Currently, of all renewable technologies, wind power has the greatest potential for added molybdenum use. Windmills require by far the largest amount of steel and iron castings, compared to other power generation technologies. While steel accounts for the vast majority of the tower weight (~98%), both materials find use in components of the
In the coming decades, the Green Energy transition will significantly increase the global demand for molybdenum, a critical material in the manufacture of clean renewable energy generation

Canadian-based mining firm Greenland Resources is reacting positively to a new renewable energy report from London-based engineering consultant COWI indicating that nearby wind and solar generation can provide 35 percent of power for the company''s critical mineral Malmbjerg Molybdenum Project in Greenland.
No input energy is required to operate the rope aerial conveyor; as a result there will be no CO2 generation. The elevation difference from ore conveyor loading and discharge will be 930
ü Molybdenum is one of the scarcest metals in the Earth''s upper crust ü EU relies on one western country only for primary molybdenum supply, which is very relevant for high performance steel
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), almost half the world''s reserves of molybdenum are located in Chinese territory [].Other significant reserves, accounting for 40% of the total, are found in North and South America (see Fig. 1) the opinion of the USGS "resources of molybdenum are adequate to supply world needs for the
Wind power is the most iron and steel intensive of all power generation methods. Molybdenum is an important alloying agent used to strengthen the steel construction and reduce its weight. Molybdenum is also used to manufacture the high performance gear steels for wind turbines (International Molybdenum Association (IMOA), 2011).

Operating mines globally, like the South Deep gold mine in South Africa and the MA''ADEN Alumina Refinery in Saudi Arabia, and abandoned mines, such as former coal mines in the USA, Poland, and Germany, repurposed with PV systems, are examples of using renewable energy in the mining sector.
In the coming decades, the Green Energy transition will significantly increase the global demand for molybdenum, a critical material in the manufacture of clean renewable energy generation and storage technologies such as wind, geothermal, solar, nuclear, and hydro.
The Malmbjerg molybdenum project is an open-pit operation with an environmentally-friendly mine design focused on reduced CO 2 emissions and water usage, low aquatic disturbance, and low footprint due to modularised infrastructure.

The molybdenum mine in Questa was placed on the National Priorities List (Superfund) by the Environmental Protection Agency in May 2000. It was declared a Superfund Cleanup Site in 2009. The mine site''s waste rock dumps had been left un-reclaimed when the open pit operations ceased. Large quantities of heavy metals, dissolved when the rock was exposed to rain and
No input energy is required to operate the rope aerial conveyor; as a result there will be no CO2 generation. The elevation difference from ore conveyor loading and discharge will be 930 metres. As a result the conveyor will generate 1.3 Mw of electrical energy from conveyor braking at transfer stations.
