Energy Security Transition: clean energy, critical minerals, and new dependencies

Abstract Different dynamics can be observed between the renewable and fossil energy markets, suggesting need for different approaches in theoretical practical field of security. However, context current transition, there is a geographic concentration production chains new clean energy-generating equipment, which creates dependencies inputs commercial partners. Consequently, security affected by relationship with non-fuel such as critical minerals. In this work, we seek to engage documentary research followed quantitative analysis data provided United States Geological Survey. After presentation discussion about security, transition minerals, analyse documents from mineral sectors written period 2000 2020. It posited that towards less polluting matrices result creation access resources condition success transition.
