Material and Resource Requirements for the Energy Transition

In this new report, the Energy Transitions Commission dives into the natural resources and materials needed to meet the needs of the energy transition, setting out how to expand supply of critical minerals quickly and sustainably.

A global coalition of leaders from across the energy landscape committed to achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century

Overview

The Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) is a global coalition of leaders from across the energy landscape working together to accelerate the transition to a zero-emissions future.

We develop transition roadmaps and tools building on robust analysis and extensive exchanges with experts and practitioners across energy-intensive value chains. This work is generally undertaken with a range of partners, industry associations, NGOs and experts. In the harder-to-abate sectors specifically, we work under the umbrella of the Mission Possible Platform, an initiative established by the ETC and the World Economic Forum.

Our main areas of focus

Our activities encompass the energy sector itself, as well as key energy-consuming sectors in industry, transport and buildings.

In each sector, we work with corporate leaders to define a pathway to net-zero emissions and establish the building blocks of net-zero value chains. This work is generally undertaken with a range of partners, industry associations, NGOs and experts. In the harder-to-abate sectors specifically, we work under the umbrella of the Mission Possible Platform, an initiative established by the ETC and the World Economic Forum.
