Supply side challenges for an electrified world
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The buzz around the electrification of transport is intensifying. This transformation– together with the rising use of batteries in energy storage applications – will require vast amounts of key metals. Lithium, cobalt and nickel will be the most critical. Failure to navigate this new race for resources correctly could lead to a situation where we swap the geopolitics of oil for more of the same with metals.
