Electric vehicles, solar panels and wind turbines all rely on minerals and metals. Extracting them requires even more greenhouse gases.
of a green technological revolution, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. The transition to a low-carbon economy to mitigate climate change would not be possible without green technologies like electric vehicles, solar panels, wind turbines, and energy storage systems. However, these technologies rely on
—including copper, nickel, cobalt, and aluminum—whose production must increase significantly to meet demand.about 150 to 200 percent relative to 2020 production levels to meet the needs of green technology deployments. If production grows rapidly, the associated environmental impacts and greenhouse gas emissions are expected to rise as well. Under a business-as-usual scenario, the GHG emissions of copper and nickel may increase by
, respectively, by 2050. Therefore, decarbonizing the mining industry is an essential part of meeting global climate targets.Mining is an environmentally invasive process. Its impacts manifest in land use change, disturbance to local ecosystems, and GHG emissions, says Paolo Natali, a principal with RMI’s climate intelligence program who leads the Supply Chain Emissions Initiative.
