A Bottom-Up Approach to Lithium-Ion Battery Cost Modeling with a Focus on Cathode Active Materials (2019, background): “Accordingly, we calculated the global supply concentration (GSC), an index ranging from 0–100 that puts a numerical value on supply concentration, of cobalt to be 82 as of 2016, a number that indicates a high level of concentration [59].”
Possible target corridor for sustainable use of global material resources (2015, background): “As LCA approaches to indicate resource depletion have limited information value, their inclusion into an expanded definition of criticality [54] also might not lead much closer to a safer and fairer use of mineral resources worldwide.”
Global Substance Flow Analysis of Gallium, Germanium, and Indium: Quantification of Extraction, Uses, and Dissipative Losses within their Anthropogenic Cycles (2015, background): “For this reason, they are normally referred to as “hitchhiker metals” (Talens Peiró et al. 2013) or “companion metals” (Graedel et al. 2012).”
Critical Metals in the Path towards the Decarbonisation of the EU Energy Sector: Assessing Rare Metalsas Supply-Chain Bottlenecks in Low-Carbon Energy Technologies (2013, background): “There has been a range of criticality-type studies carried out in recent years (Congressional Budget Office, 1983; Committee on Critical Mineral Impacts on the US Economy et al., 2008; Resource Efficiency Knowledge Transfer Network, 2008; DECC, 2010; EC, 2010a; Buijs and Sievers, 2011; Erdmann and G”
Criticality of the Rare Earth Elements (2015, background): “This approach (Graedel et al. 2012) incorporates an extensive group of relevant factors, aggregating them into a three-dimensional framework that can be applied at different spatial levels, with explicit evaluation of uncertainty.”
The economic resource scarcity potential (ESP) for evaluating resource use based on life cycle assessment (2014, methodology): “As economic stability is dependent also on human development, in addition, the Human Development Index (HDI) is evaluated and included in the assessment for describing socioeconomic stability of different countries (Graedel et al. 2012a; UNDP 2011).”
Understanding the future of lithium: Part 1, resource model (2019, unknown): “The preferred methodology for evaluating the criticality of metals involves quantifying the supply constraints, risks, and environmental implications over both short and long time horizons (Graedel et al., 2012).”
Life Cycle Assessment of Metals: A Scientific Synthesis (2014, background): “Quantifying the environmental burdens per life cycle stage and the interconnectedness of the metals production systems is required in modeling global changes in technology, material substitution and metals criticality in terms of their supply chain vulnerability and supply risk [16–22].”
Rare Earths and the Balance Problem: How to Deal with Changing Markets? (2018, methodology): “Materials are labeled ‘‘critical’’ when they are vulnerable to supply disruptions and their impacts on the economy are higher than those of most other raw materials [18, 19].”
