The roasting process will be energy intensive and i'm sure all of the spodumene (and zinnwaldite) projects will be crunching the numbers with the huge price increase in natural gas. I'm struggling to get my head around why it has been such a big increase; I think the groningen gas field, in the Netherlands, has come off line to a large extent. Relying on Russia for a replacement supply is questionable , to say the least.
We should remember that ZNWD, EMH, SAV are a long way from production and that gas/energy prices may well be more stable by then, but it must be a big concern for them all.
I've always thought it ironic that a green energy company, Solarworld, were the original owners of the site and that they went bust.......seems they were ahead of their time
