What’s the environmental impact of critical minerals?

Did you know that a significant amount of critical mineral production takes place in areas facing heightened human rights risks? As illustrated in our chart, this includes a host of minerals that are vital to green technologies, such as cobalt, copper, graphite, and nickel. This poses a challenge for companies involved in the energy transition, who are having to strike a balance between sourcing critical minerals and complying with an increasingly stringent set of human rights and environmental due diligence (HREDD) obligations.

#NEW 📝 🌟 Division of Minerals Sustainability 🌟 📝 This #factsheet provides information on #FECM’s Division of Minerals Sustainability and the efforts of advancing a research, development, and demonstration portfolio geared toward increasing the domestic production of critical minerals & materials in the U.S. ➡️ https://bit.ly/44thk6x ✅ America’s Need for and Potential to Supply Critical Minerals ✅ Accelerating the Domestic Production of Critical Minerals and Valuable Carbon Products ✅ Unconventional and Secondary Sources ✅ Advanced Carbon Material Production ✅ Future Research Activities

Did you know that almost the entire periodic table of elements can be found in coal, so coal, coal by-products, and coal waste can provide the critical minerals and materials used for batteries, wind turbines, semiconductors, electrolyzers, and other technologies needed to reach the nation’s clean energy goals and provide for our national defense.  See this coal fact sheet and the fact sheet below. https://lnkd.in/d5fua9PM

🌍 The world is shifting towards clean energy and digital technologies, increasing demand for critical minerals like copper, lithium, and cobalt. This increase in demand offers opportunities but also poses risks, especially for developing countries. The race for these minerals isn't just about economics. It's also about sustainability and ethics. In developing areas, unchecked mining of these minerals can cause environmental harm, health problems, and social inequalities. The International Energy Agency (2021) predicts that the demand for minerals necessary for clean technologies will quadruple by 2040 to meet climate goals. It is vital to balance economic gains with effective governance systems to avoid a potential "new curse of critical minerals." IMPACT is at the forefront of transforming how these natural resources are managed in areas where security and human rights are at risk. By collaborating with local communities, governments, and industry stakeholders, we investigate and develop approaches to improve security, development, and equality. This article by Rabah Arezki and Frederick Van Der Ploeg explores the new curse of critical minerals and what needs to be done to ensure our pursuit of a greener future does not compromise the rights and environments of communities:

Kevin Ernst joins the Critical Minerals Institute Board: A game-changer or a gamble? With 30+ years in financial markets and a global perspective, Ernst’s appointment aims to advance sustainable critical minerals development. But questions linger about how his expertise aligns with the sector's unique challenges—will he deliver the innovation the industry demands? #CriticalMinerals #Sustainability #RareEarthElements #GreenTech #Innovation Read the full article on Rare Earth Exchanges: https://lnkd.in/gb7qxCQY
