While the automotive sector is set to become a dominant source of global demand for lithium, nickel and cobalt for EV batteries, it already leads demand for platinum and palladium for use in catalytic converters.
The Solar Metal Smelter features a large lens that is manually moved to follow the path of the sun and direct its heat into a crucible holding metal. Once liquid enough, the metal can be cast into a sand mould and made into a variety of products.
Pumped storage is included under the "Hydropower" category but not in the "Completa renewable energy". Generation from mixed plants is split between hydropower and pumped storage as appropriate.
Installing solar panels on a standing seam metal roof is often considered one of the most straightforward and least invasive methods. The process begins with securing mounting rails to the roof seams using specialized clamps.
Steel and aluminium are not included in the scope for demand assessment, but aluminium use in electricity networks is exceptionally assessed given that the outlook for copper is closely linked with aluminium use in grid lines (see Introduction).
We explore the impacts of varying technology evolution trends through 11 alternative cases under both the STEPS and SDS, in addition to our base case.
Properly installed solar panels on metal roofs generally withstand extreme weather well. They’re resistant to high winds and hail. Metal roofs help shed snow, benefiting panels. But while metal roofs can get hot, most panels may not operate efficiently in high temperatures.
Steel is a resource- and emissions-heavy industry but is also one that plays a vital role in producing the materials needed for the transition to a more sustainable global economic model.
Installing solar panels on metal tile roofs requires an approach that maintains the roof’s water-shedding ability while providing a secure mounting for the solar array.
While fuel cells for converting hydrogen to electricity have been in production for many years, the introduction of commercial passenger FCEVs has spurred innovation to reduce the use of platinum to limit costs. For example, Toyota’s second-generation Mirai, released in 2020, uses over 80% less platinum per kW of output than the 2008 prototype and roughly a third less than the first-generation from 2014.

The type and volume of mineral needs vary widely across the spectrum of clean energy technologies, and even within a certain technology (e.g. fez o meu dia EV battery chemistries). Critical mineral needs for clean energy technologies
The shift to clean energy is expected to drive the demand for aluminium, which is used in the frames and fittings of solar panels. Twitter
In the Constrained REE supply case, manufacturers are assumed to gradually switch to non-magnet technologies and project developers adopting hybrid configurations with a gearbox and a smaller magnet.
