*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The energy transition is transforming demand for metals and mined commodities. Expanded supply - including new sources and new technologies - will come at a cost, fundamentally altering the economics of supply. Carbon pricing will also inevitably grow in influence, adding further uncertainty to industry cost structures. How should we think about the impact on cost curves - and therefore prices - in a much larger, carbon adverse future market?
