Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

In module 3 of this course, you will learn how critical raw material challenges are analysed. Discover tools on how to assess how resource use affects the climate, the environment, and humans. You will delve into the approaches that are used to quantify these, learn about the impact of materials systems and dynamics, as well as the methods used for impact assessment. You will discover the potential of secondary resources and how to develop scenarios for raw materials supply and demand.

Let’s listen to Alessa first.

Welcome to Module 3
