Greenflation And The Global Energy Transition Analyzing The Inflationary Pressures Of Critical Minerals Demand
Authors : Balouz Mohamed .
Abstract
Abstract: This study examines the inflationary impacts of the global energy transition driven by rising demand for critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements. As economies shift to low-carbon technologies such as EV batteries, wind turbines, and solar panels, supply chain constraints, geopolitical tensions, and underinvestment in mining have fueled "greenflation." Using a mixed-methods approach, this research assesses how mineral price volatility affects renewable energy markets and broader economic stability. Furthermore, the study highlights policy responses, including recycling, supply diversification, and sustainable mining technologies, as potential solutions to mitigate inflationary pressures. The findings suggest that without intervention, greenflation may hinder decarbonization efforts and economic sustainability. However, strategic investments and regulatory frameworks can help stabilize critical mineral markets, ensuring a balanced transition to clean energy.
