December 7, 2022December 7, 2022 arnbethnic

Extracting lithium involves pumping underground water deposits to the surface and then extracting the metal from evaporation pools. (Stock image.) Healthy demand from battery manufacturers and shortages have propelled lithium prices to records, but rising supplies and China removing subsidies for electric vehicles mean a retreat is on the cards.

Benedikt Sobotka warns that the lack of recycling capability could dramatically limit the speed at which the EV transition takes place Transportation currently accounts for 37% of global CO2 emissions, according to the International Energy Agency, which means the decarbonisation of the transport sector forms an essential part of any serious plan to address climate change. At the heart of this process is the transition from traditional, internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs).

Greening global economy brings dependence on critical minerals

November 4, 2022November 4, 2022 arnbethnic

After nearly a century of geopolitical tension over access to oil, experts worry that the global transition to clean energy is creating new dependencies on the critical minerals needed for solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicle batteries. ADVERTISING Control over most of these essential elements is concentrated in a handful of countries, none more than China, they note. Which metals are key for the energy transition? Cobalt, nickel, manganese and lithium are critical to making electric vehicle batteries. Rare earths such as neodymium, praseodymium and dysprosium are used in… Read More Here

Consider industrial mining investment outside of Greater Katanga! (Grandstand)-DRC

October 26, 2022October 26, 2022 admin

The DRC is a geological scandal. There is gold, cobalt, copper, lithium, coltan, etc. These natural advantages are reflected in particular by the country’s positive growth rate, driven largely by the mining sector. However, on closer inspection, this potential seems to me to be under-exploited. Indeed, when I analyze the State of mining titles dated July 2021, it appears that out of the 388 active mining titles belonging to private entities, 245, or 63% are located in the provinces of Upper Katanga and Lualaba. The western provinces where there are however traces of minerals… Read More Here
