Theatre : Made in UK
Almost every part of modern daily life relies on minerals, often mined thousands of miles away.
As technology evolves faster than ever, we become more and more reliant on a new cohort of minerals. We are moving to a world powered by critical minerals: we need lithium, cobalt and graphite to make batteries for electric cars; silicon and tin for our electronics; rare earth elements for electric cars and wind turbines.
The world in 2040 is expected to need 4 times as many critical minerals for clean energy technologies as it does today.
How can UK maximise what it produces along the critical minerals value chain – through mining, refining, manufacturing and recycling – in a way that creates jobs and growth and protects communities and our natural environment?
