Technology to Transform the Clean Energy Supply Chain

With the goal of shifting to a net-zero-carbon emissions economy in the next few decades, a team is making sure that manufacturers have the materials, components, infrastructure, and other resources needed to meet the targets — while making the production of renewable energy technologies as clean as their operation.

"We need to make sure no one is left behind in the clean energy transition," said Tsisilile Igogo , a researcher from NREL. "This means that in every link of the supply chain we're weighing social, economic, and environmental impacts on underserved communities within the U.S. and beyond its borders."
