From fossil fuels to metals and minerals: Navigating global resource challenges in the energy transition
Renewable energy systems introduce an unprecedented rise in demand for multiple raw materials. In a recent <i>Cell Reports Sustainability</i> article, Qiu et al. show the need for huge increases in the supply of twelve key materials for the power sector by 2050. Here, we broaden the perspective to ultimately derive solutions to successfully navigate material bottlenecks of the energy transition.
