Kritikalität von Rohstoffen - Wann Platzt die Bombe?

Explore the critical nature of raw materials in this German-language conference talk from the 36th Chaos Communication Congress. Delve into the research field of criticality analyses, focusing on the supply bottleneck analysis of tantalum, tungsten, tin, and gold. Examine quantitative and qualitative indicators used to assess the vulnerability of companies and countries to raw material shortages. Learn about the various factors influencing the availability and price of resources essential for modern high-tech products, including concentration risks, political risks, and supply reduction and demand increase risks. Understand the importance of evaluating the entire value chain criticality, from extraction and processing to use and disposal, and discover strategies companies employ to address uncertainties in raw material supply. Gain insights into objectively identifying vulnerabilities and defining recommended actions to mitigate potential resource shortages.
