Here we show that expanding solar, onshore and offshore wind capacity across the 27 member states through 2050 generates unprecedented demand for copper, zinc, silicon and rare earth elements, with supply-chain exposure highly dependent on the chosen technology pathway. Through three scenario-based projections, we find that pathways prioritizing offshore wind maintain rare earth element exposure near full-target levels (69.2 kilotonnes) even when solar and onshore deployment falls short, as these elements are technologically embedded in direct-driven turbine generators. These findings reframe the clean energy transition as a continental materials procurement challenge where mineral security functions as a binding feasibility constraint. Delivering climate goals requires institutionalizing material stress tests in national deployment plans, establishing strategic component reserves and actively securing international midstream processing partnerships.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":56.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149087804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 20-kW industrial pilot system achieved co-productivities of 3.8 Nm3 h−1 H2 and 1.2 kg h−1 fresh water with stable operation for 100 days. Scaling up to 250 kW achieved 48 Nm3 h−1 H2 and 31.6 kg h−1 fresh water, with a 14.4% improvement in system electrical efficiency relative to alkaline electrolysis of fresh water alone. Techno-economic analysis of the coupled process indicates higher profitability than the traditional tandem process of desalination followed by electrolysis. Given its abundance, seawater is an attractive feedstock for hydrogen production, but direct electrolysis is hindered by side reactions and corrosion. Here the authors couple alkaline electrolysis with low-temperature desalination, using waste electrolyser heat to distil seawater into a fresh water feed, enabling stable, scalable performance.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"11 10","pages":"1490-1499"},"PeriodicalIF":70.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149010524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we examine hydrogen pipeline costs by incorporating regional geographical factors, such as land use, topography and existing infrastructure, together with political-economic factors represented through country-specific weighted average costs of capital. Using a geographic information system-based model, we demonstrate that the regional levelized cost of transportation can vary by up to a factor of three. Comparing our approach with conventional ones based on uniform detour factors in an existing European energy system analysis framework shows substantial deviations in trade flows and highlights the relevance of this work. We provide cost and route data for 4,900 potential global pipeline routes. Our findings yield insights for further research and stakeholders when assessing the economic viability of hydrogen as a competitive energy carrier.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"217 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":56.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149010527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
