Assistant Secretary Pyatt’s Travel to the United Kingdom and France – United States Department of State

Assistant Secretary for Energy Resources (ENR) Geoffrey R. Pyatt will travel to the United Kingdom and France December 3-6 for the Resourcing Tomorrow Conference in London and International Energy Agency (IEA) Global Conference on Energy and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Paris.  He will also attend a series of ministerial meetings on energy security, critical minerals, and our support to Ukraine.

At Resourcing Tomorrow, Assistant Secretary Pyatt will deliver a keynote speech addressing the intersection of energy security and energy transition, including the role of diversifying critical mineral supply chains and competitiveness in clean and renewable energy technologies.  He will also emphasize the progress we have made in our work on critical minerals supply chains since the launch of the Minerals Security Partnership in 2022.

In Paris, Assistant Secretary Pyatt will represent Secretary Blinken at the IEA-led ministerial with experts from government, industry, and academia on the growing impact of AI on global energy demand.  He will share U.S. perspectives on how to address the challenges and opportunities posed by AI, and the IEA’s important, evolving role in analyzing the vital linkages between AI and how energy is produced, consumed, and distributed globally.

While in Paris, Assistant Secretary Pyatt will also join U.S. Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Sean Patrick Maloney to brief other OECD members on the Minerals Security Partnership (MSP) and progress on MSP critical minerals projects.  In both capitals he will continue his work in support of the G7+ Ukraine energy resilience group.
