Abigail Hunter on Critical Minerals Innovation in US National Labs

Critical mineral supplies are under strain as industries race to secure them for everything from electric vehicle batteries to renewable energy infrastructure.

Constructive’s Jake Wellman hosted a CATALYZE webinar that brought together leaders from mining technology, sustainable finance, and policy to explore how industry can build resilient critical mineral supplies, scaling supply chains while reducing risk and cost.

In this clip Abigail Hunter, Executive Director of SAFE’s Center for Critical Minerals Strategy, argues that national labs are essential incubators for new technologies in exploration, processing, and materials.
