Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues have impacted different business sectors in more or less dramatic ways, and as governments, companies, and their stakeholders increase their engagement with these concerns, traditional industries seem to be staging significant transformations.

Traditional greenhouse gas producers such as conventional automakers, for example, are increasingly ramping-up their electric vehicle production and decarbonizing – in line with the Paris Agreement’s 2030 targets.

In fact, transportation infrastructure across the globe appears to be undergoing re-structuring, including roads, airports, mass transit, railroads, and waterways, largely in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Against this backdrop, Nitesh Shah, research director and commodity strategist at WisdomTree in Europe, provides an in-depth analysis of battery production as the energy landscape shifts.

In a recent IBKR-hosted webinar “Batteries: Harnessing the Power of the Energy Transition,” Shah details the likely rise of lithium-ion battery production, as well as the economic viability of electric vehicles.

Shah further explores how the global uses of renewable power may evolve, including economies of scale and cost, as well as the potential impacts on certain commodities such as nickel and copper, their likely effects on certain market sectors and financial products, and more.
