Find out about the data that's been collected on global mineral reserves, as the world gradually moves toward renewable energy.
About this event
The estimated total quantity of raw materials to manufacture one generation of renewable technology units (solar panels, wind turbines, etc.) to completely phase out fossil fuels (replace the fossil fuel technology existing system) was collected. This was achieved by assembling the needed number of units against the estimated metal content for individual battery chemistries, wind turbines, solar panels, and electric vehicles. It was shown that both 2019 global mine production and 2022 global reserves were nowhere near adequate for copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, and vanadium. These data-based conclusions suggest that lithium-ion battery chemistry is not viable to scale up to the needed scope for the whole global market, and it is recommended to develop alternative battery chemistries. The calculated shortfall in copper and nickel production was of concern, as both metals are vital to the existing economy and have no clear substitute or alternative.
