To investigate the increasingly interconnected nature of material needs, a diverse group of authors including policy experts, geologists, mining engineers, and energy specialists, collaborated to review academic publications, technical reports, legal documents, and published industry data. A broad set of concerns including technical challenges, material supply chain considerations, investment strategies, modeling problems, and environmental issues, were found to be potential material barriers to the successful adoption of low-carbon technologies.
The recently published review outlines policy recommendations for topical energy concerns, and together these recommendations serve to highlight the complex, interdisciplinary materials approach required for a low-carbon energy transition. Because of these challenges, adoption of low-carbon technologies, and achieving low-carbon emissions goals, might be more complex than initially anticipated.
Join us for the first installment of the joint Institute of the Americas and Payne Institute for Public Policy “Critical Minerals and the Energy Transition” webinar series.
Our first webinar will feature a presentation by Jordy Lee, Research Associate for the Payne Institute for Public Policy at Colorado School of Mines. He will share details from their analysis and policy recommendations to further inform discussion and debate surrounding key facets of the global energy transition.
The webinar will be held Thursday, April 2 at 10:00am San Diego (12:00 pm Houston; 1:00 pm Washington, DC; GMT/UTC – 8 hours). The webinar will include a live Q&A session with the audience.
