This is but an exploratory study of the complex relationship between green technology and critical raw materials. Our mapping in geographical and technological spaces suggests many interesting avenues for future research.

3a) How does the global picture of countries, green technologies and CRMs look like? Of interest here the countries that emerge as mere suppliers of critical material and with little invention capacity (nodes on the right of the picture)

(5/n)

3) Who are the main 'suppliers' and the biggest 'users' of CRMs for green technology? We draw attention to high users with low domestic CRM production - red dots in the upper left quadrant of the picture

(4/n)

2) Which countries' are most reliant on CRMs based on their green patenting portfolios?

(4/n)

1a) Once we account for how "rare" minerals are we observe an even more nuanced picture with some subcategories standing out i.e. renewable energy, solid waste management, 'green vehicles' and heating & ventilation - check out the red squares in the image

(3/n)

1) which green patent categories exhibit closest association with CRMs? Some 'usual suspects' like Technologies for production/processing of goods, for Energy generation, transmission and distribution and for chemical production

Unbelievably, I was in England that day ... and I got the poster!
