In this edition, the Power Materials Weekly’s feature articles cover the hybrid ‘revolution’ going on in China, with rising interest in PHEVs and EREVs; Rio Tinto’s big bet on lithium with the $6.7 billion acquisition of Arcadium Lithium; and whether the much-debated US 45V hydrogen tax credit offers industry a lifeline or a short-term solution.

Our company spotlight is on Teck Resources – a Canadian miner that has ditched metallurgical coal to become a pure-play critical minerals producer, focusing primarily on copper. The report also offers a great catch-up with trending news from the week on global battery materials, electric vehicles and hydrogen supply chains. Don’t forget to check last week’s battery metals pricing movement and October prices for green and blue hydrogen in different parts of the world.
