Critical Minerals To Play A Crucial Role In 2023

Constance
The ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe has highlighted Europe’s dependence on Russian gas, causing prices to rise for both individuals and businesses. This has led to increased demand for a rapid shift towards a green economy, which in turn is driving the need for ‘critical’ minerals from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which holds some of the world’s largest reserves of these minerals. In early 2022, President Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of Congo, along with the Presidents of Zambia and Rwanda, signed a joint declaration to promote value addition… Read More Here

Miners Have To Make Move Into Higher Risk Jurisdictions, ERG CEO Says

Constance
Speaking in an interview with Fastmarkets on Thursday January 11, Benedikt Sobotka, chief executive officer of Eurasian Resources Group (ERG) said that while large, listed miners have historically turned to perceived lower-risk environments such as Canada and Australia, this will need to change because there are vast resources outside those countries. “It forces companies to go into jurisdictions they have historically shied away from and makes it – particularly because of today’s ESG requirements – more difficult to get access and operate,” he said on the sidelines of the Future Minerals Forum… Read More Here
Will Lithium Supply Meet Soaring Demand? 3 Battery Metals International 

Will Lithium Supply Meet Soaring Demand?

Constance
An ever-growing appetite for the key battery metal is raising questions about a supply–demand balance in the market. As the world moves towards a decarbonised future, it is becoming increasingly clear that mining – namely its ability to extract vital future-facing minerals from the ground – will play a significant role in that journey. Lithium is among the most important of these minerals. A lightweight metal used in the cathodes of lithium-ion batteries, which power electric vehicles (EVs), lithium demand has increased significantly in recent years – it is expected to reach… Read More Here

Study Says Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries Have a Smaller Carbon Footprint Compared to Lithium-ion Batteries

Constance
A life-cycle assessment (LCA) study executed by the independent consulters Denkstatt, Vienna, for Enerox / CellCube, reveals that Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries excel with a highly favorable environmental footprint for large-scale energy storage solutions compared to lithium-ion battery technology. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are important puzzle pieces of the energy transition – the technology even accelerates the roll-out of Solar/PV and wind power deployments. Lithium-ion and Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFB) are the two key BESS technologies that dominate the battery energy storage market.For the new ESG reporting requirements… Read More Here
