Annual manufacture and accumulated equipment

The accelerated scenario makes 409.6 million new robots during 2036 and accumulates about 1.053 billion manufactured over 2027 to 2036. The operating fleet then deducts actual permanent retirements. Annual flow and accumulated equipment answer different questions.

Retain repair and renew

In the worked overhaul, a 60 kg robot retains 42 kg. Its 18 kg module allowance can include 2 kg of reconditioned parts and 16 kg of newly supplied material. One million such jobs therefore need 16,000 tonnes of new modules while retaining 42,000 tonnes of equipment.

Power during the day and stored energy overnight

Illustrative repeated day: 6 GW of solar nameplate at 25 per cent capacity factor supplies a constant 1 GW load with 20 GWh of usable internal storage and 95 per cent efficiency in each direction. The plot separates instantaneous power from stored energy. Weather and seasonal adequacy need their own time series.

The elements inside source compounds

Chemical composition supplies one conversion. Ore grade supplies another. Recovery supplies a third. The feedstock calculator applies all three, so a compound, an ore and refined metal remain separate quantities.
