The ESG Challenges for Transition Metals

By Elements

Mined commodities like lithium, cobalt, graphite and rare earths are critical to producing electric vehicles (EVs), wind turbines, and other technologies necessary to burn fewer fossil fuels and reduce overall carbon emissions.

EVs, for example, can have up to six times more minerals than a combustion vehicle. As a result, the extraction and refining of these metals will need to be expedited to limit the rise of global temperatures.
