M2i study• Desk study and interviews with
industry on materials scarcity
• To learn about scope, urgency of scarcity and impact on business
• To support thinking about right approach and role M2i
• Input for Dutch government and others

Barriers for minerals production•Geopolitical
• Technical
• Ecological
• Energy
•Water
•Ground
Mining at lower ore grade requires vast amounts of energy

Scenarios for transitionTopic of this workshop:
• Material policies for transition to a sustainable energy sources
Material scarcity report
• Searched for policies for transition to sustainable use of materials in general
• Inspired by Shell Energy Scenarios to 2050(transitions to sustainable energy society in 2050)
• Two scenarios
• Scramble scenario
• Blue print scenario
![Page 18: Material Scarcity Report and Industrial Perspectives](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c31550346895dca1183/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Scramble scenarioStart:
• Public, scientific, industrial concern for imminent material scarcity -> number of isolated initiatives to tackle the problem
Than:
• No clear action to combine initiatives; reluctant adoption of national policy
• Tightening of material resources is dealt with only on national level
• Focus is on securing supply of resources, not on alternatives or efficiency
• In 2010 – 2020: first crises in supply of materials resources, steep prize rises, some industry out of business, more crises to come
• Draconian measures to come to sustainable use of material resources

19
Blue print scenarioStart:
• Public, scientific, industrial concern for imminent material scarcity -> number of isolated initiatives to tackle the problem
Than:
• Combination of policies at national level, start of international cooperation
• National governments and EU sponsor research on facts and alternatives
• Int. research and industrial policies focus on alternatives and efficiency
• Pricing mechanism to include environmental and other social costs
• Level playing field for material resources for all industries
• A sustainable economic growth and sustainable use of material resources

21
Industry’s responseto material scarcityResponse• Industry response on material scarcity: ‘not an issue’ or ‘no comment’
• Industry looks at• Price developments (prime indicator of scarcity)• Availability on long term (competing industries, production of materials)
• Added value of products determines approach to scarcity• Bulk products: Serious research for alternatives• High added value products: Continue to use scarce materials
![Page 22: Material Scarcity Report and Industrial Perspectives](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c31550346895dca1183/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Industry’s reluctancetowards material scarcity
Reluctance
• Long lead time for innovation solutions (~ 10 years)
• Scarcity issues often beyond time horizon of industry
• Return on investments in new technologies uncertainty in scarcity and resource prices
However• Industry susceptible to social and environmental requirements
![Page 23: Material Scarcity Report and Industrial Perspectives](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c31550346895dca1183/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Industry’s opportunitieswith respect to material scarcity
Recycling getting a boost
• Recycling of rare earths and other metals from waste streams
• Design to recycle of high tech products
Product development towards less use of scarce materials
• Less susceptible to supply risks and price fluctuations
• Appealing to environmentally conscientious public
• Competitive advantage in terms of costs and customer appeal

Industry andCritical Materials for Sustainable Energy Sustainable Energy Sources are new and material intensive
• New no status quo, no conservatism
• Material intensive alternatives for scare materials are essential
Preferred line of action
• Pre-competitive research on enabling material alternatives – government funded/ international cooperation
• Early (financial) involvement of industry to steer and apply material research
