GM and Glencore enter multi-year cobalt supply agreement

Green Car Congress

It is known for its heat-resistant properties and is added to lithium-ion battery cathodes to improve energy density and battery longevity. The ore is then mixed with water to form a slurry for processing in the HPAL circuit. Cobalt is a metal that makes up only 0.001% of the earth’s crust. In 2021, Murrin Murrin produced 30.1

SWISS equips entire Boeing 777-300ER fleet with AeroSHARK riblet films

Green Car Congress

Sharks are energy-efficient swimmers; sharkskin consists almost entirely of small placoid scales that shift independently to reduce friction. The faster the shark moves through the water, the more efficiently it does so. The potential for fuel and CO 2 savings on this scale is around 1.1%. Johannes Bussmann, CEO of Lufthansa Technik.
