Mining operations account for some 4%-7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to global consulting firm McKinsey & Company. But some miners are moving to reduce use of fossil fuels in extracting and refining, partly due to pressure from downstream customers that want more sustainable supply chains. Located beside a crystal-blue lake in the lush jungle of Sorowako, South Sulawesi, Vale Indonesia — a subsidiary of Vale international — runs its smelters entirely from hydroelectricity. Other companies and countries around the world also are reducing use of fossil fuels in their mining operations. But now, having that infrastructure means big savings at a time when global energy prices are high.

Solar energy names First Solar and SolarEdge Technologies both made the list of this week's biggest gainers. First Solar was this week's top performer, with shares popping 23.2% following strong guidance for 2023. More than half of analysts covering the stock rate it a buy, but also see it coming down slightly from current levels. Software company Salesforce was also one of this week's notable gainers, with the stock on Thursday having their best day since 2020 following a blowout earnings report. Several non-energy materials stocks were also strong performers this week, with Steel Dynamics and Mosaic gaining 12.5% and 9.4%, respectively.

☆ Новая технология преобразовывает выбросы в строительные блоки
▼ + stars: | 2021-06-04 | by ( Mld Media Srl | ) noi.md time to read: +2 min

Инженеры-химики из университета Нового Южного Уэльса в Сиднее разработали новую технологию, которая помогает перерабатывать вредные выбросы углекислого газа в химические строительные блоки для производства синтетического дизельного топлива, метанола, спирта или пластмассы. По словам исследователей, новый способ является более дешевым, чем то, что сейчас используется в тяжелой промышленности. "Мы использовали открытое пламя, которое горит при 2000 градусах, чтобы создать наночастицы оксида цинка, которые затем могут быть использованы для преобразования CO2 в синтез-газ. Новый способ этой проблемы избегает, в ход идет только отработанный углекислый газ. Если новая технология пройдет апробацию в промышленных условиях и будет принята мировым сообществом, то это станет еще одним шагом по переходу к безотходному зеленому производству.
