ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The growth of renewable energy production foster the demand for mineral resources as primary inputs, including Copper, silicon, Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt, manganese and aluminium, are thriving.

Besides, the sky-high growth in some relevant renewable technologies, including solar photovoltaics (PV), wind turbines, electric vehicles (EVs) and battery storage, emerges as the critical phenomenon for increasing demand for these metallic minerals. In particular, the global electrification process and trend largely depend on energy storage based on the supply of battery metals.

The statistic shows that since 2010, the average amount of minerals needed for a new unit of power generation capacity has increased by 50% as the share of renewables has risen. The sources of those minerals are highly concentrated among a few countries, including Australia, Peru, Chile, China, Indonesia, USA and Russian Federation.

However, many countries are committed to increasing the share of cleaner energy in their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and National Determined Contribution (NDC).

Given the essential role of critical minerals for deployment of renewable energies, this conference intends to highlights the responses of global mineral markets to the global energy transitions. 

As such, the conference aims to stress a few interrelated aspects: the global mineral market supply chain, the commercial potential of renewable energy, socioeconomic and ecological responses in Russia and globally, and the policy challenges. 

THIS CONFERENCE AIMS

To stress the input demand function of each mineral induced by renewable energy production globally

To highlight the estimation and forecasting of mineral prices incorporating different global renewable energy targets as per SDGs and NDC

The keynotes will cover the following issues related to mineral markets and clean energy transitions:

The response of Mineral markets to global energy transitions

Mineral markets and climate events

Demand and supply sides of mineral markets in renewable technology handling

Mineral prices and renewable energy targets of the countries

Geopolitics of mineral supply chain

Mineral production and economic policy uncertainty

Co-benefiting business model for mineral-based clean energy transitions

Russian mineral exports and global energy transitions

Russian mineral industries and hydrocarbon revenue income

Determinants of Renewable energy

Energy storage facility

Clean energy and smart city
