Our inputs are rock, water, and renewable energy, and our products come with no CO 2 emissions.” About 40 percent is a magnesium product suitable for use in carbon sequestration, wastewater treatment, and alloy manufacturing, among other things. The process is elegant but not massively complicated.

Higher EV penetration reduces GHG emissions from fuel use regardless of the transportation energy transition, while those from fuel production are more sensitive to energy-sector decarbonization and could reach nearly “net zero” by 2040. It’s mainly driven by the electric vehicle market penetration and battery technology development.

Glencore produces cobalt mainly as a by-product of copper mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), but also as a by-product of nickel mining in Australia and Canada. Glencore is already a leading producer and supplier of these metals, helping to underpin our ambition of achieving net zero total emissions by 2050.

Preliminary findings included as part of the brief: The greenhouse gas emissions benefits of EVs are clear and will grow as global electricity supplies become increasingly less carbon-intensive. The structure of the supply chain also adds to batteries’ life-cycle emissions, just as it does for petroleum.

If we want to achieve a 100% carbon-free economy by 2050, we have to create our own supply of these materials, including alternatives here at home in America. At present, the US relies on imports from nations such as China and the Democratic Republic of Congo for these critical materials. —Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm.

Led by the tiny Pacific island of the Federated States of Micronesia, a growing group of low-lying islands and other vulnerable countries are calling for fast action on the approximately 50% of global warming that is caused by pollutants other than carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). million lives lost each year due to black carbon soot.
