Carbon neutrality needs a circular metal-energy nexus
Peng Wang, Heming Wang, Wei‐Qiang Chen, Stefan Pauliuk
Abstract
Carbon neutrality requires systematic transformations of both energy and metal systems. These transformations are not isolated but rather interlinked and interdependent, such that trade-offs between different strategies exist. Herein, we explore the critical interlinkages between energy and metal systems and further propose a circular metal-energy nexus to advance global coordinated actions towards a carbon-neutral future.
