Minerals will be critical to clean energy future: IEA : Energy & Environment - World Nuclear News

Minerals will be critical to clean energy future: IEA : Energy & Environment - World Nuclear News: A mismatch between the world's climate ambitions and the availability of critical minerals could mean a slower and more expensive energy transition, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency. The Paris-based organisation describes its special report, The Role of Critical Minerals in Clean Energy Transitions, as the most comprehensive global study to date on the importance of minerals such as copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt and rare earth elements in a secure and rapid transformation of the global energy sector.
