Study identifies DRC as a favorable destination for the manufacturing of sustainable battery materials used in high-nickel batteries
REUTERS/Esha Vaish/File Photo Purchase Licensing Rights STOCKHOLM, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Swedish battery maker Northvolt is looking to source cobalt, used to make chemicals for electric vehicle batteries, from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the company said on Friday.
“As substantiated by the BloombergNEF report, the prospect of the expanding the value chain of development of lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles value chains to DRC and Africa is both financially and environmentally appealing,” commented Dr. Sidi Ould Tah, Director General of the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA).
“The DRC produces about 70 per cent of global cobalt but captures just 3 percent of the battery and electric vehicle value chain.
African countries could play a major role in the lithium-ion battery supply chain by taking advantage of their abundant natural resources and onshoring more of the value chain.
