Materials
Sulfuric acid
The world’s most-produced industrial chemical and a keystone input for phosphate fertilizer, battery-metal (nickel/cobalt) leaching, copper hydrometallurgy, and broad chemicals. Largely a BYPRODUCT of metal smelting and oil/gas desulfurization, so supply structurally falls as smelters close and fuels get cleaner — even as battery and fertilizer demand surge.
