(q)
tungsten. Section 2 Methodology to select strategic raw materials 1. The strategic importance shall be determined on the basis of the relevance of a raw material for the green and digital transition as well as defence and aerospace applications, in accordance with the following criteria:
(a)
the amount of strategic technologies using a raw material as an input;
(b)
the amount of a raw material needed for manufacturing relevant strategic technologies;
(c)
the expected global demand for relevant strategic technologies. 2. The forecasted demand growth (DF/C,τ ) shall be calculated as follows:
where: DFτ is the global annual demand forecast for a raw material in year τ; GSτο is the global annual production of a raw material for a reference period τ0 . 3. The difficulty of increasing production shall be determined taking into account at least:
(a)
the current global annual production scale of a raw material;
(b)
the reserves-production ratio of a raw material, based on known reserves of economically extractable geological resources and current global annual production;
(c)
lead-times for new projects increasing supply capacity, when reliable information is available. 1. Overview
