Energy Revolution to Reshape Global Landscape Over Next 30 Years
Over the next three decades, global energy demand is projected to rise by 35%, sparking an ongoing energy revolution. New oil extraction technologies like hydraulic fracturing and directional drilling have unlocked vast oil and gas reserves, upending the global oil market and turning the U.S. from the world’s top oil importer to its largest producer.
Hydrogen Plasma - based Extraction of High - Purity Iron from Red Mud Drives Green Metallurgy
European scientists have developed a new method that uses hydrogen plasma to reduce iron oxide in red mud, capable of producing liquid iron with a purity of over 95% in just a few minutes. This process contains almost no harmful elements and is suitable for steel - making. Meanwhile, it can consume red mud, an industrial solid waste, and is expected to solve the environmental problem of 180 million tons of red mud produced annually.
