Episode Synopsis

Critical minerals are essential to the clean energy transition - but many are scarce, and their extraction and processing is concentrated in a small number of countries. In this episode of Industries in Transition, Standard Chartered experts Richard Horrocks-Taylor, Ling Lu and Catriona Bell explain why critical minerals can find themselves at the centre of geopolitics and discuss the realities of rebalancing supply chains in the quest to move to a more sustainable future.
