About the Program
The Energy, Minerals & Materials Program examines critical materials supply chains and provides analysis and recommendations for policymakers, industry leaders, and the public. The program’s work covers minerals and materials essential to both legacy and emerging energy technologies, as well as key non-energy industrial and defense applications.
The program focuses on elements that are highly vulnerable to supply disruption, difficult to substitute, and central to economic and technological advancement. By clarifying risks and identifying pressure points across global supply chains, the program aims to inform decision-making as new technologies reshape the demands placed on the energy system.
