This project aims to address the challenge of securing critical minerals for the energy transition amidst declining fossil fuel supplies. The urgency stems from the Paris Agreement's mandate to limit global warming to 1.5°C and IEA's net-zero emissions by 2050. The research seeks to overcome barriers associated with the current dependency of fossil fuels in mineral processing through the development of adoption pathways for hydrochloric acid processing for critical mineral recovery, battery-grade mineral production and demonstration of renewable energy integration. The project's outcomes hold significance in expediting mineral processing, decoupled from fossil fuels, to secure a supply of critical minerals for the energy transition.

该项目的目的是解决化石燃料燃料供应的减少，以应对能源转移的挑战。随着化石燃料在矿物质处理中的当前依赖性，用于批判性矿物质恢复，电池级矿物质的生产和可再生能量整合的植物酸加工的发展，对加速矿物质加工具有重要意义。能量过渡的关键矿物质的供应。
