In this episode under the System Shapers theme of GET SET GREEN, we explore the hidden systems and global dependencies shaping the clean energy transition.

Meet Tomasz Nadrowski, Portfolio Manager at Amvest Terraden Critical Minerals Fund, former Director at the World Economic Forum, and author of Mineral War: China’s Quest for Weapons of Mineral Destruction, With over 35 years of experience across mining, metals, finance, and critical minerals investments, his work focuses on mineral security, supply chain dependencies, and the evolving realities of the global energy transition.

As the world rapidly transitions toward electric vehicles, batteries, and renewable energy technologies, critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, graphite, and rare earth elements are becoming increasingly important to the future of clean energy. Through this conversation, we take a closer look at why these minerals matter, how supply chains are evolving globally, and the realities of balancing sustainability with rising mineral demand.

We also explore the role of recycling and circular economy systems, the future of mining in a clean energy world, and how countries including India are preparing for a rapidly changing energy landscape shaped by technology, infrastructure, and resource security.

What we discussed:

1. Why critical minerals are important for clean energy technologies

2. Supply chain dependencies in the global energy transition

3. Sustainability challenges in mining and mineral extraction

4. The role of recycling and circular economy systems

5. India’s role in the future critical minerals ecosystem

6. The future of critical minerals and clean energy infrastructure
