SAFE

👏 The Trump Administration’s latest action to advance the first wave of critical mineral production projects is a strong step toward securing America’s industrial and energy future. ▪️ At SAFE, we have long said that building resilient, domestic supply chains for critical minerals is not just an economic imperative—it is a national security one. This announcement sends a clear signal to investors, developers, and global markets: the United States is serious about reducing dependence on adversaries and reshoring the materials that power everything from vehicles and semiconductors to defense systems. ⛏️ We commend the Administration for prioritizing permitting reform, fast-tracking high-impact projects, and leveraging tools like FAST-41 and DPA authority to accelerate domestic production. But executive action alone is not enough—we need comprehensive, codified permitting reform from Congress to provide lasting certainty and unlock the full potential of American resource development. ▪️ SAFE has long advocated for the inclusion of more mining projects under the Permitting Council to ensure coordinated, expedited review of critical mineral projects. SAFE will continue to advocate for bold, coordinated action that enables America to lead—from mine to market. #CriticalMinerals #EnergySecurity #SupplyChainResilience #PermittingReform #NationalSecurity #IndustrialStrategy

⚠️ Delays to critical infrastructure projects like the Joint Targeted Interconnection Queue (JTIQ) not only threaten grid reliability but also slow America’s progress toward energy dominance—a cornerstone of our economic strength and national security.   📢 SAFE's Center for Grid Security urges the advancement of the JTIQ project. To meet the Administration’s energy goals, we must turn bold ideas into built infrastructure—without further delay.   #EnergyDominance #GridSecurity #Infrastructure #JTIQ #MISO #SPP #EnergyPolicy #NationalSecurity https://lnkd.in/gDQm-XWW  

At the recent SAFE summit Sir Mick Davis and SAFE Founder, President & CEO, Robbie Diamond discussed the need for governments and investors to support the development of the critical minerals industry – from mining to processing. Without the conviction to back the industry over the long term, the West will not secure core industries or ensure its competitiveness in a rapidly changing global environment.

🚨 For too long, our outdated and slow permitting system has undercut domestic production, delayed critical infrastructure, and weakened supply chain resilience.   ⚡ SAFE applauds the Trump administration’s recent presidential action and its work on aligning our regulatory framework with the speed and scale of today’s energy and national security needs.   📖 Read our full statement on President Trump’s presidential action: https://lnkd.in/gfmSetg8 #PermittingReform #GridSecurity #CriticalMinerals #EnergySecurity

🔋 Within an increasingly minerals-based economy, the U.S. must adopt a strategic and national security-focused approach to securing supply chains for critical minerals and downstream products. 📖 Read our full statement on the Trump administration's recent executive order on Section 232 Actions: https://lnkd.in/eWz6ERSH #CriticalMinerals #Section232 #SupplyChains

𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 At SAFE's recent Summit, Circulor’s Douglas Johnson-Poensgen, Aimee Boulanger, Executive Director of IRMA Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance and our customer Jeff Werner, VP Corporate & Government Affairs of Panasonic North America, discussed the fundamentals of how traceability is building a ‘better’, more trusted battery supply chain and the challenges that remain in scaling best practices. Circulor and Panasonic, the largest battery maker in the world, shared how traceability accomplishes and proves responsible sourcing, sustainable production, and growing volumes of recycled content, essential to improving resource security in the realm of critical minerals. This is not only increasingly important for Panasonic but also for their customers to satisfy ever-evolving regulatory requirements, including tariffs.

Cirba Solutions' CEO and President David Klanecky was in D.C. this month for the annual SAFE Summit. 🦺 He participated in a panel discussion that emphasized how #Recycling efforts have the power to create a more resilient, domestic #SupplyChain. Nice work, David! #CircularEconomy #CriticalMinerals #BatteryRecycling #SAFESummit2025

⚡ America needs a new way of thinking about energy and mineral production, security, and dominance as we look toward a future filled with rising geopolitical tensions and burgeoning energy demands. 🔌 Our national competitiveness and security requires vision and policy courage. Energy dominance requires robust infrastructure, efficient permitting, and energy diversity: a true all-of-the-above energy strategy. 🌐 Whether you were in the room or across the globe, check out clips and pictures from SAFE Summit 2025, as experts discussed the urgency of these issue and the necessity for decisive action. 📸 https://lnkd.in/ggrJPVdA 🎥 https://lnkd.in/gchStwFj #EnergySecurity #CriticalMinerals #SAFESummit2025
