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.
Study identifies DRC as a favorable destination for the manufacturing of sustainable battery materials used in high-nickel batteries
“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).
H. Koyama, N. Onodera, Negative electrode for lithium-ion secondary batteries used in vehicles, such as an EV, has anode collector, negative electrode active material layer is provided on the surface of the anode collector for the lithium-ion secondary batteries, in, Toyota Jidosha Kk (Toyt-C).
In so doing, the country and the rest of Africa can extend their access from the USD271 billion battery precursor segment to the more lucrative USD1.4 trillion combined battery cell production and cell assembly segments of the battery minerals global 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.
