MP Materials and the race to rebuild rare earth supply chains: Ryan Corbett on The Next Big Thing

25 June 2026

In the latest episode of The Next Big Thing podcast, we hosted Ryan Corbett, Chief Financial Officer of MP Materials, one of the most strategically important companies in the rare earths space. We discussed why rare earths sit at the centre of the supply chain reset, why NdPr is the real bottleneck, and how demand is broadening well beyond electric vehicles (EVs) into robotics, drones, AI infrastructure and defence. Ryan also explained why scale, policy support and vertical integration matter so much in a market still dominated by China. This blog summarises the key messages Ryan delivered on the show.

Renewable energy is catching a second wind

15 June 2026

Back in 1973, an oil shock changed the way the world thought about energy. More than fifty years later, geopolitical tensions, rising electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) and record renewable energy deployment are once again putting the sector in the spotlight. This blog explores why renewable energy is catching a second wind, how China is driving much of the growth, and why some emerging technologies may finally have found their moment. Investors, it seems, are keen to make hay while the sun is shining.

Lithium: the light metal with a heavy impact

28 April 2026

Lithium was once a laboratory curiosity. Today, it sits at the centre of the global shift towards electrification and digitalisation. As electric vehicles scale, battery storage expands, and industrial demand evolves, lithium demand is projected to rise meaningfully over the coming decades. Yet supply growth is expected to slow and remains concentrated in a handful of countries. In this blog, we break down the demand and supply outlook using International Energy Agency projections, with additional insight from our partners at Wood Mackenzie, and explore what this could mean for investors.

Why the market's excitement around uranium is justified

20 February 2026

Nuclear power is firmly back on the global energy agenda, driven by energy security, decarbonisation goals and the rapidly rising power needs of data centres and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. As governments and the private sector commit to expanding nuclear capacity, investor attention is increasingly turning to uranium, the fuel at the heart of the nuclear value chain. In this blog, we examine why the nuclear renaissance still has much further to run, why current build-out plans fall short of stated targets, and what this means for uranium at a time when supply is already constrained.
