Abstract

Through COVID-19, the importance of supply chain management of raw material minerals has been maximized. In particular, supply chain management is important for rare metals, which are difficult to manage demand and supply, in order to secure raw materials for the parts and materials industry that Korea is actively promoting. In this study, a system was established and evaluated to select Critical minerals that need to respond to Korea's industrial structure and global risks by quantifying tangible and intangible risk factors. Global Supply Concentration, Supplying country risk, Policy Social Environment Regulation, Domestic Import Instability, Risk responsiveness, Market Scale, Demand Fluctuation and Economic Importance were evaluated as evaluation indicators. The degree of risk and risk impact were quantitatively measured using the criticality matrix-criticality level. After evaluating 40 types of minerals used in domestic new growth businesses, 15 types of Critical minerals(Li, Pt, Co, V, REE, Mg, Mo, Cr, Ti, W, C, Ni, Al, Mn, Si) in Korea were selected. The results are expected to be used to establish policies to strengthen resource security and to make decisions to form a company's raw material portfolio.

COVID-19를 겪으면서 광물자원의 공급망 관리 중요성이 극대화되었다. 특히 수요 및 공급 관리가 어려운 광물자원은 우리나라가 적극적으로 추진하고 있는 소재부품산업의 원료확보 차원에서 공급망 관리가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 광종별로 글로벌 공급위험과 공급위험 발생시 국내 경제적 영향의 유·무형 요인을 정량화하고 위험상태 행렬(criticality matrix-criticality level)을 이용하는 핵심광물을 선정하는 체계를 수립하고 평가를 수행하였다. 독과점성, 생산국가 불안정성, 사회환경정책 규제성, 수입 불안정성, 리스크 대응력, 시장규모, 시장 확장성, 경제적 중요성 등을 평가항목으로 하였다. 국내 신성장 사업에 활용되는 40여종의 광물을 평가하여 15종(Li, Pt, Co, V, REE, Mg, Mo, Cr, Ti, W, C, Ni, Al, Mn, Si)을 핵심광물로 선정하였다. 해당 결과는 자원안보 강화를 위한 정책 수립과 기업의 원료 포트폴리오 구성을 위한 의사결정 등에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
