Material & transition flows
The net-zero transition runs on materials, components, and products. We model global supply chains of clean energy technologies such as solar PV, wind turbines, heat pumps, and batteries, along with the critical materials and heavy industries behind them, and ask how these chains can become sustainable, affordable, and resilient.
