It highlights the unprecedented demand for materials such as copper and rare earth elements (REEs), which are essential for technologies including wind turbines, electric vehicles, and medical devices. The report examines the global economic landscape for these resources, noting current mining and refining dependencies, and outlines significant challenges regarding supply security, geopolitical stability, and the environmental impact of extraction. By addressing the needs of a growing population alongside sustainability and equity, the document frames the essential requirements for balancing industrial progress with responsible resource management and diversified supply chains to support worldwide green technology adoption.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/equitable-access-to-the-natural-resources-needed-to-achieve-net-zero/607990/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/equitable-access-to-the-natural-resources-needed-to-achieve-net-zero/607990.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"404brain","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-19","2026-10-17",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":14},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What are the primary natural resources mentioned as essential for the net-zero transition?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The document highlights copper and rare earth elements (REEs) as critical resources required for the transition to low-carbon or post-carbon energy systems.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What are the main challenges identified in supplying resources for the energy transition?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Key challenges include managing the security of supply, ensuring the diversity of sources, achieving sustainable resource recovery, and navigating a complex, changing geopolitical landscape while meeting the needs of an energy-hungry population.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"How has the global Rare Earth Element (REE) landscape changed in terms of production?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The document indicates a significant concentration in the REE industry, with China holding a dominant share—approximately 89% to 90%—in various stages of mining, separation, and refining.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},607990,1792449020,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":14,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},1099529839291,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_6f874abed73319feea01a86fa6f0fab8","Equitable Access to the Natural Resources Needed to Achieve Net Zero  \nMichael Kendall  \nMotivation  \nThe transition towards a low-carbon or post-carbon ‘Net-Zero’futureunprecedented demand on a wide range of natural resources:  \nMcKinsey analysis, 2021  \nMotivation  \nThe transition towards a low-carbon or post-carbon ‘Net-Zero’futureunprecedented demand on a wide range of natural resources:  \nCopper  \nMcKinsey analysis, 2021  \nLight Rare Earth Elements   \nHeavy Rare Earth Elements  \nREE are essential for the Net Zero energy transition  \nRare Earths  \nBe  \nMg  \nLa  \nAc  \nWind turbine  \nElectric vehicle  \nDy  \nMRI Scanner  \nLight Rare Earth Elements   \nHeavy Rare Earth Elements  \nDefence Semiconductor Smart phone  \nGlobal REE economic landscape  \nREE Annual Demand:(tonne)  \n550,000 500,000 450,000 400,000 350,000 300,000 250,000 200,000 150,000  \n100,000  \n540,000  \n120,000  \n190,000  \n330,000  \n2010 2020 2030 2040  \n90% 89%  \n70% Mining  \nSeparation  \nRefining  \n CHINA  RoW  \nCritical metals for the Energy Transition  \nChallenges: Increased demand-Security of supply-Diversity of sources-Sustainable recovery 8  \nEnergy  \n• Geopolitical expedience  \n• Improved recycling  \n• New green technologies  \n• Disruptive raw materials recovery  \n9  \nKey challenges!  \n• How do we supply these resources to a growing and energy hungry population?
