Luleå University of Technology (Luleå, Sweden) – Special workshop – Future of critical raw materials in energy transition

Topic motivation

Critical minerals and metals are indispensable for clean energy transition, including accelerated investments on batteries for electric vehicles and stationary electricity storage, electrolyzers, wind turbines, solar photovoltaic systems, and other new infrastructures. A scarcity and increasing concerns on security of supply of these materials could impede progress toward the well-below 2°C target. This workshop provides insights on the global demands and security of supply for selected critical raw materials in advancing the clean energy transition.
