Tesla Semi Compelling Economics
The Tesla Semi large truck will be at least 84% cheaper for fuel costs than equivalent large diesel trucks. Combined with more torque, regenerative braking increased purchase costs suggest less than a 2 year payback.

Tesla Grid and Home Batteries
Tesla has led innovation into grid, industrial and home storage with their range of batteries. The lines are blurred with home batteries now providing grid virtual power plant services.
CO2 Battery Technology
Batteries made from CO2 compression and expansion have moved from lab to deployment. Offering low cost, longer term storage utilising standard equipment.
Agromining Minerals from Plants
Agromining using hyperaccumulator plants would be a very profitable crop in the tropics. Research from University of Queensland shows promise from nickel.
Green Steel Technology and Costs
Steel accounts for 6% of global emissions. With a small number of iron ore miners and steel producers – what are technologies to de carbonise the industry?
Mine Numbers Collapse by 2040 by 70%
With the exit of coal mines, use of green hydrogen and renewable energy for steel making, and full deployment will the number of mines crash?
