This paper focuses on strategies, policies, and programs that industry and government can develop to ensure that supply chains for EVs and their batteries are secure, circular, and reduce the need for mining virgin minerals, thus reducing adverse impacts on the planet and its people.
This report looks at the mineral demand for a net-zero emissions energy system, focusing on seven critical minerals and discussing the role of technological choices, circular economy strategies, and responsible mining in reducing the environmental impact of the transition.
This report investigates the potential to develop circular supply chains for EV batteries.
This report brings together the latest data and information on batteries from around the world, including recent market developments and technological advances. It also offers insights and analysis on leading markets and key barriers to growth, and identifies synergies and potential bottlenecks across different sectors and parts of the supply chain.
This study maps the current landscape of PV material demand and recycling, and charts a course toward a more sustainable and economically viable future for the PV industry.
This report focuses on the material resources required for the energy transition and demonstrates that there are plentiful resources available to support a prosperous net-zero global economy.
This article assesses the opportunities provided by digital monitoring, reporting and verification (dMRV), which can facilitate real-time tracking of the use and fuel sales from clean cooking products, thereby increasing the integrity of emissions reduction claims.
This report illustrates the need for digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (D-MRV) systems to underpin future carbon markets. It discusses the available technologies, and barriers to their adoption, as well as guidelines, tools, and lessons learned to promote the use of these systems.
This report provides background information and guidance on the types of behavioural changes needed to advance access to clean cooking, and ways to promote these changes.
This blog and inforgraphic present the results of a World Bank study on the decision-making journey towards adopting and using clean cooking solutions in Rwanda, Madagascar and Ghana.
