Updates on security of supply in Germany

Did you know?

In 2023, Germany produced around 3 million tonnes of aluminum, with nearly 2.8 million tonnes coming from recycled sources.

Germany imported 298.4 million tonnes of raw materials in 2023 — almost 13% less than the previous year. Imports of energy raw materials (-15.1%), non-metallic minerals (-8.9%), and metals (-6.9%) decreased significantly.

Lithium could soon be extracted in Germany as well — for example, in Zinnwald, the Upper Rhine Graben, and in the states of Saxony-Anhalt, Lower Saxony, and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania — helping to cover part of the country’s domestic lithium demand.
