Cheniere Energy Ramps Up Lobbying on LNG Exports
Cheniere Energy intensifies Capitol Hill lobbying on LNG exports amid tariffs and tax changes. Discover the industry's key policy priorities.
This is the second episode of a five-part series exploring the lithium-ion battery supply chain. If you haven’t listened to the first episode, we recommend you start there.
To produce enough batteries to reach global net-zero goals, the International Energy Agency says we’ll need to increase production of critical minerals by six fold by 2040. It’s a monumental task.
It can feel like a contradictory mission. To save the planet, we have to mine more minerals; but mining and processing those minerals increases emissions and often negatively impacts indigenous communities and the environment.
In this episode, we start at the beginning of the battery supply chain—lithium mining.
We’ll ask why so much rides on where and how we source lithium, and whether we can balance growing demand with local communities and the land.
So far over this season we've traced the global lithium-ion battery supply chain from mining to processing to manufacturing. And we've put it all into a geopolitical and economic context.
China has been the world's biggest battery manufacturer for over a decade. By 2022, according to the IEA, China manufactured 76% of the world's batteries. But that's changing.
Batteries can replace gasoline in our cars, or diesel in our generators with electricity. But batteries and petroleum-based fuels share something in common: they both rely on energy-intensive processes to turn extracted materials into something useful.
Season 4, Episode 1 Batteries are at the center of the clean energy economy. Will they shape geopolitics in similar ways to oil? We need to electrify much...
The White House has just announced over $2 billion in new critical minerals, magnets, and battery investments.
In early 2026, CGEP held a roundtable and several hybrid closed-door meetings in Mexico City on Mexico's mining sector.
Raw material vulnerability was once again at the center of the G7 agenda at the summit in Evian, France.
Critical minerals were once again near the top of the agenda for G7 leaders as they met in Évian, France, this week, a year after the G7 launched the Critical Minerals Action Plan.
