Abstract [en]

The green energy transition has been called a transition from a fossil fuel dependency to a metal and mineral dependency. Concerns about the security of future supplies are raised mainly in the EU and the USA with the Critical Raw Materials Act and the Inflation Reduction Act. The perspectives of these policies are centred on the demands created in the industrialised countries. The need for metals to lift billions of poor people out of poverty and to cater for the population growth is often, if not always, left out of the equation. While demand undoubtedly is increasing, the opposition to new mines and new renewable energy supply is strong and perhaps even increasing. It is necessary to find new ways to create a recognition that mining plays a key role for the green transition.

Abstract [fr]

À propos de la transition écologique, la transition verte, on parle du passage d’une dépendance aux énergies fossiles à une dépendance aux métaux et aux minéraux. Les inquiétudes relatives à la sécurité des approvisionnements futurs sont explicites dans l’Union européenne et aux États Unis, à travers le Critical Raw Materials Act et l’Inflation Reduction Act. Le point de vue de ces politiques est entièrement centré sur la demande exprimée par les nations industrielles. Le besoin de métaux pour sortir des milliards de gens de la pauvreté et pour assurer la croissance encore à venir de la population est souvent, sinon toujours ignoré. Alors que la demande est clairement croissante, l’opposition à l’ouverture de nouvelles mines et de nouvelles ressources en énergies renouvelables est forte, voire elle aussi en croissance. Il est nécessaire de trouver de nouvelles façons de rendre intelligibles à un grand nombre que l’exploitation minière joue un rôle central dans la transition verte.
