Today, we investigate the intersection of the energy transition, critical minerals and defence. As with commodities, warfare is also undergoing rapid and profound change, driven by the electrification of defence over the last 20 years.
Batteries proliferate on the battlefield, and the energy transition is impacting national security. We are witnessing a shift from capital-intensive assets to small, inexpensive weapons, such as drones, that can have profound impacts. This poses a particular problem for the US, where energy dominance has been based on hydrocarbons, as well as its military fighting capabilities. Now, on an electrified battlefront, supply chains that support them sit in China, threatening the West's defence capabilities.
Speaking to our host Paul Chapman on this episode is Joe Bryan, Principal at Muswell Orange, a boutique consulting firm specialising in energy and its intersection with national security. Before returning to the private sector, Joe served as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defence and as the Department of Defence’s Chief Sustainability Officer. He also held the role of Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, where he oversaw policies governing the Department’s installation and operational energy programmes.
