Beskrivning

This book combines insights from resource modeling, systematic reviews, value chain analysis, and mineral development impact assessment in the design of sustainable policies and practices related to the supply of critical minerals. The role of emerging technology applications such as artificial intelligence and alternative extraction and refining processes, including secondary mining, is considered to ensure sustainability in battery development and electric vehicle deployment as critical pathways to achieve carbon neutrality. Carefully selected regional and country case studies are presented on best practice policies and strategies to address the challenges and risks associated with ensuring sustainable critical minerals supply chain. The book aims to derive policy lessons and recommendations for the ASEAN region, which aims to achieve near net-zero targets by 2050. The empirical analyses are both qualitative and quantitative and include the application of econometric estimation where appropriate. This book on policy and technology options for achieving sustainability in critical mineral supply chains is highly recommended to readers seeking an in-depth and robust overview of recent empirical evidence in the design of best practice policies and strategies for sustainability in critical mineral supply chains, based on a thorough analysis of national and regional opportunities, challenges and risks. This book is particularly relevant to ASEAN and Asian economies, including China, India and Australia.
