The era-defining shift from fossil fuels to cleanenergy is set to deliver an unprecedented new boom for commodities,and an opportunity for investors, as a range of critical mineralsfinally get the attention they deserve due to their essential role indelivering emissions-free power and transport. To meet global climatechange targets, demand for minerals and metals, like cobalt, used ingreen technologies such as rechargeable batteries used in vehicleelectrification is expected to rise exponentially, and yet theseirreplaceable building blocks enabling the energy transition, areexpected to be in short supply, in part due to concentration ofproduction and processing.
But as the global initiative to transition away frommany carbon-based forms of energy proceeds, so too does the urgencyarise for sustainable sources for critical components that go intothese green technologies.
Canada, through collaboration with the United Statesand other strategic nation partners, has benefit to having thecritical mineral reserves, skilled workforce, infrastructure,technology and clean energy necessary to fuel a new lithium ionbattery ecosystem.
During the event, Mitchell will represent both GlobalEnergy Metals as well as the Battery Metals Association of Canada , of which he is a Director of, to share an outlook for thecobalt sector focusing on the fundamental changes impacting thebattery metals market. During the panel discussion he intends toemphasize how Canada, and North America as a whole, can play a crucialrole, through companies like Global Energy Metals, in identifyingstrategic opportunities and be globally competitive in the sector asdemand for critical materials grows and the push to regionalize supplychains is prioritized in an effort to meet demand for new energytechnologies.
