#Automobile Selon un rapport de la Cour des Comptes européenne, l’UE risque de dépendre à long terme de pays tiers pour son approvisionnement en #batteries, réduisant à néant son ambition de devenir une puissance mondiale dans le domaine des batteries. euractiv.fr/section/mobili…
"La Chine assure aujourd’hui 76% de la capacité de production mondiale de batteries. L’UE est confrontée à des obstacles qui l’empêchent de faire décoller son industrie des batteries: le manque d’accès à des matières premières critiques, l’augmentation des coûts de l’énergie..."
«Si vous misez autant sur les voitures électriques et que vous savez que vous manquez de matières premières dans le sol, vous finirez soit par ne pas atteindre l’objectif de 2035, soit par dépendre de pays tiers», a expliqué Annemie Turtelboom, de la Cour des comptes européenne.
On Tuesday, the @EUparliament passed a groundbreaking policy framework that will make electric vehicle batteries sold in 🇪🇺 more sustainable – and can serve as a blueprint for battery policies worldwide.🔋⚡️
Here are 4 key aspects of this policy in a short 🧵.👇

Will large-scale #batteries store the energy when it is cheap and sell it back when expensive? My short answer is no.

Volatility is on the rise with renewables, especially solar. Just check what happened last week in Europe. Very low and negative prices all other Europe for lunch. (2/10)
Solar was clearly one of the main factors. The residual load in Germany getting close to zero (negative in the Netherlands). (3/10)
The pace of #innovation in electric vehicles is mind-blowing. It's not just about #batteries, but also #electricdrives, #powerelectronics, #software, and #batterymanagement.
These advancements mean better #energyefficiency, increased range, and lower costs. With fewer parts, economies of scale will soon make electric vehicles as affordable as internal combustion engines. The future is electric! ⚡️🚗 #EVs #CleanTransportation
Long-haul trucking and farm & mining equipment pose interesting challenges. Will it be all #batteries or a combo of #fuelcells and batteries? My bet is on batteries dominating the field due to their innovation and scalability. Fuel cells are still in their early stages

Picture of the Week: Speed of change around #energytransition is accelerating. Last year the @IEA projected that #renewableenergy installations would be 1800GW over the next five years. Now they are saying that it will be 2,400GW which is the installed capacity of #China.
Why is the #energytransition accelerating:
1. Geopolitics - #Ukrainian crisis has forced #Europe to accelerate #decarbonization. It has also been a wake up call for #China who is a huge #energy importer.

There is a lot of #china bashers out there particularly with regards #energy. The bottom line though is that #China is not only the biggest producers of #solarpanels, #inverters #windturbines and #batteries in the world but also the biggest market for all these products.
This year #china will install circa 100GW of #solarpanels. If you add the 50GW from last year the country has installed over the last 18 months more than the total installed base of the #Unitedstates.
“Solar is the cheapest form of #EnergyGeneration on the planet, unsubsidized. Solar is the cheapest source of #energy in history. Nothing else is as cheap as #solar — today.”
“Solar is so cheap that the total costs are lower than just the #OperatingCosts of #coal, #nukes, #oil, or #gas generation… that’s today! Even if you get that gas #PowerPlant for free, the costs of running that power plant are higher than all the costs of #solar.”
“For purely economic reasons, #solar is already disrupting everything else.”
A Picture tells a 1,000 Stories: This one show how #China dominates the production of key #cleanenergy technologies such as #solar, #wind, #batteries as well as the key #commodities that go into them.
I am thankful for the #Chinese and their great entrepreneurs for ramping up production as they have helped bring the costs of these #technologies down substantially.
#China has understood early the huge growth opportunity with these technologies and thet have also understood the strategic importance of #cleanenergy and supported their companies along their growth paths. Meanwhile, back in the #US and #Europe….well the picture says everything
I have never been as positive about our #energy #future as I am these days. Not alone do we have the #technologies and the knowhow to #decarbonise but we have massive retooling taking place in #China and the #US around key future energy technologies
Such as #solar, #wind, #batteries, #digitalisation, nextgeneration #nuclear, as well as significant technology breakthroughs in #geothermal, #heatpumps #tidalenergy, #hydrogen
What we do need to change is the negativity around #climatechange. It was thus great to read this article from @greendig criticising the god father of #energyhistory Vaclav Smil

2/ Débunkons d'abord une énormité : non, la croûte terrestre ne contient pas « juste assez » de métaux pour la transition énergétique. Les profs de SPC de 4e peuvent faire le calcul avec leurs élèves. Excellente application des puissance de dix + traitement anti-écoanxiété.
3/ Prenons le premier métal cité par l’article, le lithium (Li). Une bonne vielle table de Mendeleev un peu documentée nous donne son abondance dans la croûte terrestre, également mentionnée ici : fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abondance…
<thread> Tesla & #Lithium - a decade in the making
A lithium refinery has been in Tesla & Elon Musk’s @elonmusk thinking for ~10 yrs now & in (a serious way) for the best part of 3 yrs
The logic is sound
2020: 70-80% of lithium ion battery costs are raw materials
2010: 20-30%

Tesla has filed to build a lithium hydroxide refining facility in Texas (Gulf Coast).
This is a revisiting of its 2020 plan to build a spodumene conversion facility to make lithium hydroxide at #GigaTexas
Originally planned to launch Q4 2022.

This #GigaTexas lithium refinery would have been using a new hydromet process, as not to be reliant on sulphuric acid.
Our estimation was a smaller refinery to start with 15,000 tpa lithium hydroxide. Could now be 25,000tpa

🧵While it’s popular these days for Republicans to bash the #Manchin-Schumer proposal, look closer and there are things that pro-energy conservatives should like in the deal. Specifically:
1. #Drilling: significant increases in onshore and offshore drilling.
2. #Renewables: wind and solar subsidies/tax credits are contingent upon the granting of drilling permits (protecting against a Biden Admin "bait & switch").
3. #Nuclear: funding for nuclear investments.

3. #Nuclear: funding for nuclear investments.
4. #Carbon: funding & rules for carbon capture—allowing firms to keep current power plants open longer—giving the US a longer runway to reach its "energy transition" goals.
5. #Batteries: requires high levels of local material in production—curbing incentives to build in China.

2. The Lithium Supply Situation
The supply/demand gap will grow substantially in the years ahead when available expansion capacity from operating lithium projects has been used. New mining projects take ~8-10 years to come online from initial exploration to first production

Thread:
@SDRCMINING can be quoted projecting profitable #gold production at $400 per oz spot. This is an industry-breaking metric. Let finding out why be the theme that leads you down this rabbit hole.
A real need exists as less & less material is found globally as a result of exploration every year. When a mine is deemed unfeasible, it halts. So many open mines lay dormant or haven't started due to vein structures too narrow or because of environmental hurdles imposed by govts
#RussiaUkraineConflict - we are getting a lot of inquiries about Russia and critical minerals, esp for #ElectricVehicles & #batteries

Norilsk overall accounts for 7% of all in nickel supply. But EV makers, auto OEMs and battery cell producers will terrified of losing 20% of a market with prices already at decade long highs.
China will not place real any sanctions on Russia and as a result ensure all #nickel continues to flow into its mainland and into Chinese made battery cells and EVs
