Critical Energy Transition Minerals: A Path to Equitable and Sustainable Global Energy Future
The global shift towards renewable energy presents an enormous opportunity, but it also introduces significant challenges, particularly when it comes to the sourcing of critical energy transition minerals (CETMs). These minerals, such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements (REEs), are essential components for the technologies driving the energy transition. With the demand for these minerals set to nearly triple by 2030 and quadruple by 2040, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the…
