Can the Democratic Republic of the Congo produce lithium-ion battery cathode precursor materials?
London and Kinshasa, November 24, 2021 – The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) can leverage its abundant cobalt resources and hydroelectric power to become a low-cost and low-emissions producer of lithium-ion battery cathode precursor materials.
Can Africa become a low-cost and low-emissions battery producer?
The country is thus uniquely positioned to become a low-cost and low-emissions producer of lithium-ion battery precursor materials and cells, says an African Development Bank report titled ‘Strengthening Africa’s Role in the Battery and Electric Vehicle Value Chain’.
Can special economic zones make battery precursors in DRC and Zambia?
A BloombergNEF study was commissioned to look into the feasibility of setting up Special Economic Zones to manufacture battery precursors in DRC and Zambia. It confirmed the project was technically feasible and financially viable, with an estimated total cost of $2.7 billion.
How much cobalt does the DRC have?
The DRC has 51% of the world’s cobalt reserves as well as huge hydroelectric power potential.
Is Africa a good place to buy a battery?
Africa has a wealth of critical battery raw materials and is in a position to use these to attract more value-add in downstream processing and manufacturing.”
Why does the DRC rely on hydroelectric power plants?
This is due to the DRC’s proximity to cathode raw materials and heavy reliance on hydroelectric power plants.
