CACOR Live | Raymond Leury | The energy transition: Do we have the Required Materials? | 2 Sep 2026 at 13:30 EST

The transition to green energy will require large quantities of materials to manufacture the equipment needed for low-carbon technologies. Some essential resources—including copper, lithium, and cobalt—are limited because they are relatively scarce or difficult to extract from the Earth’s crust. This raises an important question: Are sufficient materials available to complete the energy transition? This webinar will examine these constraints and explore the many options available to address potential shortages and keep the transition moving forward..

USING COVER CROPS TO CONTROL PLANT-PARASITIC NEMATODESĀ 

Plant‑parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are tiny worms that live in soil and feed on plant roots. They damage roots, reduce the plant's uptake of nutrients, and lower crop yields often without plants showing any obvious symptoms. As part of a much larger soil ecosystem, PPN numbers and activities are influenced by soil microbiomes (communities of microbes living in soil), including beneficial …
