Manganese Refining Cost Tracker
The manganese market has traditionally been shaped by steel trends with all steel production requiring manganese. While steel demand will continue to be the main driver of manganese consumption, its use in lithium-ion batteries is generating huge new demand for manganese oxides and sulphate. Use the manganese refining cost tracker to compare high-carbon ferromanganese (FeMn) and silicon manganese (SiMn) 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 FeMn and SiMn production, normalised on a US$/t basis.
Designed To:
- Compare the cost of high carbon ferromanganese and silicon manganese production from multiple assets and compare their performances on the industry cost curve.
- Provide a cost breakdown of high carbon ferromanganese and silicon manganese 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:
- 45 fully costed of high carbon ferromanganese and silicon manganese operations with cost data from 2015 to now.
- Operating cost curves for high carbon of high carbon ferromanganese and silicon manganese production – broken out by cost category and country.
