New Energy in New Energies: The Broadening of Energy Minerals Takes Hold
Thursday, 29 August
11:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
George R. Brown Convention Center, Level 3, Room 310
The Energy Minerals Division has seen a considerable broadening in what is considered an energy mineral in the last few years. Hydrogen, helium, geothermal, and the rise of critical minerals that are specifically recoverable from oil and gas production streams broaden the mandate for legacy companies in the energy space and has created several whole new market sectors inhabited by both startup companies and incumbents. This talk examines broad market trends in these new energy resources and offer perspectives on what the new markets can learn from the incumbents and vice versa.
Fee: $75
