"The more we can improve efficiency in the processing, the more we can solve that technical hurdle and complete on a greater scale." Innovation requires scaling up efficiently, cost competitively, and from other sources.

Developing policy solutions to build resilient minerals supply chains needed for national, economic, & energy security.
About us
The United States cannot maintain its position as a national security and energy leader without reducing reliance on foreign adversaries for key critical minerals. This will require a new approach–one that is market-led, environmentally and socially responsible, builds capacity in both production and processing, and works with allies while also forging new geopolitical alliances with resource-rich Global South countries. The Critical Minerals Security Program is a groundbreaking initiative providing research and policy leadership as the United States races to build the resilient minerals supply chains needed for national and energy security and economic competitiveness. The Program will build upon CSIS's longstanding work with policymakers on both sides of the aisle to support market-led efforts to expand production, processing, and recycling capacities to improve domestic and global security. With a new paradigm, the United States can enable its diplomats, policymakers, and private sector actors to develop a secure supply chain and meet the mineral needs of the 21st century.
