The infrastructure built to support the global energy transition could gradually become a source of the very materials needed for its future expansion. Batteries, solar panels, electricity networks, and other technologies contain significant quantities of processed minerals, and as these assets reach the end of their useful lives, recycling could
The search for critical minerals is increasingly drawing attention to resources that are already above ground. Across the world, decades of mining, fertilizer production, metallurgy, and energy generation have left behind enormous quantities of industrial residues. Some of these materials still contain elements that have become strategically important for modern
The global expansion of renewable energy reached another significant milestone in 2025, but the pace of deployment may have to increase considerably over the remainder of the decade. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), approximately 593 GW of renewable capacity was added worldwide last year, taking the global
The search for critical minerals is increasingly drawing attention to the complexity of the geological systems in which they occur. An exploration program may begin with a clearly defined target, but new drilling and geological data can reveal additional elements capable of changing how the overall mineral potential of an
Critical minerals have become an increasingly prominent part of Europe’s industrial strategy, particularly as demand for materials connected to energy technologies and advanced manufacturing continues to develop. The European Union has responded by establishing specific targets, identifying strategic projects, and introducing mechanisms designed to support investment across the raw
Saudi Arabia’s mineral ambitions are gaining a new dimension as exploration activities bring greater attention to the Kingdom’s potential rare earth resources. Recent findings in the Jabal Sayid area, located in the Madinah region, could become particularly relevant as countries worldwide seek to expand and diversify the supply
The geography of the global mining industry is changing. Mineral deposits remain the starting point of every resource supply chain, but extraction alone no longer defines the strategic importance of a mining region. Refining, processing, technological expertise, and the capacity to manufacture advanced products are becoming increasingly relevant to countries
The expansion of renewable energy is changing more than the sources used to generate electricity. It is also affecting the structure of electricity systems, creating new connections between households, storage technologies, and the grid. A recent Reuters analysis highlights how residential solar panels and home batteries could become increasingly relevant
Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, explores how Kenya’s mineral strategy and the renewed international attention surrounding Mrima Hill could contribute to the development of more integrated critical mineral supply chains in Africa. Key takeaway: The growing attention surrounding Kenya’s rare earth and niobium resources is part of
Wind power has undergone a remarkable geographical expansion over the past few decades. Turbines that were once primarily associated with fields and open countryside are now common sights along coastlines and across offshore areas. The next stage of this evolution could take wind energy even farther out to sea. Floating
Brazil is taking concrete steps to turn its vast rare earth resources into a broader industrial opportunity. Recent developments reported by AP News and CNN Brazil indicate that the country is combining new legislation, public financing, research capabilities, and international cooperation to strengthen its position across the critical minerals value
The rapid expansion of solar and wind power is changing the way electricity systems operate. Producing renewable electricity at scale is only part of the challenge: grids also need technologies capable of managing fluctuations in generation and making surplus electricity available when demand rises. Pumped hydro storage is emerging as
