What are the environmental impacts of metals used in energy applications? And what challenges might the use of such metals pose as society transitions to a clean energy future? At this webinar, Michelle Michot Foss, fellow in energy and minerals, and Rachel Meidl, fellow in energy and environment, discussed the dynamics of non-fuel minerals associated with the energy transition. They focused on supply-chain environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations and end-of-life risk management for metals, including recycling and disposal. They also considered how the outcome of the upcoming presidential election could impact policy and regulatory dynamics in this field.
This webinar followed a private roundtable discussion for energy forum members featuring Bob Brackett of Bernstein Research and Tristan Abbey, president of Comarus Analytics. For information about membership, please visit https://bit.ly/33Fa21t.
