The urgent need for a global energy transformation requires major and rapid shifts in energy technologies, accompanied by changes in material demand and supply, which can potentially result in material bottlenecks. Despite great interest from policy and research, current approaches fail to account for key drivers of material bottlenecks, such as: (i) new material demands of specific energy technologies (e.g. iridium for electrolysis), (ii) phased-out material supply (e.g. gypsum from fossil power plants), (iii) competing material demand beyond the energy system (e.g. iridium for smartphones), and (iv) limits in material availability and disposability (e.g. recyclability, carbon-neutral…
