Drivers and barriers of voluntary sustainability initiatives in mining raw materials for batteries
Exploration of drivers/barriers to VSI adoption in mining raw materials for batteries. • Thematically analyzed literature to VSI adoption in mining. • Market access and community communication drive adoption; greenwashing hinders legitimacy. • Robust VSIs needed to align mining at global south with ESG demands at global north. The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EV) is growing demand for battery raw materials including lithium, cobalt, …
Effects of the energy transition on environmental impacts of cobalt supply
Cobalt is considered a key metal in the energy transition, and demand is expected to increase substantially by 2050. This demand is for an important part because of cobalt use in (electric vehicle) batteries. This study investigated the environmental impacts of the production of cobalt and how these could change in the future. We modeled possible future developments in the cobalt supply chain using four variables: (v1) ore grade, (v2) primary mar…
Environmental impacts of key metals' supply and low‐carbon technologies are likely to decrease in the future
The environmental benefits of low-carbon technologies, such as photovoltaic modules, have been under debate because their large-scale deployment will require a drastic increase in metal production. This is of concern because higher metal demand may induce ore grade decline and can thereby further intensify the environmental footprint of metal supply. To account for this interlinkage known as the “energy-resource nexus”, energy and metal supply sc…
Toward a dynamic evaluation of mineral criticality
A new methodology to quantify minerals’ criticalities is proposed—the criticality systems of minerals. In this methodology, four types of agents —mineral suppliers, consumers, regulators of the market, and others, such as the communities near mining operations—interact with each other through three types of indicators : constraints , such as the political stability in the mining regions, the mineral's substitutability and economic importance; age…
