Updated Life Cycle Analysis of Molybdenum Products for Metallurgical Applications published

IMOA recently published an updated Life Cycle Analysis of Molybdenum Products for Metallurgical Applications. The products included in this updated 2024 LCI dataset are Molybdenite Concentrate, Technical Grade Molybdenum Oxide in powder and briquette forms, and Ferromolybdenum.

Sandra Carey, IMOA’s HSE Executive, commented:
“The significant reductions in carbon footprint between 2018 and 2024 are a very positive reflection of ongoing de-carbonization initiatives by companies within IMOA’s membership.  In particular, the increased use of renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuels is a significant factor driving these improvements.  The results will be welcomed by downstream users, such as the steel industry, for whom the molybdenum products are Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.’
