A wide array of metals and elements are needed in the infrastructure and technologies that are used to produce lowcarbon energy, particularly in wind turbines and solar panels. In this video, Dr Taija Torvela investigates what metals and elements go into lowcarbon energy production and infrastructure.

This video is part of Taija’s Youtube channel ‪@ourmetallicearth‬ with videos on various metals, their uses and geological sources.
