As the world moves to meet stringent targets for cutting carbon emissions - partly by phasing out internal-combustion-engine cars - demand for #lithium#cobalt & #nickel vital for #EV#batteries will soar, raising the prospect of shortages.

Copper is a critical metal for many industries but particularly for the New Energy Transition.
Below is a great schematic demonstrating the ways that it is processed. #copper
The world risks ‘running out of copper’ — and here’s how high prices may rise as the economy reopens, BofA warns - MarketWatch. #copper https://t.co/hRT3UbsyaT
The price of #cobalt has jumped 40% so far this year on persistent demand from electric vehicle #EV makers, underlining the challenge in reducing reliance on the rare metal to make #batteries for longer-range cars.

This older graph (2014) from the from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) provides amazing context.
Let this sink in: Pre-1850, it was WOOD !!!!!!

The reasoning of analysts at the investment bank is that copper will play a key role in the rush to replace vehicles with internal combustion engines with electric vehicles (EVs) as well as being essential in everything else which uses electricity.

For all the talk of #cobalt free #batteries, 66% of all new #cathode capacity in construction today is targetting cobalt-containing chemistries. No 1 size fits all for passenger #EVs but to meet energy density, charging etc needs, NCM/NCA still pivotal: https://t.co/NVJfC2OtsQ
After an incredible 2-year run, many New Energy Indices have taken a slight hit in 2021.
The chart below shows the YTD returns of the top New Energy Indices.
Blue Horizon's New Energy Economy 100 Index is the top performer. #newenergy

.@Ereguly of the @Globeandmail argues that access to #cobalt will become so important that it may drive miners and #carmakers to merge. Most cobalt is mined in DRC and refined in China. Who will soon be supplying ethical U.S. cobalt?

It’s official: we are now at 200 #EV battery megafactories / gigafactories in the pipeline - @benchmarkmin
But how much lithium, graphite, cobalt, nickel, cobalt, manganese will this need? a lot
