Raw Materials for Future Energy Supply de Friedrich-W. Wellmer

Raw Materials for Future Energy Supply

Autor Friedrich-W. Wellmer, Peter Buchholz, Jens Gutzmer, Christian Hagelüken, Peter Herzig, Ralf Littke, Rudolf K. Thauer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 dec 2018
This is the first book that analyses the future raw materials supply from the demand side of a society that chiefly relies on renewable energies, which is of great significance for us all. It addresses primary and secondary resources and substitution, not only from technical but also socioeconomic and ethical points of view.

The “Energiewende” (Energy Transition) will change our consumption of natural resources significantly. When in future our energy requirements will be covered mostly by wind, solar power and biomass, we will need less coal, oil and natural gas. However, the consumption of minerals, especially metallic resources, will increase to build wind generators, solar panels or energy storage facilities. Besides e.g. copper, nickel or cobalt, rare earth elements and other high-tech elements will be increasingly used. With regard to primary metals, Germany is 100 % import dependent; only secondary material is produced within Germany. Though sufficient geological primary resources exist worldwide, their availability on the market is crucial. The future supply of the market is dependent on the development of prices, the transparency of the market and the question of social and ethical standards in the raw materials industry, as well as the social license to operate, which especially applies to mining. The book offers a valuable resource for everyone interested in the future raw material supply of our way of life, which will involve more and more renewable energies.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h.c.mult Friedrich-Wilhelm is the retired president of the Federal Institute of Geosciences and Natural Resources, BGR, the Federal German Geological Survey, and the Lower Saxony State Geological Survey. He also served as president of the Academy of Geosciences and Geotechnology and was Visiting Professor at LE STUDIUM, the Loire Valley Institute of Advanced Studies, Orléans/France (Chair “Sustainable Management of Natural Resources”). Before joining the BGR he explored for non-ferrous and precious metal deposits in Europe, North and South America, Australia and SE-Asia for Metallgesellschaft AG, the largest German non-ferrous mining company. His last position was Director of Exploration in Australia, a task interrupted for three years while working for the German Ministry of Economics in the natural resources division. Wellmer also taught raw materials policy and economic geology at the Technical University Berlin. He was awarded honorary doctorates of the Technical Universities of Clausthal and Freiberg/Saxony, the two top German natural resources universities, and the Georg-Agricola-Denkmünze (medal), the highest award of the German mining industry.

Dr. Peter Buchholz  As an economic geologist, Peter Buchholz has been with the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) since 2005, and since 2012 he is heading the German Mineral Resources Agency (DERA) at the BGR. The main focus of DERA’s work is to provide market intelligence to assess potential price and supply risks in raw material markets as well as to develop mitigation strategies for the German industry to diversify supply sources. Before his time at the BGR he worked in the fields of ore deposit research, exploration and commodity trading. In 1995 he completed his PhD on Archaean gold deposits at the RWTH Aachen. Subsequently, he worked as assistant professor at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, and from 1998 to 2002 asdirector of the M.Sc. Programme in Exploration Geology at the University of Zimbabwe, after which he joined a commodity trading company. His research and entrepreneurial work has been awarded nationally and internationally.

Prof. Dr. (PhD ZA) Jens Gutzmer is the founding director of the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology. He is professor of economic geology and petrology at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany and a visiting professor at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. Born and raised in Lower Saxony, Germany, Jens Gutzmer received his Diplom in Mineralogy from the Technical University of Clausthal-Zellerfeld (Germany) in 1993, followed by a PhD in Geology from the Rand Afrikaans University (South Africa) in 1996. In 2005 he was appointed Full Professor of Geology at the University of Johannesburg, followed by a South African Research Chair in Geometallurgy in January 2008. He defines himself as an economic geologist with a keen interest in geometallurgy and metallogenetic processes during early evolution of the Earth System.

Professor Dr. rer. nat. Dr. h.c. mult. Rudolf Kurt Thauer, born 1939 in Frankfurt/Main, is Emeritus Professor at the Philipps-Universität Marburg, where he taught Microbiology from 1976 to 2005. From 1991 to 2007 he was a Director of the newly-founded Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg. After his retirement end of 2007, he continued to workat the Max Planck Institute as a research group leader until end of 2014. His main scientific interest is the biochemistry, physiology and ecology of strictly anaerobic microorganisms with a focus on their energy metabolism. His group was involved in many discoveries, amongst others that anaerobic bacteria and archaea require nickel for the synthesis of hydrogenases, carbon monoxide dehydrogenase and methyl-coenzyme M reductase, that coenzyme F430 in methanogenic archaea  is a nickel tetrapyrrole, that CO is an intermediate in CO2 reduction to acetyl-CoA in acetogens and anaerobic chemoautotrophs, that methanotrophic aerobic bacteria use cofactors and enzymes previously thought to be specific for methanogenic archaea, and that endergonic and exergonic redox processes in anaerobes can be coupled by a novel mechanism dubbed flavin-based electron bifurcation. For his work he received numerous awards (Warburg Medal 1984, Leibniz Preis 1987, Carus Medal 1992, Marjory Stephenson PrizeLecture 1998, Gauss Medal 2008, Leopoldina Merit Medal 2013) and honors (Honorary doctor degrees from the ETH Zürich 2001, University of Freiburg 2007 and University of Waterloo 2007). Since 1984 he is a member of the German National Academy of Science Leopoldina, and was member of its Presidium 2005-2010.
