The Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) is an annual week-long platform for energy professionals, policymakers and commentators to discuss and share best practices and solutions within the global energy space. In 2010, SIEW attracted 14,655 participants from over 60 countries. About 450 exhibitors took part and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong delivered the Singapore Energy Lecture.

Roundtables are short but intensive sessions, fielded by a moderator, and designed to involve a small cohort of participants engaging in debate and progressing their priorities in extended discussion. They also make excellent venues for giving and receiving targeted feedback and for meeting like-minded industry peers in in-depth debate on case studies or materials.

SIEW Technology and Rare Earth Metals for Clean Energy Roundtable:

Minerals like lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements are becoming increasingly strategic. The electric vehicle and renewable energy sectors face supply chain challenges and rising raw materials costs. Roundtable participants will:

Understand the supply chain risks of lithium, cobalt, vanadium, rare earth elements, platinum group metals and more
Formulate mitigation strategies
Meet executives from the automotive, energy, recycling and mining industries

Renewable Energy Begins at the Mine

by Gal Luft, March 22, 2010

Despite the recent failure of the Copenhagen climate summit to produce a binding treaty for greenhouse gas reduction, in the coming years the share of renewable energy in our energy portfolio is expected to grow significantly. But as the world moves away from fossil fuels, industrial minerals like lithium, cobalt, indium, gallium, tellurium, vanadium, and chromium, to name a few, are becoming increasingly strategic and failure to ensure their supply could not only strip the green revolution of any meaningful content but also create unnecessary national security vulnerabilities for the U.S.
