The applications, i.e. technologies, of particular concern as a result are electric vehicles, wind and solar energy, and lighting. The risk arises from EU dependency on imports, growing demand worldwide and geopolitical reasons. The EU demand for lithium is projected at nearly 15% of the global supply, while that of graphite at 10%.
