WHAT METALS ARE REQUIRED FOR ENERGY TRANSITION?

There are a number of metals that are critical to the energy transition, including copper, lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements. These metals are used in the production of solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles, batteries, and other clean energy technologies. Copper is used in wiring and cables, lithium is used in batteries, cobalt and nickel are used in the production of electric vehicle batteries, and rare earth elements are used in the production of permanent magnets for wind turbines and electric vehicles.

WHICH METALS ARE USED IN RENEWABLE ENERGY?

There are a number of metals that are used in renewable energy technologies, including:

 

  • Copper: used in the wiring and cables of solar panels and wind turbines
  • Aluminum: used in the construction of wind turbines
  • Silver: used in the production of solar panels
  • Lead: used in some types of batteries for energy storage
  • Lithium: used in lithium-ion batteries for energy storage and electric vehicles
  • Nickel: used in some types of batteries for energy storage and in the production of electric vehicle batteries
  • Cobalt: used in the production of electric vehicle batteries
  • Rare earth elements: used in the production of permanent magnets for wind turbines and electric vehicles.

 

These are the most commonly used metals in the renewable energy sector, however the technology and the mix of materials used is rapidly evolving, and new materials and combinations are being studied and implemented.
