Climate minerals: a difficult business

Welcome to another week with The Climate Tech Business.

One of the biggest bottlenecks in rolling out a large-scale decarbonization is securing the resources to do it.

There are different types of resources that we can deploy: financial capitals to scale infrastructures, human resources to run them, and technological know-how to make a better version of them.

But there is one key resources without which all of this can’t happen: raw materials.

Without raw materials, we can’t produce the final products needed to build low-carbon alternatives to existing one.

And there is a particular type of material that is at the center of the entire decarbonization chain: critical minerals.

Today, we’re going to explore this fascinating yet troublesome topic that resides at the core of the energy transition and the technology of climate change.
