Critical mineral materials for low-carbon energy system
https://doi.org/10.55959/MSU0579-9406-4-2023-63-3-3-10
Abstract
The transition towards low-carbon energy technologies based on renewable energy sources will come with an increasing demand for raw mineral materials in the coming decades. This investigation is to define what metals and industrial minerals will play a critical role in scaled-up production of these technologies.
