목차
1 Introduction
? Motivation for the Development of Sustainable Energy
? Renewable Energy Technologies
? The Critical Raw Materials / Energy Nexus
o Introduction to critical raw materials (CRMs)
o Rare earth elements and precious metals
o Their applications in sustainable energy
? Governance of CRMs and Sustainable Technologies
o What are the key problems with critical materials?
o How are they governed at present?
? Main Questions Addressed by this Book
o What can we learn from existing technologies (i.e. solar, batteries, turbines)?
o How can this be applied to emerging technologies (i.e. fuel cells)?
o How can we overcome disciplinary “silo mentality”?
2 Critical Raw Materials (CRMs): Rare Earth Elements and Precious Metals
? How are CRMs defined?
o What are rare earth elements?
o What are precious metals?
o Other CRMs (e.g. Co, Li)
? Abundance and geographical distribution
? Broader applications of CRMs
? Mining, refining, processing
? Associated costs and environmental impact
3 Critical Raw Materials in Established Sustainable Technologies: Examples and Governance Perspectives
? Wind turbines (dysprosium, praseodymium, neodymium)
? Solar panels (lanthanum, neodymium and europium)
? Battery electric vehicles (praseodymium, neodymium, lanthanum, cerium)
? Catalysis (platinum, ruthenium, rhodium, iridium)
? Perspectives on Governance
4 Critical Raw Materials in Low Temperature Fuel Cells
? Introduction and Context? Development of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEFCs)
