Global production and reserves data for minerals used to build renewable energy technologies – wind turbines, solar panels and lithium-ion batteries. The data is cross referenced against the 2017 RGI scoring to identify the governance of countries with reserves of the minerals.
Data includes:
-
Production and reserves data for the following minerals: bauxite, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, indium, iron ore, lead, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, platinum group metals, rare earth, silicon, silver, titanium (ilmenite), zinc.
-
Smelter capacity and production data for: aluminium
-
Refinery production data for: alumina, iron and steel
-
Data taken from the World Bank report: “The Growing Role of Minerals and Metals for a Low Carbon Future”
-
The source for the data is the United States Geological Survey
This dataset was used in the NRGI blog "In a Low-Carbon Future, Better Mineral Governance Could Power Development" found here.
