Why Critical Minerals in the energy transition?
Without critical minerals, there is no energy transition. From lithium and cobalt to rare earths and graphite, these raw materials are indispensable for clean energy technologies like EV batteries, wind turbines, solar panels, and hydrogen production. Yet as demand surges, so do the strategic, economic, and political stakes.
This masterclass offers participants a strategic and realistic perspective on the global race for critical minerals. You will discover which materials are essential, why they are crucial to the energy system of tomorrow, and how their concentration impact national policy, innovation agendas and economic resilience.
We connect geopolitics, technology, and market intelligence into one coherent narrative, equipping you to make informed, future-proof decisions within your organisation or sector. Whether you’re in energy, policy, finance or industry, this programme will help you understand the structural shifts reshaping your landscape.
You will explore:
- Which minerals are most critical for clean energy systems, and who controls them?
- How global powers are reshaping industrial and foreign policy to secure supply.
- What technological innovations are emerging in extraction, recycling, and battery chemistry?
- How market volatility, export controls, and supply concentration influence investment decisions.
- The role of public policy in increasing resilience and enabling strategic autonomy.
In a rapidly shifting global context, critical minerals are no longer a niche concern. They are the backbone of the energy future and understanding them is essential for anyone shaping policy, strategy, or investment in the energy space.
