Decision Tools For Green Minerals Value Chains
Research-backed decision tools for the green minerals transition

UNSW Green Minerals develops transparent, research-backed tools to evaluate cost, emissions, policy exposure, and transition pathways across critical minerals supply chains.

Copper Value Chain

Assess mine-to-export cost and emissions pathways across copper mining, processing, refining, transport, and export stages.

• Mine-to-market value-chain modelling
• Cost and emissions scenario comparison
• Rail, shipping, and processing pathways
• Renewable and low-carbon transition options

Lithium Value Chain

Compare lithium processing pathways, regional cost structures, emissions intensity, and market-readiness across brine and hard-rock supply chains.

• Brine and spodumene processing pathways
• Li₂CO₃ and LiOH product comparisons
• Cost and emissions breakdowns
• Export and value-addition pathway analysis
