Policy and ESG regulations
Understand how new policies and regulations are impacting commodity markets across the globe
In the new generation energy industry, new legislation requires a digital battery passport for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, as well as a compulsory carbon footprint declaration. The US government’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is likely to have significant consequences for the global battery materials supply chain, and financial incentives from the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) will mean some businesses will re-examine their investment opportunities. Global metals markets are also under growing scrutiny as decarbonization goals become more important to governments and corporations.
