4 FAQs about Africa lithium energy storage power supply procurement EK

Why is a lithium supply chain important in Africa?

Understanding of lithium supply, demand and markets is essential for development of the Li supply chain in Africa. Energy security. Lithium mineral processing is highly energy intensive, and so secure energy supplies are essential for industrial engagement in the lithium supply chain.

Can Africa develop an integrated lithium supply chain for batteries?

In this report, we summarise the potential for developing an integrated lithium supply chain for batteries in Africa. Lithium is a moderately abundant element in the Earth's crust, and is predominantly concentrated into three types of mineral deposit: pegmatites and granites; sedimentary deposits; and brines (Bowell et al., 2020).

Which African countries have lithium resources?

This report reviews known resources of lithium, and engagement in the battery supply chain, across key African countries. Many African countries (most notably Zimbabwe, Namibia, Ghana, Democratic Republic of Congo and Mali) have lithium resources and the potential for lithium mines.

Will lithium be exported outside Africa?

In the coming years, as global demand for lithium for batteries grows, it is highly likely that some current exploration projects will develop into mines. However, these mines will likely produce mineral concentrates that will then be exported outside Africa for further refining.
