Boron global strategic resource

Boron Global Strategic Resource

Boron has only recently become recognised as a strategic resource in most countries globally. Boron and borates are in demand given the metals multiple uses and benefits in driving green planet and advanced energy solutions.

Boron Climate Risk

DECARBONIZATION

Boron and Climate Risk

Climate change is real. The impact of the physical climate risk is already affecting the living population. Boron is a low-cost and sustainable solution to help control climate change effects. Climate researchers consider boron an essential ingredient in reducing global warming. It is helpful as a catalyst for creating one or more hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) with lower greenhouse gas emissions. It is lesser than current HFCs commonly present in air conditioners, refrigerators, and other cooling devices.
