Identifying critical raw materials
Critical raw materials are metals and minerals that are essential for our economy and society, but whose constant availability and supply in the future is questionable. That is why it is important to determine which raw materials are critical and how we can secure their supply. This is one of the NMO’s objectives at both national and international levels.
