| Dataset creators | Evi Petavratzi, British Geological Survey Pierre Josso, British Geological Survey |
| Dataset theme | Geoscientific Information |
| Dataset abstract | The data represents the end results of scenario-based modelling of future UK demand of raw materials used in the deployment of decarbonisation technologies. The sectors considered include batteries, electrolysers, fuel cells, heat pumps, nuclear, photovoltaics, traction motors, and wind turbines. The models project material demands up to 2050 based on government issued targets, future energy scenarios, evolving technologies, material intensities and efficiencies. |
