Critical Minerals and Energy-Intensive Commodities in the Geoeconomics of Clean Energy

Abstract

This panel focuses on the role of upstream commoditie, i.e. critical minerals and energy-intensive commodities, within the geoeconomics of clean energy. The papers explore how the dynamics of geoeconomic competition (and cooperation) are taking shape along different commodity supply chains and how different types of firms are responding. The panel also considers the role of standards and regulation as a vehicles for exerting power and influencing the decarbonization of energy-intensive industries.
