Decarbonization Improves Energy Security For Most Countries, Study Finds

11 Apr 2025 | Abstracted from

"Researchers analyzed trade-related risks to energy security across 1,092 scenarios for cutting carbon emissions by 2060. They found that shifting from dependence on imported fossil fuels to increased dependence on critical minerals for clean energy can improve security for most nations - including the U.S., if it cultivates new trade partners.

"...trade risks fall on average by 17% - and by more than 50% for the U.S. - with a quadrupling of today's meager recycling rates for critical minerals such as lithium, nickel, and indium."
