A recent international study has highlighted tin as a key element in the development of new sustainable technologies, reinforcing its position as a strategic resource in the global energy transition. Researchers have identified unique properties of tin that make it an essential material in fields such as electronics, battery manufacturing and renewable energy production. The report, presented at an advanced materials congress in Berlin, notes that global demand for tin has grown by 15% in the last three years, driven by its role in creating lead-free solders, solar panels and more efficient lithium-ion batteries.
