Window On: The Future of Critical Minerals

Critical minerals play an important role for the energy transition, electrification, and electronic devices. Anyone who uses electronic devices, from smart phones to electric vehicles, relies on critical minerals such as cobalt, lithium, or manganese.

  • Understand the complications with mining critical minerals in the US and globally;
  • Assess the supply chain constraints for these metals;
  • Uncover which industries are most exposed to risks;
  • Evaluate the current trade policies affecting critical minerals; and
