Review and prospect of the effects of technological innovation on sustainable supply of clean energy metals
The role of technological innovation in ensuring a sustainable supply of clean energy metals cannot be ignored.In this paper,the relevant literatures are systematically reviewed and prospected,including the connotation and data accounting of sustainable supply of clean energy metals,the influence of technological innovation on the sustainable supply of clean energy metals and its influence mechanisms,and the trend analysis of sustainable supply of clean energy critical metals under the influence of technological innovation,and so on.The main conclusions are as follows.Material flow analysis can accurately calculate the supply and demand data of clean energy metals from the perspective of the whole industry chain,and provide basic data for exploring the impact of technological innovation on the sustainable supply of clean energy metals.In order to ensure the sustainable supply of clean energy metals in China,existing researches are mainly focused on"open source","throttling"and global governance,and most of the impact of technological innovation studies remains in qualitative analysis and a single link of the industrial chain.The sustainable supply of clean energy metals needs to consider the impact of technological innovation in the whole industrial chain,and it is necessary to couple the supply chain,industrial chain and innovation chain of clean energy metals,and explore the joint production mechanism of the upstream,the efficient production mechanism of the midstream,the industrial development mechanism and the coupling configuration mechanism of the downstream.It is necessary to break through the analytical framework of traditional technological innovation scenarios and internalize the impact of technology innovation into the model in the future,so as to scientifically investigate the evolution trends of sustainable supply of clean energy metals.
