Welcome to the HCSS Critical Raw Materials Dashboard.
Critical Raw Materials (CRM) are used across the vital sectors of the global economy and society including clean energy, digital technology, healthcare, defence and space. This HCSS Dashboard provides information about the geographical spread of resources, reserves, extraction and processing capabilities for a wide range of raw materials. The dashboard displays the materials included in the 2023 EU Critical Raw Materials list as well as other non-energy and non-animal raw materials that are important for the above-mentioned sectors.
Hovering over the categories under ‘Development Status’ shows definitions, while hovering over a data point on the map gives information about site name, mineral, related applications and source.
The dashboard is based on publicly available data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from 2017 and 2011. This iteration was developed in 2023. This dashboard is a work in progress and we are happy to receive your feedback. If you find any inconsistencies or missing information, please reach out to us at info@hcss.nl.
