Impediments and solutions to meeting the world’s demand for Critical Raw Materials

Recent flooding and extreme heatwaves around the world have heightened concerns about the need to
meet Net Zero and other ‘green’ targets. Politicians in many countries recognise this, as well as
appreciating the dominance of certain countries, China in particular, across the Critical Raw Materials
(CRMs) supply chain. What few understand, however, is that we need to significantly increase the supply
of CRMs if we hope to meet Net Zero and other ESG targets.
