Taking stock of the energy transition: A pivotal moment for metals
The economic and political environment remains uncertain. Market prospects swing with every change in fiscal and trade policy, and metal prices have been volatile and unpredictable. Meanwhile, the energy transition is a clear pull for long-term metals demand, but the pace of progress is faltering. The conclusion of COP28 confirmed no major country was on track to meet the Paris-aligned commitments. What are the challenges for renewable-led electrification and what are the ramifications for mined commodities? How will producers finance and deliver sustainable, low-carbon supply growth during increasingly uncertain times?
Join us at the LME Forum 2024 in London, UK on 2 October, and gain crucial insights on the key trends that are shaping the metals industry.
Please register your interest if you are keen to attend the event.
