Fluorspar Refined Cost Tracker
Increasingly tight environmental regulations have promoted closures and consolidation in both acidspar and metspar production in China, hitting output levels and causing prices to rise. China, the world’s largest producer, has thus increased acidspar and metspar imports to meet domestic demand. Use the fluorspar extractive cost tracker to compare hydrofluoric (HF) acid operation production costs across the industry. The cost tracker allows you to examine current and historic cost performance on an asset-by-asset basis, comparing financial performance from 2015 to now. The tracker enables a user to understand the forces underpinning the costs of hydrofluoric acid production, normalised on a US$/t HF basis.
Designed To:
- Compare the cost of HF production from multiple assets and compare their performances on the industry cost curve.
- Provide a cost breakdown of HF production from each asset worldwide.
- Granular operating cost information for all assets on fuel, electricity, labour, fuel, etc.
- Help understand historic and current price directions as production costs impact supply.
- Provide independent industry cost analysis.
Includes:
- 72 fully costed hydrofluoric acid operations with cost data from 2015 to now.
- Operating cost curves for HF production – broken out by cost category and country.
