Raw materials, which are of great economic importance, but for which the risk of supply bottlenecks is valid, are considered as “criticalâ€. Others, where this risk might occur due to market changes are called “potentially critical†(FFG 2012). The following metals are defined as (potentially) critical raw materials either by the EU or by the FFG: Be, Mg, Mn, Ni, Co, Zn, Cr, Al, Ga, In, rare earth elements (REE), Ge, Sb, Nb, Ta, W, V, Mo, platinum group elements (PGE).
