Circular supply chains: Transforming critical materials into strategic advantage
2026-03-19 03:35 - 15:45 (Europe/London) | Sugarfactory, Amsterdam, Netherlands
In this session at the Future of Utilities conference in Amsterdam, Alberto Ogura, Industry Decarbonisation Lead at Climate KIC, will explore how circular supply chains can help address one of the major structural challenges facing the energy transition: access to critical raw materials. As demand grows for technologies such as batteries, renewable energy infrastructure and electric mobility, securing sustainable and resilient supply chains is becoming increasingly strategic.

Drawing on Climate KIC’s work with partners including Pyxera Global, the keynote will highlight how the Circular Supply Chain Coalition is expanding its activities in Europe. The initiative brings together industry actors to advance circular design, resource recovery and new collaboration models that strengthen resilience while reducing environmental impacts.

The session will examine how circular approaches to materials management can turn resource constraints into opportunities for long-term innovation, competitiveness and sustainability across Europe’s energy and industrial systems.
