Professor and alumnus published in Journal of Energy and Natural Resources Law

Professor Rudiger Tscherning and alumnus Brady Chapman, JD'20 have co-authored a paper on Canadian lithium mining and critical and strategic minerals for clean tech battery storage technologies

Dr. Rudiger Tscherning and Brady Chapman, JD'20 of MLT Aikins LLP have published a paper in the Journal of Energy and Natural Resources Law examining the legal considerations and risks associated with the development of a petro-lithium industry in Alberta. Their research examines, in particular, the question of whether the existing oil and gas focussed regulatory regimes will be prepared for the lithium industry as a new subsurface participant and how to secure critical and strategic minerals for a “localized” clean tech industry in Alberta.
