CRoPlus: The raw materials needed for a clean energy transition exist. The challenge is the time needed to gain them

October 13, 2022

How will the EU's decarbonisation efforts evolve in the future? This topic was discussed by our researcher Michal Hrubý in the Studio Leonardo programme of Český rozhlas Plus.
