German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made grand statements in Toronto yesterday; Canada has „almost limitless potential to become a superpower in renewable energies and the sustainable extraction of raw materials,“ he said during an appearance with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Shortly thereafter, Scholz and Economic Affairs Minister Robert Habeck signed an agreement with Canada on cooperation in the production and transport of hydrogen. The two countries also want to cooperate on raw materials for battery production because Germany’s automakers are massively dependent on imports of lithium, nickel, graphite, and cobalt, among other things, as Leonie Düngefeld and Markus Grabitz report.
