Overview Mineralmangel

China's near-monopoly on critical minerals is driving a global scramble. These essential resources fuel both the West's green transition and its defense industries, prompting intense US focus on deposits in Ukraine and Greenland.

However, a critical fact is often overlooked: Norway holds significantly larger mineral reserves than both these nations combined. This places Norway squarely in the center of an escalating international resource race, with major implications for its future.

Discover how this new geopolitical reality unfolds, why minerals are the currency of tomorrow, and Norway's crucial, unexpected role in shaping the global power landscape. A vital read for understanding the nexus of energy, security, and international relations.
