Metals & mining

Clean energy technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs), batteries, and energy storage, along with clean power generation, are set to grow dramatically over the next decade. This growth will drive significant demand for critical minerals, including copper, nickel, cobalt, lithium, manganese, graphite, and rare earth elements (REEs).

A stable and adequate supply of these minerals will be essential to support clean energy deployment. Some critical minerals, such as copper, nickel, and manganese, will play key roles across both EVs and clean power generation, while demand growth for others is likely to vary widely.

Meanwhile, metals and mining operators must meet rising demand while reducing their environmental footprint, improving sustainability performance, and maintaining profitability.
