Wednesday, June 18, at 2:00PM ET to 3:00PM ET: JFI’s Critical Minerals Portfolio Lead, Jonah Allen, will host Beia Spiller, Transportation Program Director at Resources for the Future, for an Expert Hour conversation.

The session will explore Dr. Spiller’s path as an environmental economist and the current focus of RFF’s transportation program, paying particular attention to their current research in critical mineral supply chains. Dr. Allen and Dr. Spiller will delve into RFF’s research on supply chain economics, covering the implications of extraction and processing costs, economic risks tied to supply chain concentration and market power, and the challenges the U.S. faces in competing across the global mineral and battery supply chain.
