The global mineral raw materials markets are everchanging, presenting the German economy and our society with new challenges. Thus, recognising potential raw material supply bottlenecks at an early stage is essential. In-depth market knowledge and analyses on current and future supply and demand are cornerstones of our service. Aimed at companies and political stakeholders alike, detailed market-based advisory services are a quality feature of DERA.
According to the comprehensive DERA study, the raw material demand for emerging technologies will increase significantly. This is mainly due to the energy transition, the mobility transition and digitalisation. For a total of eleven metals, the demand in 2040 could be significantly higher than the current global production. The 33 most important emerging technologies were examined in three different scenarios.
Hydrogen offers great potential to decarbonise various industries and thus contribute to climate neutrality. The prerequisite is a climate-neutral production of hydrogen.
This booklet provides information on mineral raw materials which are needed for the production of climate-neutral hydrogen and their potential supply risk.
