Abstract

Granular mine data show that the supply of minerals critical to the energy transition reacts rapidly to price movements caused by demand shocks. The reaction depends on the characteristics of mines and of global mineral markets. It is weaker in Africa due to the higher prevalence of conflicts near mines, which makes it harder for supply to adjust. Des données minières granulaires permettent de montrer que l’offre de minerais critiques à la transition énergétique réagit rapidement aux variations de prix induites par un choc de demande. Cette réaction dépend des caractéristiques des mines et du marché mondial. Elle est plus faible sur le continent africain, en raison de conflits plus nombreux à proximité des mines, limitant la capacité de réaction de l’offre.
