Balancing the critical minerals equation: emissions reduction meets supply security

The race to secure critical minerals is accelerating—but so is the urgency to reduce their carbon footprint. Mining, refining, and processing are energy-intensive, often reliant on fossil fuels, and responsible for significant emissions. Paradoxically, as the demand for net-zero metals grows, so too does their footprint.

This webinar explores the practical pathways for decarbonising critical minerals supply. Our panelists share tangible insights, from electrifying operations and adopting renewable energy sources, to using low carbon mining technologies.

The panel:

• Urishani Govender, chief sustainability officer, Harmony Gold Mining Company
• Arend Van Der Goes, senior sustainability manager, Eramet
• Reza Rahmaditio, critical minerals project lead, WRI Indonesia
• Moderator: Ian Welsh, publishing director, Innovation Forum
