Misalignment between national resource inventories and policy actions drives unevenness in the energy transition

J. R. Owen, D. Kemp, et al.

This research by John R. Owen, Deanna Kemp, Waleria Schuele, and Julia Loginova investigates the crucial relationship between national resource inventories and policy actions across 18 countries rich in energy transition minerals. Discover how differing alignments may impact climate change mitigation globally and influence the energy transition unevenly.

Abstract

This paper examines the alignment between national resource inventories and policy actions in 18 countries with substantial energy transition minerals (ETMs). The study finds that the distribution and production-readiness of ETMs vary significantly across countries, with OECD countries showing stronger alignment between policies and demand than non-OECD counterparts. This misalignment could lead to global delays in climate change mitigation and an uneven energy transition.
