The Elements of Innovation Discovered
Critical Minerals Alliances 2024 includes 32 minerals, metals, and groups of elements essential to the military, renewable energy, high-tech, and other sectors of the North American economy – aluminum, antimony, cobalt, gallium, germanium, graphite, lithium, manganese, nickel, five platinum group metals, 14 rare earth elements, scandium, tellurium, titanium, and uranium. Critical Minerals Alliances 2024 takes a deeper dive into this all-of-government strategy to establish reliable and secure sources of the minerals and metals critical to North America’s economic well-being, national security, and clean energy ambitions, with a particular focus on the national security implications of America's heavy reliance on imports for these mined commodities. Critical Minerals Alliances also offers in-depth coverage of: • The U.S. Department of Defense's heavy investments in reliable and secure critical mineral supply chains. • A whole-of-government critical minerals strategy emerging in the U.S. • The wider implications of China’s antimony, gallium, germanium, and graphite export restrictions. • A deeper dive into the opportunities and risks surrounding deep-sea mining. • A look into how metal 3D printing is reshaping aerospace design and the metals being used. Overall, the publisher of Critical Minerals Alliances 2024 hopes the in-depth insights offered by this one-of-a-kind magazine helps academia, conservationists, consumers, governments, investors, local stakeholders, manufacturers, and miners forge alliances that will ensure the establishment of a cohesive strategy to sustainably extract, reuse, and recycle the elements of 21st-century innovation.
