África, el cementerio del móvil que ya no utilizas (in Spanish)

Vivimos en un mundo donde los móviles nos invaden. Las tiendas están llenas de nuevos modelos que nos tientan a reemplazar el que tenemos. Además, entramos en una rueda en la que cada vez nos duran menos en las manos porque optamos por cambiarlos por nuevos antes que repararlos. Pero, ¿sabes de dónde salen los minerales claves para el funcionamiento del último móvil que te compras y dónde va a parar el que tiras a la basura?

LNG to Europe? Ramped-up export sales are just a pipe dream, research shows

Despite the European Union striving to slash its demand for Russian gas by two-thirds by the end of this year and to end all its dependence on Russian fossil fuels by 2027, there’s no path for liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Canada to help the continent meet its short-term energy needs, the International Institute for Sustainable Development concluded in a policy brief in August.

Reality check: exporting Canadian LNG won't help Europe but will hurt Canada's economy

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing energy crisis mean Europe is desperate for energy, sparking renewed interest in developing liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities on Canada’s East Coast. After proponents’ hopes for a Germany-Canada LNG export deal were dashed in favour of green hydrogen in August, some argue that Canada is missing an opportunity to take advantage of its natural gas resources and today’s record-breaking gas prices. But this ignores a host of realities. Specifically, the reality of timing, the reality of energy markets, and the reality of economics.
