Technology
In 2017, more than 5,000 scientific papers and tin technology patents were published, which demonstrates a strong future for this metal.
Energy uses and technologies are the strongest new use drivers, with tin additions to lead-acid batteries and solder used for joining solar cells already benefiting.
Over the next decade tin has many opportunities in lithium ion and other batteries, solar PV, thermoelectric materials, hydrogen-related applications and carbon capture.
Supply Shortfall
Data from the International Tin Association clearly indicates an expected shortfall in the supply of tin. Elementos is part of the ‘rest of world’ producer market. The two tin projects we are currently working on in Spain and Australia will give our company a solid footing to meet some of this shortfall.These projects will give Elementos a clear competitive advantage in the global tin market.
