European critical raw materials targets for import diversification, domestic production, processing and recycling under the Critical Raw Materials Act

European critical raw materials strategy faces major supply challenges

European critical raw materials remain central to the continent’s energy transition ambitions, but efforts to secure supply are being undermined by import dependence, financing bottlenecks, permitting delays and slow progress in diversifying supply chains. A new assessment finds that while the EU has established a strategic framework for critical raw materials, significant weaknesses remain in domestic production, recycling and supply […]

Mining corridors key to Africa’s critical mineral supply chains

This report examines how mining corridors across Africa could unlock the continent’s vast critical mineral resources, strengthen supply chain resilience and reshape global access to energy transition materials. This report argues that corridor-based infrastructure linking mines to rail, ports, power and processing hubs is the most effective way to bring Africa’s critical mineral wealth to global markets. Using the US-backed […]

South Africa hydrogen production sites linked to platinum group metals resources

Platinum group metals emerge as hydrogen’s strategic bottleneck

Platinum group metals are emerging as a critical constraint on the expansion of the global hydrogen economy due to their essential role in electrolysers and fuel cells. South Africa, which dominates global PGM reserves and production, holds a potential strategic advantage in supplying materials required for hydrogen technologies. The report highlights how this resource position could support industrial development, export […]
