Yes, you read this article\u2019s title correctly. We still need to produce essentials like food and shelter for a growing human population which requires an increase in energy consumption, but it\u2019s the emissions <\/em>that need to reach zero. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s natural to discuss the opportunity cost of choosing a clean technology over one that emits more greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This cost is called the Green Premium<\/em>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what\u2019s less recognised are the critical minerals <\/em>that are required to make breakthroughs in energy and climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Geoscience Australia, a critical mineral is an element with two characteristics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. <\/em>Essential for the functioning of our modern technologies, economies, or national security including mobile phones, laptops, aerospace, <\/em>and medical applications<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>There is a risk that its supply chains could be disrupted by events such as pandemics <\/em>and natural disasters<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pick which product paths – with scale, will become low green-premium products now and in the future towards net zero by 2050.
