METALS
As the world moves away from fossil energy sources, a lot of different materials are required to facilitate this transition. From metals in your smartphone batteries to residential / utility-scale energy storage batteries – we need speciality metals. We’re focusing on copper, nickel, cobalt and lithium as energy transition metals and we’ll be looking into their supply and demand dynamics, prices, availability and availability where it is needed.
ENERGY
There are two types of carbon markets that exist; regulatory compliance and the voluntary markets. The compliance market is normally used by companies and governments that by law have to account for their GHG emissions and it is regulated by mandatory national, regional or international carbon reduction regimes. On the voluntary market, the trade of carbon credits is on a voluntary basis. The size of the two markets differs considerably – size, regulation, prices.
