Minerals and Metals to Meet the Needs of a Low-Carbon Economy

Minerals and Metals to Meet the Needs of a Low-Carbon Economy

Meeting the requirements of the Paris Agreement to keep the global average temperature from rising more than 2ºC above pre-industrial levels will mean vastly expanded use of low-carbon sources of electricity, such as wind and solar power, as well a...
