    Metal Movers: Can the UK build a lithium industry before it's too late?

    Just a few years ago, the biggest question facing lithium developers was whether demand would justify a wave of new supply. Today, as producers raise demand forecasts, battery storage booms and governments scramble to secure critical minerals, the debate has shifted to whether new supply can keep up. In this episode, Cornish Lithium founder and executive chairman Jeremy Wrathall joins Argus battery materials reporter Chris Welch to discuss the company's plans to supply up to 20,000 t/yr of battery-grade lithium from Cornwall, the challenges of permitting and financing projects in Europe, and why he believes secure domestic supply is a strategic priority.  Key topics include: Cornish Lithium's path to commercial production Whether the UK's 50,000 t/yr lithium target is realistic The biggest barriers facing lithium projects in the UK Why China remains central to the global lithium market The growing importance of supply-chain security and defense

    Global LPG Conversations: Rhine crisis hits European LPG logistics

    A look at the logistical, pricing and seasonal consequences of restricted access to Germany’s inland LPG market.

In this episode of Global LPG Conversations, David Appleton (Senior Vice-President, Global LPG) speaks with Waldemar Jaszczyk (Deputy Editor) about how extreme drought is affecting petrochemical demand, inland distribution and LPG pricing across the region. Key themes: German crackers lose access to key butane supplies Limited alternatives: rail and low-water barges struggle to fill the gap Winter supply risk: volatile propane pricing meets low German stocks

    Metal Movers: Who really controls critical mineral supply chains?

    Critical minerals have become central to geopolitics, industrial policy and the energy transition. But who ultimately controls supply chains, and can western governments realistically challenge China's dominance?

    Biofuels Forecasting in a Policy-Driven Market

    Record U.S. biofuels compliance mandates, EPA small refinery exemptions, and shifting supply chains continue to influence RIN supply dynamics, adding complexity to increasingly sophisticated forecast models. In this episode, Philip Goughary (Business Development Manager, Renewables and Biofuels) speaks with Zander Capozzola (Principal Consultant, Renewable Fuels) about why understanding the RIN bank is now central to pricing, positioning and compliance risk. The conversation looks at how RIN balances have become more complex in 2026, what “paper blending” means for the market, and why Argus Biofuels Outlook uses live compliance modelling to track policy, production, feedstock and credit signals across a 15-month forecast horizon.
