Potential Bottlenecks Of Materials In Future Green Technologies
Every year, the global consumption of raw materials increases. In the 19th century, only a few elements were extracted and used. Today the whole periodic table is practically used by society, and many of the considered “critical” or “rare” elements are used in green technologies. Such technologies shall be the best answer to reduce
Dare to dream: Battery manufacturing in WA can be a reality
The advanced manufacture of batteries in WA is not out of reach according to WA’s chief scientist Professor Peter Klinken. Speaking at the lithium and energy materials industry consortium on Wednesday, Professor Klinken said global interest in battery materials was booming - and while WA was at the epicentre of mining them, downstream manufacturing
MANGANESE. IS IT THE FORGOTTEN BATTERY MINERAL?
Whilst manganese is commonly associated as being reliant on steel consumption and steel market forces, this paradigm could shift over time as battery technology demand grows. With battery technology still in early stages of development, there is currently no clear winner as to which battery will obtain market dominance. Tesla currently uses two differing
While the world worries about a trade war, America and Australia push for a peace treaty of potentially epic proportions over “critical minerals”
While the world waits, with bated breath, to see who will strike next in what many have dubbed a “trade war” between the United States and a host of other countries, most notably China, members of the EU, and its NAFTA partners, Canada and Mexico, and while investors in the “electric revolution” (electric vehicles,
Super Batteries: Which Metal Will Fuel the Future?
There has been a lot of discussion around which battery metal will reign supreme in the push to bring electric and hybrid vehicles to market. Currently lithium, nickel and cobalt are the heavyweight contenders, but what is next? Continue Reading
A New Era
A New Era Pilbara Metals Group Pty Ltd was founded in 2014 as a mining company for exploration and production in the private sector. Due to market prices it laid idle for 3 years until the idea of Manganese in Batteries was thought of. PMG had an idea of becoming an end user for
