【文/李知睿】 关键矿产: 全球秩序变迁的"战略锚点" 百年未有之大变局下，产业升级、技术变革与地缘政治的交织，正重塑全球资源治理格局。关键矿产（如锂、钴、镍、石墨、稀土等）的战略价值持续凸 显——既是新能源汽车、动力电池、储能设备、半导体芯片等新质生产力的"核心原料"，也是各国实现"碳中和"目标的刚需资源。国际能源署（IEA）预 测，为实现2050年全球净零排放目标，锂、钴、镍的需求量将分别增长40倍、20倍、10倍，供需矛盾与争夺强度将持续升级。 作为全球重要的经济体与碳中和目标的主要推动者，欧盟长期面临关键矿产领域的"三重困境"： 一是，资源高度依赖外部。欧盟本土已探明储量不足全球1%，80%以上的锂依赖智利、阿根廷，60%以上的钴依赖刚果（金），90%以上的稀 土加工依赖中国。 二是，加工能力薄弱。欧盟在关键矿产精炼和深加工环节短板明显，电池级锂和镍的加工能力仅能满足自身约25%的需求。 三是，回收体系不完善。欧盟动力电池回收率不足15%，远低于25%的目标。 新冠疫情和俄乌冲突暴露了欧盟战略资源供应的脆弱性，促使其将关键矿产提升到前所未有的战略高度。 2024年5月，欧盟正式施行《关键原材料法案》（ ...
