At the heart of the clean energy transition lies a powerful yet often unseen foundation: critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, graphite, and rare earth elements.
These materials enable the batteries, wind turbines, and solar panels driving global decarbonization and fulfilling net zero commitments, as outlined in the International Energy Agency’s Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2025.
The IEA projects global demand for these resources to more than triple by 2035. Copper faces a potential shortfall without new projects, while lithium and cobalt demand has surged significantly and continues to rise.
Clean energy technologies account for a substantial portion of this demand growth, underscoring their pivotal role in advancing solutions related to climate mitigation.
