#31 ULTRAVIOLET WAVES: Critical minerals

In the electronic devices and renewable energy generators that we have at our disposal, in electric cars... in the technologies that are essential to us today, mineral components are needed and have become critical. One piece of information: since 2000, in 23 years, we have extracted as much material as is recorded in the entire history. Where do we get what we need now?

In this section, Alaitz Ochoa de Eribe and Ana Galarraga Aiestarán analyze the essence of the problem.

The Ultra Violet Waves podcast is produced by Elhuyar for the EITB podcast.
