An open source database on global coal and metal mine production

2023-04-13T10:41:39+02:00

Simon Jasansky, Mirko Lieber, Stefan Giljum & Victor Maus
In this brief, we present an open source database on global coal and metal mine production. The database comprises extraction data for 80 materials for the years 2000 to 2021 for 1171 individual mines.

Half of all metal mining worldwide occurs at less than 20km from protected lands

2021-10-18T15:06:39+02:00

Sebastian Luckeneder, Stefan Giljum, Anke Schaffartzik, Victor Maus & Michael Tost
In this Brief, we intersected global extraction data for nine metal ores with information about the location of protected areas, ecosystem types and water availability to explore the environmental risks related to the expanding mining sector.

The lithium dilemma

2021-06-29T12:03:59+02:00

Philip Fliegel, Marco Göllrich, Maximilien Koepp, Arthur Schweitzer, Martin Bruckner & Stefan Giljum
The push by governments around the world to increasingly electrify the transportation sector has led lithium demand to surge over the past few years. This Brief presents a trade-linked material flow analysis for lithium and an environmental assessment of the water-use impacts related to lithium mining and refinement.
