Guest column: Moving towards green energy has its drawbacks Lloyd Brown-John © Provided by Windsor Star A GM employee poses with an example of the company s next-generation lithium metal batteries at GM Chemical and Materials Systems Lab in Warren, Michigan, U.S. September 9, 2020. On March 11, Canada’s Natural Resources Minister Seamus O’Regan released a list of 31 so-called critical minerals “essential to the economic and energy security” of Canada. Being included on the list of 31 was based upon each mineral (or group of minerals as rare earth elements account for one listing) meeting at least one of three criteria.

The sportswear companies have shared proprietary technologies and material innovations, to reimagine a lower-emission design process.
The prototype, called Futurecraft.Footprint, has a carbon footprint of 2.94kg CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent emissions) per pair. By comparison, the shoe has 63% lower emissions than Adidas’ lowest footprint performance running shoe Adizero RC3, at 7.86kg CO2e. A typical pair of running shoes generates 30 pounds (13.6kg) of carbon dioxide emissions, according to a Massachusetts Institute of Technology research group called Materials Systems Laboratory.
Later this month, 100 pairs will be raffled to members of Adidas’s Creators Club. A further 10,000 pairs will be available to buy online in the autumn, ahead of a wider launch in spring 2022. Prices will be released later this year.
