Lithuania
Critical minerals, policy, and the energy transition
The Energy Transition in Lithuania
Lithuania is steadily advancing its energy transition by focusing on energy security, diversification, and the exploration of critical minerals. As a key player in the Baltic region, Lithuania is enhancing its clean energy infrastructure with investments in wind, solar, and hydropower, while working to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, including natural gas. The country is also exploring rare earths and other critical minerals essential for clean energy technologies such as batteries and renewable energy systems. This exploration, alongside Lithuania's strong commitment to ESG principles, is positioning it as a growing force in Europe’s energy and mineral markets. Lithuania’s role in the European Union and NATO strengthens its strategic importance in regional energy security and geopolitics. With mineral production capacities focused on nitrogen, sulfur, and fertilizers, along with a robust base in essential minerals like clay, limestone, and sand, Lithuania is shaping its future as a reliable and sustainable contributor to Europe’s energy and resource supply chains. Its ongoing efforts to align with EU climate goals and improve ESG standards are reinforcing its position as a forward-thinking country in the region’s clean energy transition.
