The high-stakes logistics of powering a zero-emission future
In short: Moving the world toward net-zero requires more than just better batteries; it demands a total overhaul of global supply chains and infrastructure. This expert Q&A explores the complex trade-offs between technological progress, human rights, and economic viability.
The transition to ultra-low emission vehicles hinges on solving three critical challenges: cost-effective mining of precious metals, ensuring human rights are protected throughout the supply chain, and building the necessary infrastructure for mass adoption. Experts from Nissan, the UK government, and the energy sector discuss these hurdles as fundamental to the global shift toward zero-emission technologies.
The discussion features a diverse panel including policy leaders from the Office of Low Emission Vehicles and industry veterans from Shell and the automotive sector. They examine how these changes will reshape not just how people travel, but how goods move and how national energy pathways are planned.
