This policy note outlines how mineral rich countries can leverage transition-critical minerals to drive green industrialisation, strengthen supply chain resilience, and mitigate environmental risks. It highlights the need for local value addition and stronger linkages between mining and domestic industries to boost long-term growth. It also explores how diversified and cooperative supply chains can reduce geopolitical vulnerabilities for producers and […]
Experts estimate that 37 of the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS’s) 2022 list of 50 critical minerals occur on the OCS (outer continental shelf). Seabed deposits with critical mineral resources may occur across the OCS, but not all deposits on the OCS may be economically viable. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), within the Department of the Interior (DOI), administers […]
The energy transition’s dependence on a certain number of mineral resources no longer needs to be demonstrated. Faced with China’s domination of both the extraction and refining segments and the downstream sectors (batteries, photovoltaic panels), virtually all industrial economies have legitimately embarked on policies to secure their supplies. These policies are based, on the one hand, on the development of […]
As global reliance on critical minerals grows and geopolitical tensions intensify, resource-rich nations are looking to models like OPEC to inform cooperative governance strategies that promote equity, stability, and strategic autonomy. This digest examines how such lessons can be applied to help shape more resilient and equitable critical mineral markets. Source: Kleinman Centrer for Energy Policy
