This is the first book that analyses the future raw materials
supply from the demand side of a society that chiefly relies on
renewable energies, which is of great significance for us all. It
addresses primary and secondary resources and substitution, not
only from technical but also socioeconomic and ethical points of
view. The "Energiewende" (Energy Transition) will change our
consumption of natural resources significantly. When in future our
energy requirements will be covered mostly by wind, solar power and
biomass, we will need less coal, oil and natural gas. However, the
consumption of minerals, especially metallic resources, will
increase to build wind generators, solar panels or energy storage
facilities. Besides e.g. copper, nickel or cobalt, rare earth
elements and other high-tech elements will be increasingly used.
With regard to primary metals, Germany is 100 % import dependent;
only secondary material is produced within Germany. Though
sufficient geological primary resources exist worldwide, their
availability on the market is crucial. The future supply of the
market is dependent on the development of prices, the transparency
of the market and the question of social and ethical standards in
the raw materials industry, as well as the social license to
operate, which especially applies to mining. The book offers a
valuable resource for everyone interested in the future raw
material supply of our way of life, which will involve more and
more renewable energies.
