First part of article in Times today. Have only shown parts referring to Sn.
IMHO may cause upward trajectory of tin price over mine life at South Crofty.
“Minerals needed for green energy could run out within decades.
A new study has revealed how exhausting critical resources such as tin, cadmium, and indium could jeopardise the transition away from fossil fuels
The transition away from fossil fuels could be held back by shortages of critical minerals needed to build solar panels, nuclear power stations, electric cars and wind turbines, researchers have found.
Researchers at the Beijing Institute of Technology found that if the world attempted to build enough clean technology to limit climate change to 2C above pre-industrial temperatures, it would exhaust known reserves of several minerals within decades.
Reserves of tin, which is used in wind turbines and solar panels, could be exhausted by 2085, while cadmium, used in control rods of nuclear reactors, could run out by 2060. Indium, a crucial ingredient in specialist thin-film solar panels, could be used up by 2035.”
