With the help of cutting-edge and innovative software, Google’s NotebookLM, we explore a recent DevTech publication for USAID, the Landscape Analysis of Critical Minerals in Southeast Asia. The report examines Southeast Asia’s potential as a critical minerals powerhouse, especially in key battery minerals like nickel and manganese.
With global demand for these minerals surging, the report highlights the region’s position across the value chain as well as barriers such as supply chain challenges, limited investment, governance issues, and environmental risks.
Our podcast delves into the report’s key findings, including calls for an accelerated #ASEAN mining vision, enhanced public awareness, stronger data management, and a stable investment environment to support Southeast Asia’s critical role in the future of clean energy technologies.
