Hace 4 días · Demand for graphite, copper, and nickel, alongside other minerals, is going to push critical mineral demand nearly four times higher in 2040. This transition is in line with the Paris Agreement's goals of promoting clean energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to meet global climate challenges and support sustainable development.
Hace 3 días · The European Union faces the challenge of securing a sustainable supply of critical raw materials such as phosphorus, helium and magnesium. Whether a raw material is classified as critical depends on its economic importance and on the risk of its supply being disrupted (“supply risk”).
Hace 4 días · So, while the green transition away from fossil raw material is indeed underway, it is clear that the shift is dependent on a complex web of factors, which need to be properly understood and dealt with holistically, so that we can come to a new world order for energy as effectively and fairly as possible. As the tide slowly changes, let’s ...
Hace 3 días · Climate physical risk from extreme weather disaster may damage the physical resilience of energy infrastructure (e.g., Pipelines network of natural gas and electric transport network; Levermann, 2014; Mullan et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2023), further leading to a fundamental imbalance between energy supply and demand. The risk spillover effect ...
Hace 3 días · With the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), the European Union has enshrined raw materials supply security in law for the first time. Among other things, it stipulates that by 2030, the bloc must extract ten percent of its demand for strategic raw materials itself, process 40 percent itself and cover 25 percent through recycling.
Hace 4 días · “[This Act] will significantly improve the refining, processing and recycling of critical raw materials here in Europe. Raw materials are vital for manufacturing key technologies for our twin transition – like wind power generation, hydrogen storage or batteries.
Hace 4 días · Options can then be developed to minimise supply risks and increase resilience. The EU has addressed the issue of raw material criticality, including through strong engagement in R&I for CRM. EU policy, from the 2008 raw materials initiative to the recent Critical Raw Materials Act, has stressed the role of R&I.
