···

Glencore amână termenul pentru concedierile de la topitoria din Africa de Sud până pe 7 aprilie, în timp ce discuțiile cu Eskom intră în ultima săptămână

The company says 1,500 jobs are at risk without a 62 South African cents/kWh tariff. Only 11 of 66 smelters remain in operation as power prices have surged over 900% since 2008. Any new deal still requires approval from the national energy regulator.

Faceți loc litiului: bateriile cu aluminiu și sulf declanșează o revoluție energetică

In January 2024, a study in Nature Communications reported an aluminum-sulfur battery retaining 85.4% capacity after 1,400 cycles at 85°C. In October 2024, Lyten announced plans for the world’s first Li–S battery gigafactory in Nevada, aiming for 10 GWh/year by 2027. In 2023, Phinergy and Indian Oil unveiled India’s first aluminum-air battery vehicle. Laboratory Li–S cells have reached 400–500 Wh/kg.

China activated the world’s largest sodium-ion battery storage farm in July 2024, with 100 MWh capacity, developed by HiNa Battery and Datang. JAC began mass production of an electric car using sodium-ion batteries, while CATL plans to launch its next-generation sodium-ion cells by late 2025. Sodium-ion batteries offer lower raw material costs and improved safety but have 20–30% less energy density than lithium-ion.

  • AI-Driven Job Cuts Hit ASX Tech Firms Amid Rising Unemployment in Australia
    May 22, 2026, 7:41 PM EDT. Australia's unemployment rate rose to 4.5% in April, marking its sharpest monthly increase since early 2020. Experts attribute the rise to slower consumer spending, cautious hiring, and higher interest rates, alongside structural shifts driven by AI adoption. WiseTech Global announced plans to cut 2,000 jobs, nearly 30% of its workforce, citing AI altering work processes. Internal communications shifted language from 'AI transformation' to 'global transformation' amid regulatory challenges in China. Across the Pacific, Meta slashed 8,000 jobs despite record revenues, signaling a strategic pivot rather than cost-cutting. ASX tech firms are reorganizing operations around AI advancements, highlighting tensions between automation and workforce stability.
