In today’s Daily on Energy, we explore a newly approved graphite mining project in Alaska that will be covered by the federal government’s fast-track permitting program, also known as FAST-41.
China dominates global critical mineral extraction and processing, but President Trump has developed a path to secure U.S. supply and processing, one that includes coal.
The US Geological Survey lists 50 minerals designated as “critical.”Some, such as lithium or graphite, are well known but many are obscure (looking at you ytterbium).
True, it's an allotrope (so, we've coal, graphite, diamond and graphene, all are just carbon but different arrangements of atoms) and as above, we prefer that natural graphite in some battery uses.
State-run coal behemoth Coal India has secured a graphite block, a critical mineral asset, in Madhya Pradesh. It would be the company’s first ever non-coal mineral mining venture.
President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelennskyy are set to sign a framework for the U.S. and Ukraine to cooperate in developing Ukrainian rare earth minerals.
