Perrine Fournier is a forest and mining campaigner at forests and rights NGO Fern. Our fossil fuel addiction must end for humanity to have a livable future.<\/p>\n<p>An important element in stopping this dependency is switching from vehicles that spew carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to electric vehicles (EVs), which pollute far less. Yet the path to a low-carbon world is full of potential pitfalls. A major one is the impact that mining for the critical materials needed to power EVs has on forests and peoples\u2019 lives. A new study shows that it doesn\u2019t have to be this way.<\/p>\n<p>According to researchers from the French think-tank n\u00e9gaWatt and the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Vienna), a combination of measures \u2013 including, crucially, using less mineral-reliant battery technologies \u2013 could avert the damage we\u2019re already seeing unfold in the stampede to secure the materials required for EVs.<\/p>\n<p>Battery technology plays a critical role in deforestation patterns \u2013 and the type of battery used in EVs significantly affects deforestation levels.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eceee.org\/all-news\/news\/news-2025\/how-to-make-electric-vehicles-that-dont-trash-forests-through-mining\/\">ECEEE<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/how-to-make-electric-vehicles-that-dont-trash-forests-through-mining\/\">How to make electric vehicles that don\u2019t trash forests through mining<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[606,607,608],"class_list":["post-139991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139991"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139991\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
