A Long-Term Strategy for Climate, Nature and Energy

Avoiding a Crunch in Critical Minerals

Speakers: Benedikt Sobotka, Jason Bordoff, Zeng Yuqun, Leila Benali, Sumant Sinha

The clean energy transition hinges on a radical increase in supply of critical minerals – by 2030, cobalt demand could rise by 150% and lithium and graphite by six to seven times from today's levels.

With long lead times for new supply, how can investments and new collaborations throughout the value chains prevent a crunch in critical minerals?
