EU solar and wind expansion hinges on critical mineral supplies
Original: From gigawatts to critical mineral demands for EU solar and wind
Research published in Nature examines how the European Union's planned build-out of solar and wind capacity translates into demand for critical minerals. The study shifts focus from installed gigawatts to the raw materials required, highlighting supply chain pressures the EU faces as it scales renewables toward its energy and climate targets.
Why now: Critical mineral supply chains are a pressing concern for Europe's renewable energy transition.
