“Raw Materials for Future Energy Supply” was published by Springer in 2016 and translated from German in 2019. It is part of the published series ‘Energy systems of the Future’ by a collaboration of German scientific academies: acatech-National Academy of Science and Engineering, Munich, Germany; Leopoldina National Academy of Sciences, Halle (Salle), Germany and the Union of the German Academies of Sciences and Humanities, Mainz, Germany. The book delves into the future supply of raw materials as a consequence of society, addressing primary and secondary resources and resource substitution. Discussions involve not only the technical details but also socioeconomic and ethical points of view. The energy sector is still a long way from being climate neutral, with many countries (especially Germany which is the focus of this book) pushing ahead with the development of new energy technologies. Emerging technologies create an increased demand for raw materials which in turn puts pressure on natural resources. This book targets anyone interested in the future raw material supply and how this interlinks with the development of renewable energies.
