To compare Japan and other industrialized countries' policies concerning copper, lithium, rare earths and other critical minerals. The course will outline critical minerals' role in clean energy and decarbonization, and study the limits of ongoing policy measures.
This course compares Japan and other industrialized countries' policies concerning copper, lithium, rare earths and other critical minerals. These minerals are essential to clean energy and decarbonization, in addition to myriad other high-technology applications in aerospace, health care, national defence. The current and likely future demand for many of these materials exceeds supply capacities, necessitating costly and difficult countermeasures.
※Please refer to Japanese Page for details including evaluations, textbooks and others.
