Cobalt global supply and demand balances in the transition to electric mobility are due to become an issue.
In the future, global demand for critical materials will be higher than current supplies and this puts the EU in a vulnerable position.
Green sustainable energy and transport requires raw materials that may soon be in short supply. How critical is it?
Introducing four strategies that the EU could use to mitigate the risk of a shortage of these critical materials. To summarize, all four of these mitigation strategies should be implemented in order for the EU to transition to a more sustainable future.
