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.
