ADB亚洲开发银行：2025年推进亚太地区关键矿产的弹性和可持续发展报告（英文版）

The transition to clean energy is a global priority, driving unprecedented demand for critical minerals integral to clean energy technologies, including electric vehicles (EVs). Compared to conventional vehicles, EVs require significantly more critical minerals, particularly graphite, nickel, lithium, cobalt, and copper, driven by battery and motor needs. Rare earth elements like neodymium and dysprosium, though small in quantity, are also critical for EV motors (Figure 1). Asia and the Pacif
