This research highlights the potential environmental and social impacts of scaling renewable energy technologies that rely on transition minerals, emphasizing the need to study resource frontiers to understand the local consequences of global climate policies. This topic is relevant to the International Day of Indigenous Peoples as it underscores the importance of considering the impacts on indigenous communities and their lands in the pursuit of sustainable energy solutions.
It is largely understood that climate mitigation (SDG 13) requires phasing out fossil fuels and switching to renewable energy sources which produce electricity (SDG 7). Is it better to directly electrify by e.g., developing electric cars, stoves, and freight, or to indirectly electrify by using renewable electricity to produce alternative fuels like hydrogen to power cars, stoves, etc.? This One Earth Research Article shows via modeling that for the EU an hybrid approach is optimal, with cars and stoves being electrified but shipping and chemical industry transitioned to synthetic fuels.
This chapter explores the sustainability and environmental impacts of the nuclear industry thereby supporting Sustainable Development Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy).
