Transition-enabling metals are crucial to clean energy technologies supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy. These metals, often called "energy transition minerals", are the building blocks of a low-carbon future.

This includes Copper (Cu), Silver (Ag), Aluminum (Al), Zinc (Zn), Nickel (Ni), Platinum (Pt), and Cobalt (Co).

They are prized for their specific physical properties, like electrical conductivity, chemical stability, and light weight, that make renewable energy and electrification possible.
