Silicon, aluminum and lithium are the most critical raw materials on Earth. Their scarcity and the complexity of extracting them could hinder the development of technologies that are key to the green transition. This is one of the main conclusions of a study by the INGENIO Institute, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), in collaboration with the University of Rome, the Universitat de València and the University of London.
