Don't show this message again
(a) Plan
(1) In general
Not later than 180 days after November 15, 2021, the Administrator, in coordination with the Director of the United States Geological Survey, shall develop a plan for the modeling and forecasting of demand for energy technologies, including for energy production, transmission, or storage purposes, that use minerals that are or could be designated as critical minerals.
(2) InclusionsThe plan developed under paragraph (1) shall identify—
(A)
the type and quantity of minerals consumed, delineated by energy technology;
(B)
existing markets for manufactured energy-producing, energy-transmission, and energy-storing equipment; and
(C)
emerging or potential markets for new energy-producing, energy-transmission, and energy-storing technologies entering commercialization.
