Finding Battery Minerals With AI

Cars That Think

For this trend to continue, though, mining companies need to find a lot more of the metals used to build electric cars and their batteries. And so we use copper to move electric power around the vehicle, to move electric power around the energy system in the transmission grid. Today I’m talking with Josh Goldman. Really appreciate it.

BNEF: producing battery materials in the DRC could lower supply-chain emissions and add value to the country’s cobalt

Green Car Congress

Capital cost to build a 10k metric-ton battery precursor plant. Automakers in Europe can lower their emissions by shortening the transport distance and capitalizing on the DRC’s hydroelectric powered grid and proximity to raw materials. This is three times cheaper than what a similar plant in the US would cost. Source: BNEF.
