German Mineral Resources Agency (Deutsche Rohstoffagentur DERA)

The Commodity Risk Reports from the German Mineral Resources Agency (DERA), which is part of the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR), shall support German companies in recognizing potential price and supply risks in the commodity markets at an early stage, thereby enabling them to develop alternative strategies in the procurement of these metals if needed. For the German economy platinum, palladium and rhodium are of vital importance as these metals are widely used in the automotive and chemicals industries. Since there are no PGM mining activities in Germany the country heavily depends on global imports and ranks number two as an importer of PGMs (including intermediates and scrap). To some extend the German demand is supplied by the secondary sector i.e. the recycling of spent catalytic converters.

The Commodity Risk Report on PGMs may be downloaded (only in German) free of charge through the website of DERA: http://www.deutsche-rohstoffagentur.de/DERA/DE/Downloads/studie_Platin_2015.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=2

Printed copies may be requested through dera(at)bgr.de. For further information or detailed questions please contact Mr. Michael Schmidt at DERA (tel. +49 (0)30 36993 238).
