That’s according to Dr. Michael Moats, professor and interim chair of materials science and engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology, who says reducing carbon emissions from energy systems in the United States will increase the need for metal production by two to six times per kilowatt of energy production.

Cobalt is primarily produced in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where there is a notable risk of supply chain disruption and exploitation of workers is quite commonplace. Back in 2020, Tesla announced that it was looking to remove cobalt from its batteries to create a better and cheaper electric vehicle.

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, according to a new study on a unified African supply chain by BloombergNEF (BNEF).

Traction batteries and motors in electric vehicles (EVs) are very different than the powertrain components of the internal-combustion engine vehicles they replace. It is also a very expensive material with its supply and mining confined to a large majority in China and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

While the switch from combustion engines could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it could also create bottlenecks that may stall the process unless they are identified and addressed early on. On the one hand, more than half of the worldwide supply (126,000 tonnes) is mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

CBA has also undertaken a scoping study with a leading international engineering firm specializing in base metal refineries, to assess the potential conversion of the facility to nickel sulfate production, for modest capital expenditure. Nickel and cobalt recoveries averaged 99% and 96%, respectively, over SMP Refinery’s operating life.

To answer these questions, we collaborated with Envirostrat to investigate some of the most common questions and concerns about the environmental impact that increased EV uptake will have on NZ, and in particular, how they really compare to ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles). In comparison, EV engines run on lithium batteries.

The Democratic Republic of Congo produces 70 percent of the world's cobalt, and most of the world's nickel sits under Indonesian rainforests. Land-based mining is already fraught with environmental destruction, emissions, human rights abuses , and mountains of waste, as well as precarious global supply chains.

Scientists and engineers have extended the range of EVs by cramming ever more energy into their batteries, and vehicle charging networks have expanded in many countries. For example, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) holds about 50 percent of the world’s cobalt reserves. EVs have finally come of age.
