Session Details
The energy transition is increasing demand for critical minerals while exposing vulnerabilities across the systems needed to produce and process them. Concentrated supply, volatile energy and input costs, geopolitical disruptions and rising environmental and social expectations are creating new challenges for both mineral producers and downstream users.
This session will bring together perspectives from commodity markets, mineral production and downstream industry to examine how critical-mineral supply chains can expand and diversify without losing sight of sustainability.
Through examples involving renewable power in South America, copper processing inputs, emerging nickel supply and downstream procurement partnerships, speakers will explore how companies can strengthen security of supply while reducing emissions, improving environmental and social performance and sharing responsibility across the value chain.
