 Importance of Various Minerals in the Transition to a Low-Carbon Energy System

  • Transitioning to a low-carbon energy system requires moving away from coal, oil, and gas to minerals essential for renewable technologies.

  • Minerals are vital for developing solar, wind, nuclear, and other low-carbon energy sources.

  • Identifying countries with abundant mineral reserves is crucial for ensuring a steady supply for energy technologies

Minerals and Their Significance in Renewable Energy Technologies

  • Bauxite: Primary source of aluminum

    • Essential for wind turbines, solar panels, batteries, electrolyzers, and transmission cables.

  • Chromium: Key for geothermal and concentrated solar power

    • Used in wind turbines, and for radiation shielding in nuclear power plants.

  • Cobalt: Used in consumer electronics, catalysts for the oil industry, resistant metal alloys, critical components in many lithium-ion battery technologies.

  • Copper: Critical element in solar photovoltaics, wind power, battery storage, and electricity grids.

  • Graphite: Key component of battery anodes and therefore important for the transition to electric vehicles, and stationary batteries for balancing electricity grids.

  • Lithium: Core component of lithium-ion batteries

  • Manganese: Widely used in solar and wind power, and in lithium-ion batteries for electric cars

  • Molybdenum: Has a very high electrical conductivity but expands little when exposed to heat

  • Nickel: Key component in the cathodes of lithium-ion batteries in electric cars.

  • Rare earths: Used in wind power for permanent magnets.

  • Silver: It’s most important role in clean energy is in solar photovoltaics and electric vehicles.

  • Uranium: Primary fuel for nuclear energy production.
