About Us
Energy Transition will be raw material intensive. It will create unprecedented demand for critical materials, fundamental for renewable energy sources and other sustainable global sectors. Project Blue provides market intelligence on energy transition supply chains and the critical materials that underpin them. Our expert analysis is delivered through subscription services, consulting and events. We are committed to analytical rigour, unbiased forecasting, and personal service.
What we do
Project Blue provides a comprehensive, independent view of the supply chains it covers. Our supply-side models are built bottom-up, capturing all known assets and companies involved in production. We track material flows through the supply chain via bespoke analysis of company-level linkages and internal trade. Our demand-side analysis is all developed in house and leverages comprehensive internal consumption models for all industry segments related to Energy Transition and the wider global economy. Our forecasts for supply, demand and prices of critical materials and end-use sectors go out to 2050, providing an independent view of global market dynamics over the net zero horizon.
How we do it
Our approach combines primary and secondary research. Our expert team travels extensively to visit our global network at industry events and gain first-hand insight of the markets we serve by visiting mine sites, refineries and manufacturing plants. We combine this primary insight with analysis of a broad range of secondary sources, supported by subscriptions to a wide range of periodicals, market data services and price reporting agencies. Our global team is led by recognised experts in their fields, with decades of combined experience in mineral economics. We are committed to analytical rigour. All of our analysis is subjected to an extensive peer review system so that our subscription services and bespoke consulting meets the very highest standards.
