$FYI – Report from WFES 2019: MENA Solar Market Reaches Inflection Point
“ABU DHABI—We’ve been hearing about the vast potential for solar power in the Middle East and North Africa for awhile now, but this year’s World Future Energy Summit (WFES) may have coincided with a real inflection point, where overhyped growth projections have started to turn into gigawatt-scale deployment. The MENA pipeline needle is rapidly moving in the direction of real investments and project execution. In fact, there are more than 12 GW of solar projects that have either been awarded, are under construction or in operation in the region, according to the 2019 Solar Outlook Report ”

In reading this issue it appears the analyst don’t have a bullish view for graphite for the next few years. The exception to that might be Zen Graphite Solutions they have a natural graphite projection that maybe able to replace synthetic graphite. Which is to say I won’t be posting any graphite updates till there appears to be a better market.

note – I just finished reading “The smarts inside the storage: Software and analytics can drive economic value”, it appears that a combination of Artificial Intelligence, and Big Data, could ramp the installation of Renewables and Storage to a level we haven’t seen in new technologies before.
A good read here from a new study published in Nature Scientific Reports, Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the University of Cambridge :
About a possible new use for Nickel. Researchers have made a surprising material out of Nickel. They have built a sheet of nickel with nanoscale pores that make it as strong as titanium but four to five times lighter. It is porous and could serve double duty as an airplane wing or prosthetic leg that’s also a battery…… https://phys.org/news/2019-01-metallic-wood-strength-titanium-density.html#jCp Got to buy me some more Nickel producers ! LOTS of possibilities……Cowboy
