Explore the challenges of metal sourcing for modern,
low-carbon technologies.
Smartphones, wind turbines, and electric cars are becoming
standard features of modern life and are closely linked to a low-carbon,
globally connected future. This has increased the demand for greater quantities
and variety of metals to build these products, but access to many of them is
restricted due to their geological or geopolitical situation.
On this course, you’ll learn how these metals are used, where
they come from, and how they’re sourced. You’ll consider ways to cope with the
growing demand and explore the ways in which we can achieve sustainable metals
stewardship.
