Technology, from electric cars to everyday electrical equipment, consume vast amounts of scarce raw materials. On a planet with limited resources, are these minerals being properly assessed? Will there be enough raw materials to meet the demand of a world population on track to reach 10 billion people? What will be the consequences of accelerated resource depredation? Will the planet one day become ‘Thanatia‘, a resource-exhausted Earth?.This book allows readers to understand the mineral heritage of the Earth, considering the demand for raw materials in society, comparing it with the availability of resources on Earth and the impact of mining. The basics of physical geonomics are exlpained, allowing readers to analyse the loss of mineral resources on the planet. The impact of renewable energies and technologies, including electric vehicles, arestudied. The book concludes with possible solutions to mineral depletion, from increasing recycling rates, ecodesign measures or alternative sources of mineral resources...Providing numerous tables and illustrat | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | Raw Materials; Energy Transition; Thanatia; Exergy; Circular Economy; Resource Depletion; Thermodynamics; M | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-78533-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-78532-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-78533-8 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
