EU solar and wind push hinges on critical mineral supplies
Original: From gigawatts to critical mineral demands for EU solar and wind
New analysis argues that Europe's renewable energy transition must be measured not only in installed gigawatts of solar and wind capacity, but in the raw materials required to build it. Expanding EU solar panels and wind turbines to meet climate targets will sharply raise demand for critical minerals, raising questions about sourcing, supply security and recycling as the bloc seeks to reduce import dependence.
Why now: Concerns over critical mineral supply chains are growing as the EU scales up renewable energy deployment.
