清潔能源轉型中 CRM(關鍵原料)的成長機會Growth Opportunities for Critical Raw Materials in a Clean Energy Transition |
回收、採礦、精製和替代原料的創新點燃了新的區域供應鏈
CRM(關鍵原料)是指對一個國家或地區具有重要經濟和戰略意義,但供應風險較高的原料。關鍵性取決於多種因素,從一個角度來看重要的事情可能從另一個角度來看並不相同。例如,對太陽能電池板可能重要的東西對電池可能不重要,對一個國家可能重要的東西對其他國家可能不重要,這取決於可用資源和地緣政治情況。
本研究探討了在向清潔能源過渡中發揮關鍵作用的選定參考材料的回收、替代和精製。具體來說,它需要鈷、鋰、銅、鎳、釹和鏑(兩種最相關的稀土元素材料)和錳,以及如何從電動馬達和發電機、太陽能板、電力線和氫電解中回收它們。
該研究從採礦、地緣政治和供應鏈的角度描述了與每種材料相關的各種挑戰。我們也分析重要的法規和政策,例如歐盟的關鍵材料法案、美國的關鍵礦物聯邦戰略和加拿大的關鍵礦物戰略。
本研究涵蓋的其他領域包括電池的已建立和新的回收方法、稀土元素的已建立和新的回收方法、CRM的可替代性以及CRM採礦和提煉的創新等等。此外,在這些領域之一表現出色的公司也會受到關注。最後,我們討論該領域最大的成長機會。
Innovations in Recycling, Mining, Refining, and Substituting Materials Spark New Local Supply Chains
Critical raw materials (CRMs) are raw materials that are economically and strategically important for a country or region but have high risks associated with their supply. Criticality depends on various factors, and what counts as critical from a particular standpoint might not be the same from another standpoint. For instance, what might be critical for a solar panel might not be critical for a battery, and what might be considered critical for a particular country might not be critical for another, depending on the available resources and geopolitical scenarios.
This study examines recycling, substituting, and innovating in the mining and refining of particular CRMs that are key for the clean energy transition. Specifically, this study covers cobalt, lithium, copper, nickel, neodymium and dysprosium (the 2 most relevant rare earth materials), and manganese, looking at the ways they can be recovered from motors and generators, solar panels, transmission lines, and hydrogen electrolyzers.
The research describes different challenges involved with each of these materials, from both a mining and geopolitical and supply chain perspective. The analysis also looks at important regulations and policies, such as the European Union's Critical Raw Materials Act, the United States' Federal Strategy on Critical Minerals, and Canada's Critical Minerals Strategy.
Other areas covered in this research include established and emerging recycling methods for batteries, established and emerging recycling methods for rare earth elements, substitution potential in CRMs, and innovations in CRM mining and refining. Companies excelling in any of these areas are profiled. The study concludes with a discussion of the top growth opportunities in this space.
