Critical Minerals are Key in the Energy Transition

As the U.S. and other countries seek to transition to a clean energy economy, we are experiencing a significant increase in demand for critical minerals. Critical minerals are key ingredients for many clean technologies including car batteries, wind turbines and grid storage. The U.S. is grappling with how to build out a domestic supply chain that improves economic competitiveness and national security while addressing social and environmental concerns.

Please join us for a conversation with Senator Murkowski and key stakeholders to explore challenges and solutions for strengthening U.S. supply chains to secure reliable and sustainable critical minerals.
