Media www.rajawalisiber.com – The Atlantic Council Global Energy Center on Tuesday, November 16 from 10:00 – 11:00 AM EST for the launch of our new report on minerals for US electric vehicle needs, presented in partnership with the National Mining Association. This discussion, moderated by report author Reed Blakemore, will highlight the challenges and opportunities for the US government and the private sector to grow mineral supply chains in support of goals to electrify the transportation sector.
Electric vehicles will play a pivotal role in US efforts to reduce emissions and meet its obligations under the Paris agreement. For the United States to deliver on the “decade of ambition” President Biden declared at COP26 in Glasgow, it must tackle the 30% of its greenhouse gas emissions originating from transportation. To that end, the administration’s pledge to bring electric vehicle sales to 50% of the consumer car market is central to the administration’s plans to deploy energy transition infrastructure under the bipartisan infrastructure framework (BIF), and will transform a US auto sector it aims to “build back better” amid the post-pandemic recovery. Yet in order to equip the industry for an electrified future, the public and private sectors must understand how these goals will shape growing US demands for key minerals and metals, and address how existing challenges within mineral supply chains might threaten to derail the rollout of electric vehicles.
