Abstract: This article summarises research in the field of natural resource economics. It aims to present the issues at stake for energy systems related to resource scarcity. It examines the challenges and opportunities associated with the energy transition, highlighting the interactions between the exploitation of fossil and mineral resources and the development of renewable energies. Particular attention is paid to the crucial role of recycling, analysing its determinants, market organisation and the public policies likely to promote its deployment. Finally, the article explores the economic links between primary and secondary raw materials, as well as their impact on the dynamics of the energy transition, while considering environmental and regulatory constraints.
