This policy brief focuses on the challenges in the raw materials sector that will arise from the rapidly proceeding electrification of road transport. The required raw materials for batteries, particularly lithium and cobalt, will face a rapid increase in demand. Europe is highly import-dependent on both raw materials and battery cells. This policy brief identifies arising challenges for battery manufacturers, mining companies as well as the small-scale mining sector and gives recommendations for EU policy in this strategically relevant field. |
