“Sustainable Materials for Emerging Energy Technology (SMEET) II follows on from the very successful one day conference held in February 2011 where eminent speakers from both metals supply and renewable energy materials expertise set the scene in an uncertain materials supply and demand market. A range of materials supply issues relating to emerging energy technologies where rapidly growing industries are likely to challenge the supply of materials. This workshop will continue to look at the “pinch points” in materials supply such as rare earth metals, lithium, platinum, indium etc. which might become in short supply as demand increases from different emerging energy technologies. This covers the emerging technologies of DC electric motors, fuel cells, hydrogen storage, batteries and PV solar energy.”
