I'm here at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, which Ecuador is redeveloping in order to service its offshore wind project off the coast of Long Island. Called Empire Wind 1. It will include 54 turbines, each 951 ft tall, providing 810 megawatt.That's enough to power 500,000 homes. It's a big investment for Norway based Ecuador, which is spending about $5 billion, including 1 billion to redevelop the marine terminal. Construction at this port began about a year ago.You can see behind me, workers are busy l ...

今天分享的是：2025稀土矿物及其在能源转型中的战略地位研究报告 报告共计：20页 稀土矿物及其在能源转型中的战略地位研究总结 全球正经历从依赖化石燃料向清洁能源转型的过程，这一转变催生了对稀土矿物等自然资源的新需求。稀土矿物由17种化学性质相似的稀土元素组成，分为 轻稀土和重稀土两类，凭借其独特的磁、光、电特性，在清洁能源技术、电子设备、国防系统等众多高科技领域中发挥着不可或缺的作用。 在能源转型背景下，稀土矿物的重要性愈发凸显。《巴黎协定》旨在将全球温升控制在2°C以内，各国为实现这一目标，正大力发展风力涡轮机、太阳能电 池板、电动汽车等零碳可再生能源技术，而这些技术对矿物的需求远超传统能源。以电动汽车为例，其矿物投入是内燃机汽车的六倍，陆上风力发电厂的矿 物需求则是燃气电厂的九倍。预计到2040年，清洁能源在稀土总需求中的占比将从2010年的13%提升至41%，稀土需求可能增长300%-700%。 从全球供需格局来看，稀土供应高度集中。中国不仅是全球最大的稀土生产国，2023年生产量达24万吨，还在稀土加工领域占据绝对优势，承担了全球90% 的加工业务。全球稀土储量约1.1亿吨，中国拥有4400万吨，其 ...
