Critical Minerals and Science Collaboration Necessities for Achieving Carbon Neutrality

Asia holds access to vast materials and metals crucial for driving advancements in electronics, refrigeration, and energy storage—key components of all modern technologies. By deploying new scientific ideas, Asia has the potential to induce new industrial and sub-sectors of global relevance, such as the downstream potential of the oil industry, mining, and agro resources.

While Western technology giants have recognized the potential and taken early risks to establish these technologies, they lack the raw materials and human capabilities necessary for mass production.

No single player can advance these technologies alone. Therefore, a South Eurasian platform offers a promising low-entry barrier and fast uptake potential, facilitating collaboration and progress in these critical areas.
