Unfortunately, the raw materials required for the batteries are often not extracted in a very environmentally friendly way. Cobalt from Congo, for example, is usually problematic in terms of mining. The mobility and energy transition should be as sustainable as possible. Economic dependencies are also a factor, as is the case with graphite from China, which is not welcomed. Efforts are therefore being made to recycle or use batteries in the so-called second life. With the latter, a service life of ten to twelve years can often still be achieved. Recycling is (still) very time-consuming and cost intensive.

Without batteries, and lithium-ion batteries will continue to be used for a very long time, there can be no electromobility. There is widespread agreement that hydrogen mobility will play an important role in the climate and mobility transition in the long term. This is particularly true for long ranges and heavy goods vehicles. The first fuel cell went into operation in 1932. Fuel cells have been used to power spacecraft since the 1960s. Energy from hydrogen fuel cells and batteries can power trains on non-electrified lines. Recently, a train of this type was successfully tested for the first time on the Iberian Peninsula. To make mobility greener, battery raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel or platinum for electrolysis are required.

Battery raw materials are the business of Green Bridge Metals – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/green-bridge-metals-corp/ -, the projects are located in Manitoba and Ontario.

Sibanye-Stillwater – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/sibanye-stillwater-ltd/ – focuses on platinum metals, battery metals and gold. The company operates in South Africa and the USA.
