DOE Alaska Workshop on Critical Materials

The United States Energy Association (USEA), in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) and DOE’s Arctic Energy Office cordially invites you to a workshop on Critical Minerals in Alaska. The workshop will be held on May 9 from 8:30 am – 5:00 pm.

The workshop will have speakers and panels on: 1. Alaska’s significant potential for critical minerals mining and processing; 2. opportunities to advance deployment of critical minerals projects that can add value to Alaska’s economy, create high-wage jobs, and support U.S. national security and leadership in a clean energy economy; and 3. understanding of federal funding, incentives, and other tools available to help support critical minerals production and processing in Alaska. The meeting is a follow-up to a well-attended (over 100 attendees) and highly successful Critical Minerals Workshop held on February 22, 2023, at Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage, detailed here.
