Assessing the dynamic material criticality of infrastructure transitions: a case of low carbon electricity
17th February 2014
Topic(s): Engineering and project delivery, Renewables
Decarbonisation of existing infrastructure systems requires a dynamic roll-out of technology at an unprecedented scale. The potential disruption in supply of critical materials could endanger such a transition to low-carbon infrastructure and, by extension, compromise energy security more broadly because low carbon technologies are reliant on these materials in a way that fossil-fuelled energy infrastructure is not.
