Securing Minerals for the Energy Transition 2
Executive summary
The world is on an ambitious path to decarbonize
and achieve net-zero emissions. However, critical
minerals essential for key emissions-reduction
technologies may be in short supply by 2030.
Historical underinvestment in mining and
exploration, as well as supply chain disruptions,
are already creating demand-supply gaps. So
are lengthy lead times between exploration and
production, on top of the fact that often these
minerals have complex orebodies, making them
difficult and costly to extract. If current trends hold,
many minerals’ supply may fall short of demand by
2030, potentially jeopardizing short-term climate
goals and driving further price volatility.
It is crucial to identify and understand key supply-
chain risks to manage the minerals-related
obstacles for the energy transition. Two types
of risks are associated with the supply-demand
gap of critical minerals: (i) risks associated with
the inability to close the supply-demand gap and
(ii) risks associated with the efforts to close the
supply-demand gap. Both could significantly delay
the energy transition. These risks threaten to disrupt
the supply chain beyond the mining and metals
industry, delay the energy transition, and have
deleterious social and environmental outcomes.
This report identifies 10 high-priority risk
management strategies for these key minerals.
These strategies are designed to: reduce resource
intensity; mobilize investment; leverage alternative
financing; increase data transparency; address
price uncertainty; increase value-add for local
communities; encourage dialogue on policy design;
accelerate innovation; address lack of consistency
among mining-related environmental, social and
governance (ESG) standards; and streamline mining
projects’ approval. They are essential for creating a
more resilient and sustainable mining industry that
can meet the growing demand for critical minerals
in a responsible and equitable manner.
Effective risk management requires stakeholders
to collectively reduce and adapt to supply-chain
risks. Global collaboration can raise awareness and
drive action to tackle the disparity in the supply
and demand of critical minerals. On the contrary,
isolated efforts by governments, the private sector
and non-profit organizations are unlikely to address
the energy transition challenge. Collaboration
is necessary to unify efforts, mitigate regional
imbalances and ensure sufficient and equitable
supply of critical minerals.
The key themes for global collaboration include
facilitating policy dialogue, supporting investment
mobilization, accelerating innovation, evaluating
gaps in existing ESG standards, and building
capabilities across the value chain. This report dives
into the critical role of three priority collaborative
actions – facilitating policy dialogue, supporting
investment mobilization and accelerating innovation.
