The End of the Iron Age
Part 1
Since the Bronze Age collapse, the Iron Age has came about which we still are in today. Ages come and go and the Iron Age is no exception, but when & how will it happen?
According to the world steel association's 2023 report, "1.885 billion metric tons of iron was mined in 2023."
2% used in home appliances
3% used in electrical equipment
5% used in cargo and product transportation (ships, trains, planes, containers)
10% used in metal products (hammers, knives, tools etc)
12% used in automotive manufacturing
16% used in heavy machinery
52% used in infrastructure (homes, buildings, railways, bridges etc)
According to the US Geological Survey,
"World resources are estimated to be greater than 800 billion tons of crude ore containing more than 230 billion tons of iron."
230 billion tons of new iron left ÷ 1.885 billion tons of new iron mined per year (per 2023 data) = 122 years of new iron left from 2023 if demand stays the same
2023+122 = 2145 aka the end of the Iron Age.
