EU solar and wind buildout hinges on critical mineral supply

Original: From gigawatts to critical mineral demands for EU solar and wind

New research published in Nature examines how the European Union's expansion of solar and wind capacity will drive a sharp rise in demand for critical minerals. The analysis shifts focus from installed gigawatts to the raw materials needed, highlighting supply-chain vulnerabilities as the EU pursues its energy transition and decarbonisation targets.

Why now: Critical mineral supply is a pressing concern for Europe's renewable energy plans and energy security.
