Will battery chemistry reduce cobalt reliance?
Although battery chemistry is evolving to reduce cobalt reliance, McKinsey forecasts a 7.5% annual increase in absolute cobalt demand until . This growth highlights issues around sourcing transparency and price volatility, with companies prioritising ethical and sustainable practices in response.
Can high-purity manganese be used for battery use?
Despite being plentiful, the refinement of high-purity manganese into manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM) for battery usage is complex and demands stringent control to eliminate impurities. McKinsey's production growth projections remain conservative with only a small fraction of demand anticipated to be met by .
Which countries are most likely to mine nickel and cobalt?
McKinsey's analysis indicates a geographic concentration in the supply chains of these critical materials, posing significant risks. Indonesia and the DRC are mentioned as major players in nickel and cobalt mining respectively, while major lithium sources include Argentina, Bolivia and Chile.
What type of nickel is used in a battery?
Today, about 65% of class 1 nickel—a high-purity type essential for batteries—is used in stainless steel production. By , the competition between the battery and steel sectors could lead to shortages.
