  • 11h00-12h00 – Critical raw materials for the energy transition (onsite)

Aude Pommeret, Professeur, IREGE, USMB

Renewable energy generation and storage requires specialized capital goods, embedding critical raw materials (CRM). The scarcity of CRM therefore aects the transition from a fossil based energy system to one based on renewables, necessary to cope with climate change. We consider the issue in a theoretical model, where we allow for a very costly potential substitute, reectinga backstop technology, and for partial and costly recycling of materials in capital goods. We characterize the main features of the ecient energy transition, and their dependence on the relative abundance of CRM and on the recycling technology. Recycling reduces the cost of the transition. It also calls for having a large stock of recyclable CRM embedded in specialized capital at the time of adoption of the backstop technology. Moreover, we consider constraints on policy tools and myopic regulation, and show how abstracting from the scarcity of CRM, or tightly linking subsidies for renewables to the carbon tax revenue, is misleading in designing climate policy.

  • 12h00 – 13h00 – Solar panels and economic growth: implementation, recycling and recovery, Giuseppe Di Vita

Photovoltaic modules have an economic life of about twenty-five years, after this period of time it is necessary to replace them and correctly dispose of the exhausted PV. The recycling of end of life solar panels is useful to avoid at the same time as the disposal into the environment of hazardous and dangerous waste, and the exhaustion of some natural resources. A theoretical model is usefull to consider the recycling of PV as a whole, and the dismantling and reuse of part of exhausted PV.
