What are the Challenges in Raw Material Availability?
Several challenges affect the availability of raw materials in catalysis:
Geopolitical Factors: The extraction and supply of certain raw materials are often concentrated in specific regions, making them susceptible to geopolitical tensions. Environmental Impact: Mining and refining of raw materials can have significant environmental consequences, including habitat destruction and pollution. Sustainability: The finite nature of some raw materials necessitates the development of sustainable alternatives or recycling methods.
