This should be an interesting look at the pricing and supply effects proposed CO2 sequestration pipelines will have on industries that utilize CO2. Strategies for avoiding or mitigating these effects should comprise a significant risk reduction component in the planning processes of current industrial CO2 users.
Join us for an engaging virtual discussion on the future of CO2 in industrial processes, presented by CIRAS in partnership with the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA). This event is specially designed for leaders in manufacturing who utilize CO2 in their operations.

Przemyslaw Sztuczkowski, CEO of the Polish steelmaker Cognor, pointed out that #hydrogen technology is expensive and futuristic, while the EU's #scrap surplus of 30 million tonnes is likely to turn into a deficit. Sztuczkowski emphasised that there will be an increase in demand for scrap in #Europe and globally and that scrap should be added to the #CRM list.
Ryszard Pawlik, parliamentary advisor to EU Member Jerzy Buzek, said that the EU had endeavoured to include scrap in the CRM list, but after consultations with EU Member States this item was removed. Buzek expressed hope that the list will be periodically reviewed.
Tomasz Slezak, CEO of Weglokoks, stated that coking coal will remain an EU CRM if steel remains a strategic material. Slezak said that it is not possible for Europe to move away from #blastfurnaces quickly and that #decarbonisation of steel is complex.
Herbert Wirth from Wroclaw University of Science and Technology stated that there are significant amounts of CRMs such as cobalt and vanadium in copper waste in #Poland, and expressed that they expect support from the state for the recovery of these valuable substances. Sodium is also abundant in Poland.
EU Member Jerzy Buzek emphasised that fair #greentransformation is key for a sustainable European economy and that measures such as domestic production and #recycling should be taken alongside environmental measures. This is important for the EU to have a strong economy and be resilient to external threats.

One of the key drivers for the circular economy is the use of IT. Our customer, GoodSolutions.se, based in Sweden, has a great tool that can identify and reduce energy waste while also providing data for CO2 reporting. This is a win-win for manufacturers as it saves money and helps our planet. Let's work together to achieve climate goals! #circulareconomy#businessdevelopment#manufacturing#sustainability#greenbusiness

Impact of future marine fuels on lubricant formulations.
The drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping means the adoption of lower carbon fuels and improvements to engine efficiency are essential. This combination poses new challenges for marine lubricants, which will drive the need new lubricant additive technologies

Re-engineering the key pillars of our industrial operating system is happening and is driving a manufacturing renaissance in the United States. It’s hard to overstate the scale. More challenges lay ahead, to be sure, but this change will result in:
- less economic vulnerability to hostile petro-states
- lower costs for vehicle fuel and personal mobility
- easier path to higher reliance on variable sources of renewable energy like wind and solar as vehicle batteries become “dispatch able grid resources “
- a more resilient electric system where households can ‘ride through’ unplanned outages

Don't get tripped up on the 'sky-is-falling' headlines that often pop up about withering demand for electric vehicles... We are in a massive, unprecedented industrial transition: it won't happen overnight, it won't be linear, it won't be failure nor error free. But going backward is simply not an option.
It seems to me our reflexive instinct to hinder or downplay progress (as so often voiced in the media) is little more than an instinctual desire to remain comfortable in the status quo. We're going to have to push past that, individually and collectively.
"But there's a lag between the lightning and the thunder, right?" asks Chris Hayes (the thunder being the spin-up of a carbon free economy). Well, Chris, that lightning has been flashing for many decades now. How much longer are we supposed to drag our feet before we get zapped?
Bonus PNW content: the Moses Lake factory Secretary Granholm mentioned is operated by Seattle-based Group14 Technologies. Upon completion, their BAM-2 factory will be the world’s largest factory for advanced silicon battery materials, strengthening our domestic supply chain and cutting reliance on imported materials like graphite – all while creating hundreds of new jobs in WA. (PS Group14 Technologies I'd like one of those jobs!)
