Report: Increased need for metals and minerals – strategies, conflicts of objectives and interests

Sweden needs a new mineral strategy to manage the increased extraction of metals and minerals that the transition to a fossil-free and sustainable society entails. The strategy needs to take the increased demands as a starting point and manage the conflicts of objectives and interests that these entail. Not least, communities with mining operations need to be better compensated than they currently are. This is concluded in this report, which is the third of four from IVA's project Roadmap for Metals and Minerals.

The pursuit of green steel

Sweden wants to be the first in the world to produce fossil-free steel on a large scale, revolutionising the iron and steel industry, which today accounts for 7 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. But how well is Sweden placed against the global competition? We asked Anders Werme, Associate Professor of Production Technology with a focus on the mining and steel industry.

Conditions for new nuclear power

The government wants to invest heavily in new nuclear power in order to achieve the climate goals and transition to a fossil-free society. But what are the conditions for building new reactors in Sweden in the near future? What is technically possible and what will it take to convince people to invest? More facts and less opinion are needed here to make wise decisions, says Fellow of IVA and former CEO of Vattenfall Lars G Josefsson.

Report: Circular flows to meet increased demand for metals and minerals

Waste is used too little as a resource to contribute to sustainable and secure access to critical metals and minerals. This is one of the conclusions of a new report that emphasizes the importance of developing circular systems, as the major societal challenges cannot be solved solely by increased use of primary resources from mining.

Hur kan cirkulära flöden öka tillgången till kritiska metaller och mineral?

Idag återvinner vi bara en liten del av alla kritiska metaller och mineral som behövs för att tillverka elbilar, solceller och vindkraftverk. Efterfrågan beräknas samtidigt mångdubblas om vi ska klara omställningen till ett fossilfritt samhälle. Förbättrad återvinning, återanvändning och återtillverkning är alla viktiga pusselbitar för att på ett hållbart sätt klara omställningen. Hur kan förutsättningarna för dessa förbättras?
