Abstract
The energy industry is trying to use clean energy day by day. In order to obtain this clean energy, tests and analyses are carried out by commissioning new energy technologies. New energy technologies, on the other hand, bring along the need for many different raw materials. These raw materials are actually minerals that directly reveal energy sources or materials used in the production of energy-generating systems. It has become a matter of curiosity whether the minerals found on earth can meet the needs of these new energy technologies in the future. The studies carried out show that the needs of these new raw materials will increase in many technologies that are used today but will change in the future, such as the transition from engines using fossil fuels to electric motors. For this purpose, efficient use of long-term mineral stocks on earth is of great importance, because it is foreseen by many organizations that the energy consumption in the future will be much higher than what is used today. For this reason, this study investigates the usage areas of the existing raw materials and the anticipated raw material requirements in the future.
