Abstract The material basis and interdependencies of renewable energy systems have not yet been widely studied and analyzed. This book aims to bridge this gap by bringing together contributions from authors with a variety of different scientific backgrounds, who shed light on the issue from their specific discipline. In this chapter, we provide some background information about this topic, and outline the main issues that are addressed by the authors within this book: assessments of resource availability in renewable energy scenarios, the usability of methods such as life-cycle assessments, the notion of criticality and its shortcomings, the challenges related to mining the resources that are required to manufacture renewable energy technologies, the impact of political strategies, the opportunities and challenges of recycling and substitution, and the role of consumers.
