New technologies developed for the energy transition and the materials they use are creating a rapid increase in demand for critical minerals that, until recently, were only produced in comparatively small quantities. This is the case, for example, for lithium, cobalt or nickel, as part of rechargeable batteries that equip electric vehicles. This list also includes rare earth elements (REE), which are now indispensable for the manufacture of permanent magnets vital for wind turbines and electric vehicles. Eventually, elements such as cadmium, tellurium, and indium are needed to produce photovoltaic cells. Consequently, a critical minerals strategy is needed, considering all links in the chain and creating policies and agreements between countries that permit these chains to be resilient and diverse enough.

February Webinar: The Battery Electric Vehicle Meets The Clean Energy Challenge   I came across Ron Miller last year when I read an article he wrote on the electrification of transportation. I won’t summarize the whole article, but I will try to touch on some of his points.    If the US goes forward with our electrification plans, then the question arises, how do we get all the minerals needed to make batteries? His article investigates many of the different needed minerals, their scarcity, where they are found, and which countries control the production. (You may have heard some talk of this on Joe Rogan. Joe interviewed Siddarth Kara on the mining of cobalt in the Congo.)    One other question that Ron Miller posited at the end of the article, which was very poignant, was this -- Just as the last 100 years have had a series of wars over oil, if we electrify, will we see future political struggles over these scarce minerals? It makes sense to me. When your nation needs resources to thrive or even to continue, it will fight to ensure a stable supply.   Ron is a contrarian. He makes great points. He thinks harder than most of us and is a great writer.   Join us Wednesday, February 21st at 10 AM Pacific for a webinar, as Ron discusses his findings.

Join me as I present, “The Battery Electric Vehicle Meets The Clean Energy Challenge” on Wednesday, 21 February at 10 AM PST. Key questions to consider on this subject: 1) Where will all the clean energy minerals needed in the future be sourced, with what reliability, and at what price?, 2) What multiples of 2020 mineral production are needed for the energy transition?, and 3) Are clean energy mineral sources as diverse as oil and gas? https://lnkd.in/gvksvaRK

🔋💡 Navigating the Complexities of Critical Battery Metal Supply: IEA Report Unveils Insights into Meeting Today's Demand! The latest report from Argus Media sheds light on the intricate dynamics of critical battery metal supply and its intersection with the current demand landscape. As the global transition towards clean energy and electric mobility accelerates, ensuring adequate supply of critical battery metals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel becomes paramount for sustaining this momentum.
