In order to achieve the ambitious goals vital to successfully combat global warming, new methods for the generation, storage and transport of renewable energy as well as for electromobility are required. In most cases such methods are resource-intensive. For example, graphite is expected to grow by ca. 500% by 2050. It is therefore legitimate to inquire into how reliably raw materials can be supplied. Raw material forecasts cannot be derived with sufficient certainty from production data only. To be able to look into the future, it is necessary to use deposit-specific resource data. Using the example of graphite, analyzes have shown that although there is no reason to fear a physical shortage of graphite, political influence or problems with the development of new deposits due to insufficient environmental protection measures can noticeably impact the security of supply.

为了实现对成功应对全球变暖至关重要的雄心勃勃的目标，需要新的方法来产生、储存和运输可再生能源以及电动汽车。在大多数情况下，此类方法是资源密集型的。例如，石墨预计将增长约 10 倍。到 2050 年达到 500%。因此，研究原材料供应的可靠性是合理的。仅从生产数据不能足够确定地得出原材料预测。为了能够展望未来，有必要使用矿床特定的资源数据。以石墨为例，分析表明，虽然没有理由担心石墨的物理短缺，
