Critical Minerals: The Key to Scaling Renewable Energy

Critical minerals like copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt and rare earth elements are essential components of modern clean energy technologies - from wind turbines and power grids to electric vehicles. As the world transitions to renewable energy sources, demand for these minerals will skyrocket. However, extracting and processing the required quantities of critical minerals poses substantial challenges. Overcoming these obstacles will be key to scaling up wind, solar and other renewable technologies to meet global climate goals.
