Can the Manganese industry keep up with the just energy transition?

Manganese is a critical input for the energy transition, supporting steelmaking, infrastructure and emerging battery technologies, yet rising demand is placing increasing pressure on supply chains. This session will examine whether the manganese industry is equipped to scale responsibly, exploring how investment, policy and ESG expectations can be aligned to ensure the sector supports decarbonisation while delivering fair and inclusive outcomes for producing countries.
