In this episode of The Energy Forum, we tackle the future of fuel in two essential sectors of the global economy: trucking and air transport. These industries are vital for moving goods and people worldwide but also have high fuel demands and significant emissions. As climate goals and regulatory pressures intensify, how are these sectors evolving to meet the demand for greener, more sustainable energy?
Join host Ed Emmett, fellow in energy and transportation policy at Rice University's Baker Institute, as he dives into this timely discussion with Peter Zonneveld, president of Neste US, a leader in renewable fuels. Tune in to learn how the trucking and air travel industries are preparing to power their engines sustainably and the pivotal role renewable fuels could play in the transition to a lower-carbon world.

In this episode, we dive into the world of mining, minerals, and materials and explore the critical role they play in the evolving energy system. With the rapid increase in demand for new energy technologies, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles, the need for essential minerals and materials is rising significantly. But with this growing demand comes a host of challenges — including supply chain constraints, environmental impacts, and economic and national security concerns.
Michelle Michot Foss, fellow in energy, minerals, and materials, joins Ken Medlock, senior director of the Center for Energy Studies, to discuss the complexities of sourcing, refining, and managing these resources and what it all means for the future of energy.
