The electric future

It’s urgent to replace the use of fossil resources with renewable energies, not only to drastically reduce CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere, but also to no longer depend on coal, oil and gas producing countries such as the Russia. Thus, the goal set by the European Union to achieve climate neutrality in 2050 is once again very topical and electrification is one of the solutions on which Europe is focusing the most. The electric future explains the great international challenge and the tough geopolitical competition to grab the “new oil”: lithium, cobalt, rare earths, raw materials indispensable for producing the tools of the energy transition. This investigative book follows this necessary revolution in the field, highlighting its potential, the risks and the resistance of a part of the world that does not want to change.
