Minerals and Metals to Meet the Needs of a Low-Carbon Economy
Meeting the requirements of the Paris Agreement to keep the global average temperature from rising more than 2ºC above pre-industrial levels will mean vastly expanded use of low-carbon sources of electricity, such as wind and solar power, as well a...

Meeting the requirements of the Paris
Agreement to keep the global average temperature from rising
more than 2ºC above pre-industrial levels will mean vastly
expanded use of low-carbon sources of electricity, such as
wind and solar power, as well as advanced technologies for
long-term energy storage. These demands will increase demand
for many minerals, including a range of base and rare earth
metals. By planning ahead, resource rich developing
countries can prepare themselves to meet the challenges and
opportunities afforded by increased demand for minerals. |
