When electricity op-ex is free, as from panels, electrolysis is too.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoThats like fantasy ecobomics - you have to consider electricity at market price for the comparison to be meaningfull. Electricity is currently much more expensive than it was last year. Aluminium refineries use OP-ex heavy, so the day your dream of cheap electricity materialises, aluminium will become nearly free
- ncmncm 4y agoYes, as energy production prices fall, prices for commodities that depend on it will, too. Aluminum is today "nearly free" by standards of a century ago. We will still need to mine bauxite or collect recycled cans, and handle ingots.
