Part 11/14:
One revealing point involves the estimated usage of global critical materials—about 20% of Earth's lithium reserves would need to be mined to facilitate this energy transition. While some may view this as substantial, the analysis suggests it remains feasible within the scope of current reserves, especially as recycling technologies improve. The report estimates that approximately 80% of critical materials could be recovered over time, reducing the need for continuous mining and making the entire process more sustainable and economical.
