In this discussion from the 2023 SOSV Climate Tech Summit (Sept 26-27, 2023), three startup founders discuss the importance of critical minerals in the energy transition and how their companies are working to secure access to these minerals. One focuses on lithium extraction from brine, another on refining copper ore with electricity, and the last one on extracting minerals from the ocean floor. They also discuss the challenges of the current supply chain and the need for innovative and sustainable solutions.
