Renewables require production boom of rare earth materials for clean energy transition. @IEA Critical Minerals Report 2021: Mineral demand for clean energy techn. would rise by 4X by 2040 to meet climate goals. Energy transitions will have far-reaching consequences for mining! 
Meanwhile mining Capex... Large future deficits in metals expected. #metals #miners #EnergyTransition

Lithium is a basic component of lithium-ion batteries, enabling flow of electrical currents. Because of the metal’s light weight, long life, large storage capacity & easy recharging, demand will grow to power #EVs.

.@IEA predicts 95% new RE installed capacity by 2026. Over time, global energy transitions will fundamentally alter mineral and energy resource flows.

The price of batteries for electric vehicles looks set to rise in 2022 following a decade of sharp decline as supplies of lithium and other raw materials fail to keep up with ballooning demand. #EVs #RareEarth asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Mark…
The German-Australian company aims to start commercial production of lithium by 2024 in the Upper Rhine Valley along the French-German border.

🇺🇸 U.S. reliance on foreign sources for raw & processed mineral materials is growing. In 2021, U.S. imports made up more than half of U.S. consumption of 47 mineral commodities, of those minerals, the U.S. is 100% net import reliant for 17 of them. #RareEarth #NetZero

An ambitious fast-track decarbonized #Energy Transition and decarbonized energy network is highly material intensive.Scaling up solar, wind & batteries means scaling up mining of the refined minerals they require. In the commodity world,that leads to price volatility & inflation.
