Critical Materials For The Energy Transition
This technical paper assesses how the growth of renewables will put critical materials at the centre of the energy transformation. The critical materials and their supply situation and outlook are discussed, with a focus on copper and neodymium.
The technical paper on Critical Materials for the Energy Transition emphasises that an accelerated energy transition requires a growing supply of critical materials , with Chapter 7 of the IRENA's World Energy Transition Outlook 2022 further elaborating on these materials .
IRENA Critical Materials
The energy transition will substantially increase demand for certain critical minerals and metals that are essential to renewable energy technologies and electric vehicles. This increased demand may strain supply of these materials if not properly planned for. - Critical materials supply will need to rapidly increase to meet projected demand by 2030 and 2050. However, strategies like ...
This technical paper by IRENA addresses the increasing demand for critical materials driven by the global energy transition, particularly in renewable energy technologies, electrification, and energy efficiency. It highlights potential supply chain challenges, geopolitical risks, and strategies to mitigate these issues, including increased extraction, product redesign, material substitution ...

Sta Technical Papers are pro duced by IRENA pers onnel as a contribution to tech nical discussio ns and to disseminate
IRENA expects the technical evolution of critical materials to be shaped by three shifting and overlapping dynamics. The first dynamic, most dominant in the short to medium term, will be marked by physical constraints and challenges in keeping up with rising demand for certain critical materials .
