This week, the team investigates Latin America’s ability to move up the #EV value chain from a primarily upstream approach towards the industrialisation of minerals, #batteries and #electricvehicles. The KPM Weekly also explores China’s 2060 outlook for #hydrogenstorage and transportation; and how the automotive industry is divided over the EU’s CO2 emission targets.   Our Q&A is with Fiona Howarth, chief executive officer of Octopus Electric Vehicles, a UK-based company determined to help drivers make the switch by providing solutions from special energy tariffs to EV leasing deals. Readers can also track the latest trade flows of key battery materials in and out of China, as the Asian giant leads the world into navigating through the current market downturn.

This week's #WordOfTheWeek : Hydrogen Storage #Hydrogen can be stored physically as either a gas or a liquid. Storage of hydrogen as a gas typically requires high-pressure tanks. Storage of hydrogen as a liquid requires cryogenic temperatures. Hydrogen can also be stored on the surfaces of solids, by adsorption, or within solids, by absorption.

This week's #WordOfTheWeek : Galvanizing Galvanizing is the word given to the process of applying a thin layer of #zinc or zinc-aluminium alloy to #steel thus providing corrosion resistance. The two principal coating methods are continuous galvanizing and batch (or general) galvanizing. Continuous galvanizing is used to coat flat-rolled steel (mostly cold reduced, but some hot rolled), and also wire and tube. Zinc is applied either by hot-dip coating (the steel passes through a pot of molten zinc) or electrolytic coating (deposition takes place in a series of electrolytic cells). Hot dip is the most common method as it is cheaper.

We want to produce green steel, but do consumers want to buy it? This is a fundamental question facing the steel industry as it clamours to pour billions into decarbonising production. The process is costly and producers therefore need to charge premiums. But what if the market is not prepared to pay them? Who sets the premiums and using what methodology? We discover more in session 4 at Kallanish Commodities Green Steel Strategies 2024 on 27th November in Brussels. Alexander M.
