Welcome to the Future of Sustainable Mobility

As the global demand for electric vehicles (EVs) skyrockets, the race is on to meet the power needs of our electric future. Annual production volumes of battery electric vehicles are set to soar, projected to surge from 4.8 million units in 2021 to an impressive 50 million units by 2034. This seismic shift propels battery demand into uncharted territory, jumping from 260GWh in 2021 to a staggering 4,568GWh in 2034, and an additional 147GWh to support hybrid vehicles.

Navigating the EV Revolution

However, with this electric revolution comes the responsibility to ensure the sustainability of our advancements. The key lies not just in meeting the demand but doing so with a conscientious understanding of the environmental impact. Along the battery value chain, challenges abound, but none are as critical as securing a robust supply of raw materials that are not only financially viable but also environmentally sustainable. This is the linchpin to achieving our collective net-zero climate goals.

Understanding the Complexities: Carbon Footprints and More

To embark on this journey, it is imperative to comprehend the intricacies of carbon dioxide emissions. Understanding and quantifying these emissions prevent the shifting or deflection of responsibility, fostering a transparent approach. Moreover, it empowers industry participants to make informed, ethical decisions in sourcing and investments, all aimed at managing and mitigating their carbon footprint.
