The "Final 2023 Critical Materials List" was determined by the United States Department of Energy (DOE), [5] with the Undersecretary for Science and Innovation involvement. . This list incorporates materials deemed critical for energy applications and minerals from the 2022 final list designated by the Department of the Interior through the United States Geological Survey (USG
The Critical Minerals Strategy, Resilience for the Future [12] was published in July 2022, updated [13] in March 2023. [14] As of December 2023, the UK does not produce any of the 18 identified highly critical CRM [d] [15] while a watchlist of increasingly critical materials includes Iridium, Manganese, Nickel, Phosphates and Ruthenium.

In 2012, from 7 to 8% of all the energy used in the world was used to extract these minerals. [8] The magnets in electrical motors, or wind and water turbines, as well as some components of solar panels also need many of these same minerals or rare metals. [19] [20] [21]
As the world scrambles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit future global warming, more attention has turned to one of the country’s oldest industries as one of the solutions - mining.
China’s export restrictions on critical minerals are threatening the viability of EV makers–and forcing them to innovate Gene Berdichevsky November 9, 2023 at 12:52 PM
Of the minerals that the U.S. Geological Survey has identified as critical to the U.S. economy and national security, the U.S. was 100% reliant on imports for 12 of them. 1. Arsenic
A technology-critical element (TCE) is a chemical element that is a critical raw material [1] [2] [3] for modern and emerging technologies, [4] [5] [6] resulting in a striking increase in their usage. [4] [7] [1] [8] Similar terms include critical elements, [9] critical materials, [4] energy-critical elements [7] and elements of security. [10]
The world is facing a shortage of the minerals needed to make the electric vehicles, wind turbines, solar panels, and other clean energy technologies essential to ending its reliance on fossil fuels.
