REEEM-D5.3_Focus Report on Life Cycle Assessment and Demand for Critical Materials

Creators

Description

This report describes the execution, results, and insights  from Task 5.3 of the REEEM project, which analyses  pathways towards a low‐carbon energy system for the European Union. Part I of this document describes the  LCA  model  developed  as  part  of  the  Task  and  its  application  to  the  pathways  to  quantify  the  associated  environmental impacts. Part II focuses on the critical materials assessment component of the Task and discusses  how  European  energy  technology  related  demand  for  these materials  might  change  between  the  pathways  explored in REEEM and assesses the risk of supply bottlenecks that might impede these technological transitions.
