Raw materials are a significant element in the cost structure of many technologies required in the energy transition. Metal demand for clean energy technologies would rise at least 4x by 2040 to meet climate goals, particularly EV related metals. Without copper, lithium, cobalt, rare earths etc. there will be no energy transition.
