@morrowbatteries vinner kontrakt med det norske forsvaret. Batterier er kritiske komponenter i infrastruktur. Morrow har kanskje her ved høy kvalitet og testing fått en kile inn i markedet for samfunnsikkerhet og forsvar. En strategisk produsent, europeisk og på norsk jord.

The best month for Solar production in France? July. The best month for solar value? February.

@JonasNoeland @Finansavisen Godt jobba!

Når en bransjeorganisasjon sender ut en intern e-post for å mobilisere mot en fagbok, vet du at du har skrevet noe som betyr noe. @Finansavisen kan i dag fortelle at Fornybar Norge har sendt ut e-post til alle medlemmene sine om boken min «Energikrisen – og løsningen på den». Der oppfordrer de medlemmene til å engasjere seg i kritikk av boken min her på LinkedIn, for å spre ut kritikken mest mulig. – Jeg har ikke opplevd det før, sier en som har vært medlem i 10 år, til Finansavisen. Jeg tar det som en bekreftelse på at boken fortjener oppmerksomhet. Les selv og gjør deg opp din egen mening.

@itengelhardt Ja, det passt gut zusammen. Schön, wenn man das mit günstigen Standardkomponenten machen kann

@po1y Oh das ist sehr cool. Schön genutzt.

Ich habe im Sommer einen PV-Zaun gebaut und will euch hier teilhaben lassen, wie Planung und Bau abliefen.

@biglithium Any day

If you invest in reindustrialization in the US, especially critical minerals, and if there were to be only one single credible pure magnesium metal trade available on the public market, would you YOLO a small check into it if the company had a credible, considered path to 10x-ing market cap in 5 years?

The cost of grid-scale solar plus batteries has become so cheap that spreading solar power out over 24 hours is now cost-competive with building new natural gas plants in many cases. ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

New from me: How China's clean energy manufacturing boom is helping reduce CO2 emissions overseas. In 2024, China’s exports of solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles are shaved 1% off global emissions outside of China.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004. Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

@taylordsparks @UCSB @USGS Great tool, thanks for sharing!

I first cut my teeth on quantitative materials criticality research back in 2012 as a postdoc @UCSB . We dug through PDF after PDF in the @USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries in a painstaking process of extracting reserve and production values for minerals on a country-by-country, year-by-year basis. The information in these documents is extremely high value, but they change each year and PDFs are not easily machine-readable making information extraction a human-intensive effort. Enter the power of AI and LLMs! We built a RAG tool to allow users to simply query a chatbot and get high-quality responses linked to actual documents. The result is easier interaction with actionable materials criticality information than ever! Want to know the HHI of production of Niobium in 2020? Just ask! The RawMatAssist can whip it up in a jiffy! Check it out at mineral-ai.net and huge props to my amazing students @truptimohanty30 , @sayeedh34 at @utahmse

Found some nice molybdenite (moly) in a pictoresque landscape in Dalen Telemark this weekend.

@JonasNoeland Gratulerer!

Denne arbeidsuka ble avsluttet med feiring av opprykk til professor sammen med familie og gode kolleger. Jeg benyttet anledningen til å takke NTNU for mulighetene jeg har fått siden 2018. Fra 2022 har jeg deltatt i NTNUs stjerneprogram for forskere som har utmerket seg internasjonalt innenfor sine fagfelt. Det har betydd mye for min utvikling. Jeg er takknemlig for å jobbe ved et universitet som ser potensialet i yngre forskere.

My annual decarbonization presentation is here. 200 slides, covering everything from water levels in Lake Gatún to sulfur dioxide emissions to ESG fund flows to Chinese auto exports to artificial intelligence. Link in reply

Please listen everyone: we need bigly government intervention. Raw material production in the US and Europe is totally fucked because of Chinese dumping over the past 30 years. It's a national security emergency.

@biglithium 🤯

🇨🇳 is dumping state-sponsored, coal-fired, Uyghur-slave-labor-extracted magnesium on European/North American markets to deindustrialize & weaken our industrial bases. 🇺🇸 is fighting back with world-class technology innovation for making inherently CO2 neutral primary light metal.
