vehicle batteries and energy storage options. As the United States and other countries transition from traditional cars to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and replace greenhouse gas-emitting fossil fuels with renewable energy, global demand for lithium is expected to explode. However, geopolitics may complicate America’s transition to electric vehicles and hamper its vision for a carbon-free economy. For example, China has made significant investments in the supply chain for battery metals and currently controls most of the globe’s nickel extraction and refining,…

Study Shows Benefits of Closing Coal Plants Could Be Broader in the US Than Previously Thought

Recent research has suggested that shutting down coal plants could have even broader health benefits than experts previously thought. While experts already knew that coal plant closures resulted in cleaner air and better air-quality levels, a new study indicates that cleaning up the air could have greater benefits than data suggested. Researchers studied the 2016 closure of a coal processing plant in Neville Island on the Ohio River that had produced coal-coke for steelmaking processes for close to a century. They discovered a substantial reduction in air-pollution levels in neighboring communities. Specifically, sulfur dioxide went down by 90% and arsenic…

Fertilizer prices were struggling before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine due to the global disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Lockdowns in large fertilizer-consuming nations such as China disrupted the production and transportation of phosphate and phosphoric acid to other…

Surging Equities Reduce Allure of Gold as Inflation Rages On

Gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETF) are losing their safe haven appeal amid fears of an economic slowdown in the United States, well-performing equities and increasing bond yields even as inflation continues to ravage the global economy.
