Session 2: Securing supply of metals and critical raw materials from Eurasia

11:00 – 12:30 / 28 November 2022  

The energy transition is causing a surge in demand for minerals for clean energy technologies. As Russia’s and China’s dominance as the global suppliers of these raw materials is diminishing due to sanctions and trade disputes, Central Asia, Mongolia and some European countries are likely to become new hotspots for mineral extraction and a major global supplier of selected critical materials for clean energy technologies.

  • Mining and Renewable energy infrastructure projects
