Highlights

• The possibility of silver-based catalytic converters. In 2003 a bill was passed by the congress to study the use of silver in the automotive catalytic process. Research and testing is currently being carried out in a three-year government program.
• New developments in superconductors require silver tape. A new form of cabling has recently been developed which can carry more electrical current in much smaller spaces with far less resistance. This new technology (Nobel Prize awarded in 2003) should one day replace old power grids, especially in larger cities where space is at a premium and large electrical loads a necessity.
• Environmentally friendly replacement of lead based solders (silver is unique in that it can join many different metals together at temperatures well below the metals melting point). The European Union law, which bans the use of lead based solders,comes into effect on July 1, 2006. Silver used as solder accounted for some 37.5 M ounces in 2004, and is likely to increase significantly in the coming year because of the EU's decision.
