Critical Raw Materials

When NGU uses the term "critical" to describe minerals and metals, we are referring to the EU list of critical raw materials. In 2023, the European Commission also introduced the term "strategic raw materials" based on expected future production and needs. ... In addition, Norway extracts high-purity quartz, which is needed for the production ...
