2026 New Energy and Carbon Market Business Strategic Forum Focusing on Carbon Costs, Electricity Risks, and Corporate Competitiveness
The global energy transition is rapidly reshaping the business environment. As carbon pricing, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), sustainability disclosure requirements, electricity market reforms, and green finance continue to evolve, businesses are facing far more than ESG compliance. These developments are fundamentally transforming corporate cost structures, energy resilience, and the way capital markets evaluate business performance.
Co-organized by EnergyOMNI and RECCESSARY, the "2026 New Energy and Carbon Market Business Strategic Forum" will bring together policymakers, multinational corporations, energy industry leaders, financial institutions, and technology experts under the central theme of "Carbon Costs, Electricity Risks, and Capital Screening."

OMNI Features｜IEA: Shortage of Critical Minerals May Hinder Global Green Energy Transition．Geothermal Energy in Germany Can Supply Up to 25% of Heating Demand．PwC Survey: Consumers Willing to Pay 9.7% More for Sustainable Goods Despite Inflation
A report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) indicates that manufacturers of products such as electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar panels will face challenges due to shortages of critical minerals, including copper, lithium, cobalt, and nickel. It emphasizes the need to increase investments in recycling and new mining projects. According to the analysis presented in the report, the projected global supply of lithium will only meet 50% of the world's demand by 2035; similarly, the projected supply of copper will only satisfy two-thirds of the demand at that time.
