It was a great pleasure to moderate a very insightful and balanced expert seminar on new challenges and policy instruments for the EU's supply security of #criticalrawmaterials (such as the EU's new '#CriticalRawMaterialAct) as the result of the expansion of renwables, electric mobility and giga battery factories and the digitalization of the energy and other sectors. The excellent and informative panelists were: Mr #DanielMes, Member of the Cabinet of Vice-President Timmermans, European Commission; Ms #SusanaSolís-Pérez MEP (Renew/ES); Mr #Giles Dickson, CEO, WindEurope; Mr #Andreas Sauer, Policy Director, EU Corporate Representation, BMW. For the background you may also read my previous analysis: “Critical Raw Materials for the Energy Transition: Europe must Start Mining again”, in: Energypost.eu, 10 January 2022, 13 pp. (https://lnkd.in/eg3A-C7d)
