Europe must act fast to secure supplies of crucial metals required for a green energy transition and its best bet is to recycle, a report said on Monday.
PARIS -
But expanding clean technologies will require substantial inputs of raw metals and - in initial stages at least - much of this will probably have to be imported, according to the study by Belgium's KU Leuven university. For now, the EU remains import-dependent for much of these metals and, the study warns, "there is growing concern about the security of supply".
If it is to meet climate and social goals, Europe will need to find external suppliers with better environmental and rights records, the report said.
