Assessing the mining potential of critical minerals as a clean energy source
The primary focus is to establish a robust infrastructure that harnesses Queensland’s abundant natural resources. Among the noteworthy natural assets, vanadium stands out as a key metallic element. Abundantly present in mineralised deposits, Queensland boasts some of the world's most substantial vanadium reserves. While vanadium has versatile applications, its current spotlight is on its pivotal role in the development of batteries capable of storing substantial energy over extended periods.
Key takeaways:
- Mapping demand for battery storage, EVs, and renewable energy
- Assessing the potential of “green critical minerals”
- Quantifying the ROI for major projects
