Researchers measure actual CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use and compare to reported levels

Green Car Congress

The team of researchers, led by researchers from Imperial College London (ICL), developed a technique to estimate CO 2 emissions from fossil fuels using atmospheric measurements, then tested the technique over three months in California. Fossil fuels lack a type of radioactive carbon, an isotope called carbon-14, which decays over time.

Nornickel presents market review of nickel and platinum group metals

Green Car Congress

In early 2023, nickel has been the worst performer among base metals on the London Metal Exchange (LME). Overall, despite nickel demand growth, which has averaged 7% per annum since 2015, Indonesia is creating a supply glut and losing potential revenue by selling the country’s nickel resources at substantial discounts. Mt to 3.22
