Abstract
The low-carbon energy transition demands many minerals that are exhaustible. The success of potential replacement of the current energy industry by a set of green-friendly technologies depends on the availability of these minerals both in a global and regional sense. This research is representing the specific assessment based on the limited list of minerals most important for low-carbon technologies: wind, solar photovoltaic, concentrated solar power, hydro, energy storage, carbon capture and storage, and geothermal. A probabilistic approach was applied for the estimation of both critical commodity supply and various green energy transition technologies. There are 10 criteria were selected to describe the demand-supply system and 17 metals estimated. A balanced demand-supply system was described and calculated by the fuzzy set approach.
